Don't want sawdust filling your open-top Gridfinity window bins? Tired of screws and nuts spilling everywhere because you accidentally tipped over a bin? Wouldn't it be great if the bins could have easily removable lids?
Here is my take on Zack Freedman's amazing Gridfinity window bins, https://thangs.com/designer/ZackFreedman/3d-model/Gridfinity%20Window%20Divider%20Bin-60754 but with lids!
I started by remixing MaybeItsLesotho 's version https://thangs.com/designer/MaybeItsLesotho/3d-model/Gridfinity%20Window%20Divider%20Bin%20-%20no%20tape-229651 that has a slot for the mircroscope slide (no tape required!), then made a few custom modifications.
- Created a lid for each size compartment. Each lid has one or more magnets to hold it in place.
- Added a slight overhang to the back of the bin to capture the lid. Each id has a chamfer to slip under this overhang.
- Added magnet pockets to the front plate that mate with the magnets in the lids.
- Added small bumps to the back of the bin and the front plate, to help hold the lids in place side-to-side.
The design uses the same 6mm x 2mm magnets that are used to hold the bins in the grids.
Edit: By request, I've added the Fusion 360 files. I didn't have access to the original Fusion 360 files, so I imported the STL, deleted some faces to clean them up, and then made my modifications. They are not fancy parameterized files, so there is one file per model. Maybe someday I'll rework them to combine with parameters. In the meantime, I hope they are helpful!
