GridLock — Small Drop-In Bins
Created 6 days ago
Description
A set of three drop-in utility bins tailored to fit the smallest full compartment (the 3.5" × 5.1" back-right section) of the open frame system.
They share a common footprint but offer different internal layouts for organizing small hardware or desk sundries.
Variants Included
- Open Bin: A single large cavity for maximum storage.
- Split Bin: Divided neatly in half for sorting smaller items.
- Coin Scoop: Features a smoothly swept floor across its length, allowing you to easily slide out coins or tiny parts without them getting trapped in a corner.
Dimensions
- Outer Footprint: 88.5 mm × 130.5 mm
- Height: 38 mm (designed to sit flush just below a 40 mm frame)
- Clearance: Sized 0.4 mm smaller than the slot for a comfortable drop-in fit

Standard Pegboard Hardware Bin
What it's for A small, open-front storage bin designed to mount directly onto standard 1-inch (25.4mm) pitch pegboard. It provides quick access to loose bench hardware like screws, bolts, and fittings, preventing them from migrating across the workspace. The angled front panel ensures easy scooping and retrieval of small parts. Dimensions Overall footprint: 80mm wide by 50mm deep. Height: 40mm at the rear, tapering down toward the front opening. Mounting: Hooks span exactly 50.8mm to anchor into every second hole on standard pegboard. Wall thickness: 2mm structural walls for a rigid frame. Print notes The bin is oriented to print flat on its base. Depending on your printer's bridging capabilities, the upper pegs on the back may require minimal supports to print cleanly. PETG or ABS is recommended for high-impact workshop environments. Remix ideas Expand the width to span three or four pegboard holes for longer tools or bulkier hardware. Raise the back wall height and steepen the angle for holding taller fittings. Add a central internal divider to separate multiple screw types within a single bin footprint.
Modular Rack Mount System
A modular organizing system designed to bridge a 19-inch rack using standard M8 threaded rods. Drop-in slices let you swap and position devices without taking the rails apart. Upright Slots: Vertical compartments tailored for MacBooks, Mac Minis, and standard routers. Showcase Shelves: Tilted, open-front bays with a retaining ridge and central cable channel for displaying small hubs like a Raspberry Pi, Hue Bridge, or Homey. Drop-In Fit: Each module features open-bottom slots, dropping securely over the support rods without requiring complete disassembly.
Cruzer Blade Sliding Enclosure
A thick-walled, two-part protective enclosure dimensioned specifically for the SanDisk Cruzer Blade. The assembly consists of a main retaining shell and a sliding captive lid. Fitment: Internal cavity measures 42.3 x 18.4 x 8.0 mm (allowing 0.5 mm clearance around the drive). Retention: Dual 0.4 mm internal Z-axis ribs provide friction fit against the drive housing. A solid rear wall prevents push-through. Mechanism: The left-side lid operates on dual 1.5 mm Y-axis rail grooves, featuring spherical detents at both ends of travel for locked open and closed states. Construction: 2.5 mm exterior walls in all directions for rigid PETG FDM printing. The top face includes a 1 mm recess for labelling and a subtracted diagonal chevron pattern.
Spill-Proof Heart Bag
Open bags dump their contents the second they tip over. This small hard-shell tote adds internal retaining flaps just above the midpoint to keep your stuff where it belongs, while a flat-printing pearl-beaded strap hooks onto thin side-loops. The Details Retaining flaps: Sliced down to a razor-thin 0.4mm, sitting at 30mm height. Handle loops: Pushed out past the terminal pearls so the rings don't jam when you thread a clasp through them. Shell walls: 1.5mm thin, keeping the whole assembly light.
HDX Tote Rack Bracket
A heavy-duty 90-degree corner bracket for 2x4 lumber frames, designed specifically to cradle the corners of HDX 27-gallon storage totes. 2-way 90-degree internal butt joint for standard 2x4 lumber Staggered 5.5 mm screw holes to prevent fastener collision Integrated 2-inch solid outer lip keeps totes from sliding off the frame Thickened outer corner pillar handles heavy vertical loads
52.5x89.9mm Utility Box
Plain utility box built to an exact 52.5mm by 89.9mm footprint, standing 14mm tall. Sized for custom internal layouts or dropping in an existing block of components. Measurements to check: Outer Profile: 52.5mm x 89.9mm Overall Height: 14mm Inner Cavity: 49.5mm x 86.9mm Usable Depth: 12.5mm (1.5mm thick floor) Walls are 1.5mm thick all around. If the item you are putting in here is exactly 49.5mm wide, it will be a friction fit; you may want to scale up slightly if it needs drop-in clearance.
