I have some tools that are seldom used and perfect for storing in stacks.
As the application currently works, to make them stack-able, I would have to increase the bin height and the cutout depth until the entire tool is buried in the cutout. This has two downsides:
- It uses a lot more filament to print the bin
- It actually makes the tool harder to remove from the cutout.
What I'd like to do is keep the bin very shallow with the cutout depth approximately 1/2 the depth of the tool itself. Then extend the stacking lip, and ONLY the lip, up high enough to contain the tool for stacking.
I think this is fairly straightforward and I'll make an attempt at implementing it. One question:
Should the configurable lip height be expressed in mm (maximum flexibility) or gridfinity units (maximum compatibility?
I'm leaning toward configuration by units.
