Stanley Organizer customizable, nestable bins by BScatterplot

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The original https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1229465 Stanley Container Bin was awesome, but it had a few issues I've cleaned up. I've also added several new features.
Fixes:
-X and Y length weren't quite right. It worked for 2-3 unit-wide boxes, but not bigger than that. The X and Y lengths are now calibrated correctly and you can make full-box bins if you want.
-The corner radii weren't quite matched, resulting in a little "dot" the printer has to keep going back to fill. Now the walls are a continuous thickness through the corners.
-The "pip" height and diameter was a little on the small side. These boxes will fit better and won't slide as much.
New features:
-The boxes are now nestable with an arbitrary number of boxes in a stack. Previously, the nubs of one might not fit right inside the top of another one, and you had to manually specify the height you wanted. Now you just say how many you want in the stack.
-Many more features are customizable, including radii, wall thickness, etc.
-You can add dividers to "skip". For example, you can have 4 dividers but skip 1 and 2, making one large inset bay then 2 smaller ones to the side.
-The height offsets now work with both the thicker AND thinner Stanley organizer boxes.
-"Solid box" mode: if specified, the whole box is generated as a solid. This is useful if printing with large nozzles in vase mode, but you can't use internal dividers.
-Sparse base option: You now can save LOTS of time and filament by not printing the entire base if you don't want to.
-Base and Box are now in a single file and you can generate both with the Customizer.
The stl's posted are an example of what you can do. It's a 2x3 bin box that stacks 3 high in a Deep (tall) Stanley container. The base is also the sparse version that prints much quicker since it omits the midsection.
