About this design
Retro-futurist capsule-style storage bins with pill-shaped bodies, a flat front badge pad and press-fit number badges. The bins stand on standard Gridfinity feet and have a Gridfinity-compatible stacking rim, so they stack on each other and drop into Gridfinity baseplates, including the 3x2 and 4x2 baseplates in this kit.
The kit also has divider and SMD-tray inserts, a drawer unit, a pen cup and two small capsules (flip-lid and snap-fit cap).

Print notes
- Material: PLA - 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 4 walls, 15% gyroid infill, 5 top / 5 bottom layers - No supports needed for any part - Starter set (2x S bin, M bin, L bin + 2 dividers + SMD tray, 3x2 baseplate, badge plate): about 367 g PLA, about 18-24 h - Full kit (every part in the kit, 2x S bin): about 723 g PLA - Grams are CAD estimates (volume x 1.24 g/cm3); times assume 15-20 g/h. Your slicer's figures will differ. Assembly: - Print the tolerance coupon first. It tests the stacking rim at 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4 mm clearance (marked with 2 / 3 / 4 notches), a Gridfinity foot with magnet holes, badge pocket fits (0.0 / 0.1 / 0.2 mm) and divider slots. - Badges press into the 0.6 mm pocket on each bin's badge pad (0.1 mm press fit). Add a dab of glue if they feel loose. For two-colour badges, pause at Z = 2.0 mm and swap filament. - Magnets (optional): the coupon's foot tile has holes for 6x2 mm disc magnets (Ø6.2 x 2.2 mm, glue in). The bins in this release have no magnet holes. - Flip-lid capsule: the hinge pin is a piece of 1.75 mm filament about 26 mm long. - Snap capsule: the cap snaps over a 0.45 mm bead on the body's neck. Four flex slots in the cap skirt make it easier to open. - Disclosure: the fits were checked in CAD only. Nothing has been test-printed: snap force, drawer slide, badge press fit and magnet fit depend on your printer. The drawer unit and pen cup do not have Gridfinity feet. - Bin STLs can show a few open mesh edges (a tiny seam at the feet). Slicers repair this automatically.
