I likely printed those on an i3 MK2. I’ve never been enthusiastic about them though. Certainly better than not having any trays. :-) (Most of the ones I have are roughly a 2×3 GU footprint with different compartmens.l </p><p>Fast forward a few years, I deployed <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> widespread here and would like to significantly improve the parts tray situation.</p><p>What I don’t like about the current ones…</p>
MacLemon<p>- I don’t see a good way to build a workflow with them. Assortment of parts → semi built assembly (larger part) → fully built assembly. (e.g. pistons, o-rings, shock-body, springs, caps, oil bottle, grease → semi assembled shock body → fully assembled coil-over-oil-filled-shock-absorber)</p><p>What <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> solves for me:<br>- Large ecosystem to benefit from and contribute back to due a wide user base.<br>- Done right, all bins, and trays and even baseplates can be made to stack. → Convenient storage!</p>

MacLemon<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://gts.amd.im/@amd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>amd</span></a></span> I *can* design my own, but that wasn’t my question. I wanted to know which <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> trays people are using and why they like exactly that one. (I my hope for a link to an object I had missed so far, because there’s so many. Secondary for inspiration should I need to build my own.)</p><p>Thanks for the link to what you’re using. This doesn’t match my requirements at all. (Not stackable, not Gridfinity based.)</p>
MacLemon<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@falk_" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>falk_</span></a></span> Ah, that’s just a minor crush… I’m several kilos of filament ahead of that. I could stop with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> at any time if I wanted to.

MacLemon<p>Looking to upgrade my small parts trays I use for <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/RCCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RCCars</span></a>, model building, <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a>, repairing devices, etc.</p><p>Browsing the usual model websites doesn’t show anything compelling that is <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> based and a handy parts tray. They all seem cobbled together with little thought or proper construction. Some even slapped some gridfinity bottoms on an existing model that doesn’t really fit the 42mm universe.</p><p>What Gridfinity parts trays are you using, and what do like about them in particular?</p>
