This is a mini 1x2 version of my 4x4 Gridfinity Box for Stuff (v3.3) 6U and 12U, and is intended for folks who want to test the fit of parts before going all in on a much longer print of the larger boxes. The assembly is the same, but due to the space constraints there is no handle or label on these. Currently there is only a gasket version, since I wanted to give this model as many of the features that could be tested as possible. It will also work without a gasket however.
See the 20 bin model for printing and assembly suggestions, since this version is the same, just (much) smaller. I have a build guide on my blog with some tips on assembly. The instructions are for a case with more features, but it shows how to assemble the latches and hinges.
It requires the following hardware:
(1) M3 x 12mm SHCS (these hold the latch “cleats” to the top of the case)
(1) M3 x 20mm SHCS
(2) M3 x 16mm SHCS or (1) M3 x 35mm SHCS (for the hinge)
(1) M3 x 30mm SHCS
(8) 6x2mm Cylinder Magnets - OPTIONAL
(SHCS = Socket Head Cap Screws)
The only files that are different from the original design, are the parts for the top and bottom (base) of the case. All latch, label, and handle parts are carried over unchanged from the original (but are included here for convenience).
PLA can be used for the boxes, but PETG is recommended for the latches. The gasket should be run in TPU (though it will still close without a gasket as well). A 3MF 4 plate profile is included. It uses the following settings:
AMS is not required, but here is how it is set up in the profile:
1 = PLA- Gray
2 = PLA - Blue
3 = PLA - Orange
4 = PLA - White
5 = TPU - White (this is the non-AMS spool on the back)
6 = PETG - Blue (used for the latches only)
I recommend that you test that your printer can run TPU without issues first. The cap of a sharpie is the tool I use to press the TPU gasket into place. The gasket is not symmetrical so make sure to verify the position before installing it Start by pressing in the middle of the gasket along all 4 sides, then once it's set in position, press in the corners.
Other stuff:
If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff 20 bin and 25 bin cases (or other 6U tall cases):

The models here could not have been made without the work of Zach Freedman, who introduced the world to Gridfinity, and then set it free for everyone to use. These models are not based on direct remixing of Zach' original models, but they are fully compatible, and use the same, or a similar specification for the bin bases, bin lips and base grids, which Zach Freedman developed. Zach Freedman's work is available on Thangs, and you can find examples of his Gridfinity designs here and here, which are available under his MIT license. If you like this model, or want to learn more about Gridfinity, you can check out Zach Freedman's YouTube, or you can support Zach Freedman's work on Patreon (patreon.com/zackfreedman).
