These modified divider bins have one wall replaced with a glass microscope slide! Glass is more scratch-resistant than acrylic, and microscope slides come pre-cut to size.
Each bin is made of two parts, the Compartment and the Faceplate. You'll also need:
- 1x3" Microscope slides: https://amzn.to/3O6qjBO
- 2mm Repair Tape: https://amzn.to/3M1D9zF
How to assemble:
- Apply two strips of tape to the microscope slides, touching the short edges.
- Stick that slide to the faceplate.
- Apply two strips of tape down the short sides of the faceplate, over the glass.
- Apply a third strip along the bottom. It will curl a little around the bottom.
- Slap that crap onto the divider bins. Press hard.
These are perfect for storing small parts, especially if you plan to stack 'em up. The big window makes it easy to check what's inside and monitor your supply levels.
The inner surface has a generous scoop to make retrieving parts easy, and the tab fits 12mm label-maker tape.
I've provided a selection of different divider counts, to give you OPTIONS! Because microscope slides are only available in one size, only 2-unit-wide bins are possible.
Brims and support are not required, and these can be printed in any filament with an 0.6mm or smaller nozzle.
Gridfinity Tips!
- All storage blocks are compatible with all baseplates!
- Most storage blocks are stackable!
- You can add 6x2mm magnets to the corners! They won't magnetize the contents.
- You can also use M3 screws in the corners.
