Making a simple parts storage rack

  • Today, it's a simple shop infrastructure project.
    I've been getting several parts assortments recently that all come in similar small divider boxes, and in the interest of not having the pile of them fall all over the floor, I'm making a storage rack for them.
    The design was easy using the free tools at www.makercase.com
    And then made a few modifications to the file using inkscape.org/ (free, open source and available for most operating systems)
    And then I cut it all out using my Creality Falcon 2 laser

    This isn't the only way to do it.
    It's probably not the best way to do it.
    But it's how I did it.

    I think about doing something like this every once in a while when i look at the stack of these containers. I'm also thinking about buying a cheap plastic version of the unit he set this on from Harbor Freight because I have several different sizes of these small containers

    I had exactly this, from laser cut cardboard. Then I 3D printed a bigger hive and using it right now.

    Have you ever done a lab tour? I would love to see how you organize your parts and electronics in your lab? I'm sure many of your subscribers would like to watch that too

      Not a specific tour, but various corners of the place have appeared from time to time.
      If I did a full tour, I'd be concerned about the health impacts on any OCD viewers.

    Hey now, engineers aren't lazy, we just maximize efficiency! Brilliant solution, liked it immediately.
    Edit: did you post the design files for this anywhere?
    Edited Edit: never mind, Makercase itself has all we need.

      Yeah, it should be pretty quick for anyone to reproduce it using MakerCase.

    Useful bit of software, I'll have to check it out.
    I wanted a 160mm x3 mm circle with 4 3mm hole's, 7hrs on the 3D printer, 35 seconds on the K40. Showing that you need to have both in the toy room.

    How much does that laser cutter cost? I have some scrap wood like that but cutting it manually will take hours and won't be accurate.

    You don't use the gridfinity system to 3D print

    • @pileofstuff
      @pileofstuff  Месяц назад +1

      I've been experimenting with it, but it seems to work best with horizontal surfaces. I've exhausted moat of those, i need to go more vertical.

    • @filiepmaes9071
      @filiepmaes9071 Месяц назад +1

      Then you can begin with multiboard and go vertical and every where. And also compatible with gridfinity. Both very nice "ecosystems " for storaging
