SYS3 Bins - 3D Files for printing your own

[Enormicon]

How long does it take to print a bin?  Also the bottom mat?  I guessing it takes so time.

It took me just over 4h to print one 50x50 bin ghjaxman. According to my slicer program it would take 5h32m to print a 9x9 grid of the bottom mat, as in the picture... just thinking as I'm typing but a small MC-Escher-style puzzle piece, that locks together on all four sides might be a good way to go... then anyone can print out however many they'd need to fill up their drawers... EUREKA! back to the drawing board ;D... the floor of the SYS3 ORG would also make a great silicone mold, that you could use to make flexible/roll up mats to hold the bins in your drawers or workbench tops... I had previously wanted to make an MFT/3 sized silicone mat so both may be in the cards in the future...

An individual LEGO-brick style floor mat (though in this case it uses 45-degree shallow triangles, which require no supports in an FDM print). A drop of glue could be used at the intersections of the triangles if you wanted it to remain rigid...  will print out a few to test... then could make some edge trim in various sizes to "lock" it in better in your drawer...any other ideas appreciated!

...strips of these printed in 2x4 lengths, or whatever conveniently fits on a 3D print bed might be a better option as well... just spitballin...

My biggest complaint about Festool’s (or Bott’s I guess) bins is that there is no even bin configuration to allow for symmetry in the Systainer. The Systainer is 7 bins (50mm bins) by 5 bins (50mm bins). 7 and 5 are not divisible by 2 or 3. I made a custom domino assortment in the new Sys 3 Org but it’s tough to pick the boxes out because there are only a few combinations of larger size boxes that can fit in the Systainer.

This configuration allows me to store essentially the same Dominos that come in the 4/5/6/8/10 assortment in a much more compact Systainer. 89mm vs. 157.5mm that a Sys 2 takes up.

Could you design bins that divide the Sys 3 Org into 6 compartments, 4 compartments, 3 compartments, and 2 compartments?

 

[edwarmr]

These are a few examples of how I would like to see the bins made. The 3 and 6 bin combinations would fall in the middle of the grid squares and would require notching to work. The four dividers would be simple enough to make. I dont know why Bott and Tanos didn’t think of making some even combinations.

Absolutely! I'll make them right now

Looks like you really dont need the helping hand with modelling at least, this is going really fast and well. Fantastic job!
I am still a bit on the fence when it comes to switching over to the new bins/system but have to say that it is tempting to make the jump. Of course, the current line of Systainers will get all the upgrades/development, and not the previous generation.

Have a look at how Alex chappel makes several layers of bins as well.
It does not seem like the new Systainers have boxes with the combined lid and drawer underneath like the prevous generation has [yet].
I really like these for storing a machine plus supplies:https://www.festool.com/accessory/200118---sys-combi-3

Are you printing the bins standing upright and with no support material?

Edit:
I think your mats looks very good. Will be perfect in home made drawers.

Thanks

Great job on all your bins so far! I really like the simplicity of the streamliner bins.

If Festool were really smart they would make some bins with insertable dividers for Dominos like they do with their Sys 2 Domino bins. You could have a business with your bins my friend

I checked out your website.  What kind of 3D printer do you have.  I have looked at them for years but I have thought of buying one until now.  Thoughts?

 

[Enormicon]

These should work edwarmr (and thank-you!), though to be certain I'll get a set of the 83.3x175's on my printer ASAP (that should also prove that the 83.3x350's will work).
My printer can't fit a full 350mm, so if anyone prints one, let me know how it turned out!

EDIT: The 83.3x175 and 83.3x350 MIDDLE bins were corrected on Mar.15, 2021 to allow the lid of the ORG to close. If you downloaded them prior to this date please replace them! Cheers, BK

Thanks ghjaxman! Just starting on YouTube . I'll get all these files on the site in the "free" section as well. I have a PRUSA MK3 and love it, but would prefer a bigger build plate now. A friend has an Artillery Sidewinder and is very happy with it. The PRUSA printed 77 days straight (it tracks the data; and that's 24hrs a day BTW) before I had an issue (of my own doing). It has been a workhorse and I have no complaints, besides the size of the build plate (you can work around that too, by slicing a project and then gluing it back together afterwards).

The best thing I've done 3D printing-wise though is learning Fusion360. I know Bob Clagett and others have woodworking-focused Fusion 360 courses available for a fee, but I used Kevin Kennedy's free YouTube "course" (I'm not sure it's still set up as "Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days" - it only takes 5 days if you're cramming [laughing]).

After the lessons I made a bunch of hobby station modules (because I wanted to make my own version of this: HobbyZone Modular Workshop System); lots of mistakes and "learning-on-the-job", but now it feels intuitive.

FYI: The small square puzzle piece drawer bottoms/mats work fine, but the small pyramidal bits that ensure they align correctly aren't really big enough to give a good registration... I think printing them in larger sheets will prove more effective.. will fill my print bed with them once the set of 83.3x175's are printed (22hrs from now).

A very interesting thread... [big grin]

Have you tested the Festool-like version to see how well small parts stay inside the boxes when the Systainer is turned upside down?

I just did, with an equal number of varying sizes in each. The thinnest washers I own are brass and 0.9mm (I don't own any of those super tiny ones) and both the Festool and the Festool-like performed equally well (none came out). Then I tried with some confetti and the Festool had an escapee before the Festool-like version, but I'd chalk that up to chance [laughing]

Sorry Svirre! I blew past your offer to lend a hand with the modelling when I read the post the first time.

Ahh, I'm looking at that Systainer with the integrated Sortainer from your link. Those ARE cool.

Let me watch Alex's video again.. some nesting options would be a neat idea too.
EDIT: Oh man, I didn't realize he'd basically made a bunch of SYS3 Organizers out of wood and his 3D-printed boxes already, ha ha! cool.

I'm printing them right-side up WITH support to ensure those bottom features stay intact.. those bottom features themselves are only 4mm tall, so not much support is required but I'm sure there's an even slicker version that could be devised.

EDIT: Just checked some details because I was curious; the 50x50 with supports uses 11.23m of filament and takes 4hr5m for $0.85CAD vs. no supports (which I don't think will print successfully) which uses 10.72m of filament, takes 3hr53m for $0.81CAD

They look great! I’m looking forward to seeing how the 83.3x175 bins turn out from your printer. Thanks for all your work!

Some divider ideas for the existing Festool bins. Utilizes the "collar" portion at the top... will print a few tomorrow.
Starting with the smallest 50x50 bin to speed up the print time.

Cool ideas! If they stick up that high will they hit the grid on the lid?

 

[edwarmr]

The other more complicated option would be the inner supports and small notches seen in this Domino tenon bin. I’m not sure how difficult that would be to make though.

BK Makes, you are on fire! So much great stuff. Yeah, that base grid is exactly what I was thinking of.
Now I either need to buy a 3d printer, or get my very quarantine cautious friend to make some for me.

Loving the 25x50 Streamliner Bin, they are a great addition
