So I did a thing... I love the 3x1 Storage Bins. But sometimes you need a bit more space. So I made a 3x2x1 version (WxDxH). I still thinned out the walls as I did for the 1x1 to add 25% more space vs the stock 3x1 and then went double deep (100mm internal depth). The lock functions normally and all back and side connections function normally.
This design prints in just 4.5 hours for the case and 3.5 hours for the internal components on my X1C and H2D. It opens up the ability to store larger items and one other really wild idea I have that'll take me a few days to design. I also plan to increase the width of the rear articulating arm to support even larger items (so it doesn't become a point of failure). Still have to figure out how to reduce the opening angle.
300 grams for a single 3x1 complete print is just insane. With filament costing 15 euros per kilogram and a five-hour print time, that's more than four euros per 3x1 piece. I don't know, for someone who has to pay for the filament, this is not worth it.
It's a nice design and a nice idea, but if you want to fill your entire wall, there are countless more options you could buy.
Hi. You do excellent work. Absolutely amazing.
As beautiful as these boxes are, they are also of very little use to someone who wants to store anything other than screws. A regular spool of duct tape won't fit into any of these boxes.
Dear friends, we are ALL waiting for the larger, roomier versions. (WxDxH) 3x2x2, 3x2x3, 2x2x2, 1x2x1 etc.
Is there any hope for these larger variants? Not everyone will handle this in CAD.
Hello Play Conveyor!
As some other commenters have noted:
Your container system is really great... but unfortunately, they're a little too small for my needs... Have you considered Cargo containers sizes 2x2 and 3x2? Those would be really perfect!
This is my garage parts set up. Larger boxes are from a kickstarter I supported for bigger parts. The cargo containers need a shelf on the bottom to allow the first row to tip out. I would like to add 3x2 and 2x2 containers one container deep but also add deeper containers for all of them. 3x2x2, 3x2x3, 2x2x2, & 2x2x3.
I am going to add a +1 for a 2x2x2 or 2x2x1. I plan to design mountable objects to this rail design system anyway and will make a model for it if you don't. If I beat you to it I will give the model to you.
Please add deeper containers. These are really cool containers, but they're far too shallow in depth to be that useful. Additionally, the walls of the containers are pretty hefty. With the standard settings, it's going to cost me roughly $30 to print 6 of these things with the enclosure. I can buy 9 deeper and biggers containers for $24 from the hardware store which are also modular. I would love to have the designs of these ones instead though

Hello, very nice model. Just downloaded and starting to build my storage space.
Can you please send me link with some instructions how did you make the transparent front ?
Hi there guys, would there be anyway you could adapt the design for modular 3×1 printing (Split in two parts)? Pity a full Modular case can't be extruded on the A1 mini. Thanks.
would love to have access to blank rail model for all 3 sizes. so i could just join custom mounts for other stuff than containers without breaking the mesh it already has. is that something that would be shareable or?
I'm having issues with the moveable parts being stuck right off the build plate. I changed my Z offset to try and eliminate it but it stopped sticking to the build plate at one point so I had to lower it some. Any tips? Printing on an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max. My A1 is busy but I'll try it next
Hey! If the parts are stuck together off the build plate the most likely cause is warping. We have put some troubleshooting for this at the end of the 'User Guide', we recommend trying that first.
If you are using an unenclosed printer like the Kobra, then making sure the room it's in is at a stable temperature is also important to help prevent warping. Let us know how you get on.
Discussions — Cargo Containers - 3x1 (Large Modular Storage)
Hello tonysr! Do you think you could share your modifications to those larger containers?
Hi, are you using a CAD program to thin the walls? I am trying to do the same thing, but wondering if there is an easier way than Fusion?
hello. can you share please email ?
That's awesome! This is exactly what I've been wanting and looking for. Can you share the modfied file with me?

I'm sure this has been asked, but I would love to see a 2 and three wide, but 2 tall. So its deeper.

BIGGER PLEASE! Im not a design guy.... But Bigger! The rails are so cool!!!
All over it. See below.

just found the instructions in the user guide :)
Great! Hope you enjoy the Containers!

How can I make one 2x3?
awesome work but the rail system leaves me wanting. any chance of a multiboard and hsw variants?
Love everything about your Cargo project.
After playing around with different combination of all possible blocks, I came up with this idea:
What if we can use idea of railway freight car open type as stackable module to the most top of Cargo unit that would work as cool shelf.

Would this work on an a1 mini?
No, it just wont. The container might work, but the casse is a little too big, even if rotated a bit. So, we "minis" are stuck with 2x1 it seems ;)

Had the same issue, changing Horizontal Expansion to -0.1 and initial layer horizontal expansion to -0.15 on 0.2 quality fixed the problem for me
