Screw storage for 3D prints. Still need to extend for more stuff.

THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!

Nice! I'm looking for a label maker for a similar setup. What do you recommend?
-
This is what I'm using. It's alright. Does the job. It's cheap and you use an app to make the labels. The app is ok enough, it's kind of a pain to actually customize too much, but there are quite a bit of customization options. I think I would rather have just a Brother label maker that's not using an app though, but I can't complain for the price of this one.
-
This is what I'm using as a general label maker and like it. It can be a bit wasteful of tape, but all of them are and the tape is cheap enough too so I don't fret.

In the production and service department, we've basically a whole wall of screws, nuts, bolts, washers, distance thingies, and other installation material like that. Big plus: I don't have to maintain it, I can just take what I need.

Years ago i maintained our shop benchstock when I was in the military. Millions of dollars worth of hardware for aircraft weapons systems stuff. Would love to have that setup at home, lol.

Look at the European, having to only stock metric screw sizes, so lucky. Kidding!
\ I'm definitely going to try this out. Looks great!-
Lol not European at all. All the standard stuff is out in the garage. This is just my 3D printer workbench.

Organising random screws, bolts & nuts drives me crazy. I make things worse for myself because whenever I dismantle anything I normally salvage the metal pieces out of it.
-
It gets worse when I start trying to organize them by material and head shape as well.
Do I keep the identical ones together? Sure there are only 5 of them, but does that need it's own bin or baggie? I go back and forth, sometimes I'll organize them separately and then a month or two later I'll think that's crazy and combine them. Then I'll look for a few identical screws and decide I should separate them again. The most minor differences in screws in the same project will annoy me so much.
It's a futile project and it drives me insane.

Thought this was a Minecraft screenshot from the thumbnail!

What are you printing so much of that requires a nuts and bolts drawer? I want in!
-
Haha. Not a whole lot. Mostly used them on the enclosures and dryboxes.

I initially read your title as being fed up with storing your 3D prints, but this is more helpful
Haha, I didn't even notice til you said that and I reread it.
Same here! Was pretty confused tbh 😄
