honeycomb storage wall bin
Prompt that made this
Honeycomb Storage Wall bin, 3 cells wide and 3 rows tall, 50 mm deep, 1.6 mm walls, two rows of hex plugs, front wall lowered 18 mm with a smooth curve, 5 mm rounded front corners, no dividers. Put cells_x, cells_z, depth, front, dividers_x, corner, drain and scoop in the parameters, and a label choice, as on the other wall-system bins.

Why this one
Honeycomb walls are simple to print, and accessories are often simple too: a plug that pushes into a cell. Plenty of bins come in one or two sizes, though, so you end up fitting what you own around what's on offer. Here, you set the size first.
The plugs are 19.7 mm across flats for the 20 mm cells, with chamfered tips, and need no room above to fit. One cell across is two hex columns, about 41 mm, and two rows of plugs keep it square when it's full. Add dividers, a label or a pattern in the walls as you like.
How to print
PLA or PETG, 0.2 mm, 3 walls. Print it standing up, as it hangs. The hex plugs have chamfered tips, so they push into the cells without trimming.

Questions
- Will it fit my tiles?
- It's made for 20 mm cells with flats top and bottom, on rows 23.6 mm apart. Print a small one first if your tiles are from a different design.
- Are the plugs a tight fit?
- They're 19.7 mm across flats, a common clearance for HSW inserts. If your printer runs fat, a light sand is usually enough.
- Can I change the size?
- Yes. Sign up free, fork the part and scrub any size. Changing a size never spends a prompt.
- What file do I get?
- STL for the slicer and GLB for the browser. STEP is on Maker and Pro.
