Hi all,
Long-time lurker and proud Festool owner. I just received my first SYS3 organizer and wanted to share some files for anyone interested in 3D printing their own sorting bins.
As of this posting I've only made the small 50x50 bin, printing it last night and inspecting it this morning. I think it worked out really well. Cheers & enjoy!
50x50 Bin .STL File
Image links:

3D Bin next to a Festool Bin
Notes (for those that are interested):
This is my interpretation of the bin, its not going to be the same as what you'd get from Festool. The actual bin has some rounded chamfers/filets around the inside bottom edges, which Fusion 360 told me were too complex when I tried making my own. The top 14mm faces of the bins are vertical, while the Festool ones are very slightly angled. This doesn't appear to alter their functionality. I did incorporate the very slight angling in the bottom section, though I don't think that's really required either, as it leaves a slight stepping pattern when FDM printing. The bevelled cutouts where the labels go did not come out very crisply, but they are there. I do not own any Festool labels (204949) so I'm not certain if they fit properly. The holes on the sides (for hanging? or a lid?...maybe something for me to tinker with...) are a bit different, as I extruded them all the way through for simplicity, when the actual bin is only extruded through the "top section".. not sure if this is a clear explanation, but I expect will work just fine. The lip at the bottom of the top 14mm is a hard edge, which my slicer added supports to. A more efficient design (for 3D printing) would have 45-degree angled edges to save plastic/require less support (I'll work on a more efficient version, different sizes, and some custom ones, stay tuned... will post here)
P.S. This is my first attempt at using a Google Drive to share a file link, let me know if it works or not.
