Fixed the gaps of the original model, smoothed/sloped the overhangs so that the upper rests were could be printed without supports or bridge settings, and reinforced the front lip and sides to be able to hold greater weights. I liked HyperPeople's remix of the Stackable Bins, but I wanted something stronger and that could be printed without supports.
Print with thick walls (0.8mm+) and use a moderate/light infill (15%+) on the sides to save on material. = )
Bring out your ruler. The current model size is 63mm x 68.70mm. It's walls vary between 1mm and 2mm and should scale well if you need to print it larger.
I have not printed this myself as of yet. Honestly, there are much better looking models that utilize clever angles to achieve great strength with less material usage. This was simply an exercise, to create something that could hold 5lb+ of screws and bolts. (when scaled up.) I have not tested this myself as of yet to assure it's strength or practical ease of use/execution. = ) Original note: Though it should be perfectly fine as it is, I plan on scaling this model up so that parts are easier to get in and out of. I have not printed it myself. I only fixed the gaps in the model/mesh, sloped the overhangs/top bin rests (to print without supports), and thickened the front lip and side walls to be more sturdy and resist bowing against heavier loads. I will be trying this out at 180% or larger to store my printed parts and bits to keep my work area tidy. Thanks to the original authors for creating these handy models! = D
