About sortrs

sortrs are modular sorting containers for small parts: screws, resistors, beads, LEGO, the drawer of mystery hardware every workshop has. Every container is designed on the same grid, so any bin fits next to any other bin in a drawer, a tray, or a toolbox.

The grid

One grid unit is 32 mm (about 1¼ inch). A model's name tells you its size in units as width × length × height, so a 2 × 2 × 1 is 64 mm square and about 32 mm tall, and a 2 × 2 × 4 has the same footprint at the tallest of the four heights, about 119 mm (4.7 inches). Footprints run from 2 × 2 up to 10 × 10. Mix heights freely; the footprints always line up, and containers stack on each other.

Printing

The models are made for ordinary desktop FDM printers. PLA or PETG both work well. Where orientation, supports, or layer height matter, the model page carries print notes. The 10-wide sizes are 320 mm across and need a large-format bed.
