Does a mini Systainer fit inside the drawer of SYS4-Sort/3 Sortainer?

Does a mini Systainer fit inside the drawer of SYS4-Sort/3 Sortainer?  Based on what I've looked up, the mini sys is 71mm in height, and the depth of the  SYS4-Sort/3 Sortainer is 69mm so I'm assuming it doesn't but hoping these measurements aren't exact.

It's frustratingly close.  But no.  2mm too tall.

I like the idea too. The Mini systainers are underdeveloped, they have a great initial size, but do not fit the rest of the systainer system in any way; close but never really “there”.
- Maybe when the SYS3 sortainer eventually rolls out?

There's going to be a SYS3 Sortainer?

I don’t know. This kind of reminds me of the old Onion joke about: “ Starbucks opens new Starbucks in bathroom of Starbucks.”

So file off the feet and it fits

Probably.  You go first  [big grin]

I don't own a SYS4-Sort/3 and the only Systainer Mini I have is the classic version.

Bosch with the L-boxxes has an inlay to put two Mini L-boxxes into a regular L-boxx with some small boxes on the side.

But it all sounds a bit like Matryoshka doll

They do actually. You can place two stacks of Minis inside a standard systainer next to each other. You can also place one stack vertically in a SYS 3 or bigger systainers. Not sure how it is with the SYS3 though but the same was the case with the Classic Minis in Classic SYS 3s.

That said, there are not many cases where putting Minis inside normal Systainers makes much sense. But it does work.

IMO the issue is with the stacking overhead. They sacrifice some efficiency to be stackable while as subdividers that is not really necessary. A specialist thing of sorts. If it fits the use case, likely nothing else will. If it does not, bad luck.

It can be done, but it's far from elegant
