Show your systainer

Finally found the time to start organizing my hardware! (I modeled and 3d printed my own bins because none of the models out there had all the features I wanted, I'm expecting to color code everything moving forward.)

This is superb, bravo!

Nice job! 

Your bins you made, did you share this publicly on a 3D printer site?

Exactly. Just don't usually even need to bring chargers for drills. Just an extra battery.

This guy had the same idea:

I was just wanting to see on systainer with the CSX 12 and 18 with one extra battery each and all the accessories if anyone had done that.

That is like 50% foam  [blink]
Is it a tool or is it an art collection...

Thought the same.. It looks good, but once you shall bring along something extra, and really NEED the charger for backup - it’s back to another systainer or else for that matter.
The space where the charger goes are actually a good space for extras for the drill if you leave the charger behind, or have the charger with another tool..

I look at these sorts of things and think how on earth can they afford to waste so much space? I cram everything into a dense puzzle for pretty much everything as space is such a premium for me, and I do like to keep as much of a range of consumables on hand all the time which means loads of bolts, sandpaper, router bits, etc, etc.

It does of course mean I need to have a pic of how some oddly shaped items are packed as getting them back in can be problematic! ;-)

Most of my non-Festool tool systainers are just random crap thrown in there. I really do like the Festool SYS/SORT-IV with bins for hardware (and without bins for many Tools).  For hand tools and hardware, weight becomes as much of an issue than space for me.  I did actually take the time to use Kaizen foam for my Dewalt drill/impact.  The biggest problem I have with that is the weight distribution front to back.

That looks amazingly efficient for small parts. Do they 'lock in place' in the bottom too?

They do! Design-wise it's close to the stackable-style bins you can find for example on Forge3d but full height, with some different thicknesses, and missing the top locating tab on one side so that I have a flat surface to put a label. It's really efficient, these small parts in their original packaging used to take like 4x the volume.

This is superb, bravo!

Thank you! Just printed a bunch of red ones for imperial hardware, time to start sorting and labelling

Nice job!

Thanks! I haven't no, I would want to refine the design a bit before sharing it or selling the bins, and right now it's optimized to print very fast (.42mm layer height) at the cost of precision/looks.

What does it cost you to print a full set?

 

[alexalexalex]

What does it cost you to print a full set?

Maybe 20-30$ of filament? i havent tracked too closely. A *lot* of printer hours though, even cranking the speed up.

There's something similar available on Etsy. They work out very expensive if you were to fill an entire systainer with them though.

The images are identical to this printable project, yet the seller does not have the decency to respect the license attribution requirement, which is a very low bar.

That's very gross, especially at that price and for a design where it would be incredibly simple to make your own version...

That’s a really poor show, sorry for linking it!

Here's something I'm pretty excited about: first prototypes for a Tajima Safety Holder integration. Despite them being for the most part only available in Japan, I have been a big fan of Tajima SEF accessories: their locking attachments makes them super useful for tool belts/vests if you switch your loadout pretty regularly, even in a workshop environments, and I have accumulated quite a lot of them. Made these plates based on Tanos' "ADAPT-L" and I'm already a big fan, gonna add them to all my T-LOC and SYS-AZ. Next steps, refining the design and making a sys3 compatible model.

Very nice, great idea. That Tajima gear is fantastic - if you go to Amazon Japan, there's so much available.

That's where I get most of it from! But I like the system so much I've started 3d printing adapters for all my non-Tajima gear too... In ABS-GF it's absolutely sturdy enough. I'm currently finishing an adapter for all my veto pouches to fit in the system too.

I wanted to repurpose some systainers that weren't being used and love the organizers with the clear lids. Still a work in progress though. I need to print custom bins that will sit near the handle otherwise the lid won't close snugly because of the way the inside of the lid is shaped.

That makes no sense. They sell another set of bins for normal Systainers that don't have issues with the lid.

It's called SYS 1 BOX

Using a 3d printed bottom allows to use the same boxes as the SYS3 ORG. They fit in a SYS1 as long as the bottom is really thin. See a systainer tempate I did a while back.

 

[Coen]

Yes, with custom inlay top and bottom.
