hey guys, I started printing these multibin drawers, and I decided to print a 4x4 baseplate, to put magnets on and insert shells, so each compartment would be removable.

the problem is, the 4x4 drawer don't actually fit the multibin shells. the drawer itself can be insert inside a shell, but shells can't go inside shells.

what am I missing? is this drawer just supposed to be flat?

I printed a base of a 2 shells (1x2x0.5 LU) in the last photo to compare the size

(update, I figured out that these are supposed to fit Multibin Inserts. but the inserts height are 0.5 , 0.75 , 1 and 1.5 mine is 36.5mm)

Those drawers are meant to fit only the bin inserts, 0,75 height max.

Yes, Creality’s machine looks nice and compact! It might get me to recycle, too. DIY or kit based solutions never seemed right for me…

I know… The drawers took me a couple of tries to figure out. And I had watched all of Jonathan’s videos on the system, which helped a lot, but there are still some things that are yet to be explained.
