Bin Inserts for HDX Organizer Box
Description
Bin inserts allow to partition large compartments of a store-bought box into smaller sections. This allows to store more things of different type in the same box space. The box is called "HDX Interlocking Organizer Box" in Canada. It is inexpensive, strong, and seems to be of good quality. The compartments in it are suitable for home-improvement level of nuts, bolts and some such, but not small enough for electronic parts, RC-level/small hardware. A bin insert can be printed in one of four variants, with two, three, four and six compartments. A picture above shows a row and column number against each compartment of the box. All STL models have such an indicator as part of a file name. For example, STL model "hdx_bin_R1C1_x3.stl" will fit into row 1, column 1 and will have 3 compartments. Some compartments in the box have the same dimensions so that one bin model can fit into different compartments. The table below represents rows and columns of the box, the cells indicate which bin model can fit into that cell: | |**C1**|**C2**|**C3**|**C4**|**C5**| |--------|:----:|:----:|:----:|:----:|:----:| | **R1** | R1C1 | R1C2 | R1C2 | R1C2 | R1C5 | | **R2** | R2C1 | R1C2 | R1C2 | R1C2 | R2C1 | | **R3** | R3C1 | R3C2 | R3C3 | R3C2 | R3C1 | Although, 3D models have tight tolerances, there will be a small gap between the box lid and the top of bin inserts. The consequence is that when the box is shaken, really small parts will find that gap and migrate to adjacent compartments. To mitigate, one option is to attach an anti-slip mat to the lid with a double-sided tape (see the picture of that contraption above).
