I am very impressed with various options you have shared, yesterday I was gungho for a mobile tool trolley, but after working out that 300-450mm high drawers wont hold mass produced storage trays to hold screws, NAILS, , joiners etc etc unless I make them it was back to square 1. So the Tactix trays win out
The trouble with tool trolleys although you can store everything in them the drawers are too shallow for plastic insert trays so then you have to make your own.
will see how we go, got to find the correct trays now as local Bunnies dont stock them.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

I recently moved house and had my (downsized) collection of screws and
nailsother connectors in little boxes stacked up in one big plastic crate. After having to deep dive through the crate a couple of times already and not being able to find a plan cabinet abandoned in a dumpster to organize things I went out and bought this from Ikea.
The flat pack packaging weighed 34kg and I had trouble getting it out of the pick location. (It really needs one of Bernmc's 2 people pooing stickers.) A couple of hours to assemble. The drawer runners are metal and the drawer bottoms reinforced. All loaded up now with my collection and seems to be going to work well.

A lot of storage in a smallish footprint.Franklin

If you're a Fusion 360 user, these boxes are parametric (based on the original in Chris' video above). So you can customise them to whatever drawer size you're using.

But. 3d printing is SLOW! So off the shelf off mass-produced wood is still quickest

3D printing may be slow but it's no real impost on my own time, just checked and I can print 6 x 50x50x 60h bins in 12hrs, but printed overnight i would get 42 min to 70+ done a week. need to print some more for the new drawers once the printer is back up and running .... my larger printer is faster and would be able to turn out 100+ in the week ... just how many trays can you use

I printed these from the parametric F360 design out as a trial:
98x98 print.jpg
11:30 print time.
They're 98x98x69mm, the slightly odd dimensions that our fine German Festool fellows decided on. I'm not sure why... anyway, I thought I'd churn out boxes that match the Festool sizes so they can play nicely together if necessary:

They fit my drawers pretty well, and I really like the little pick-up tag which also holds a label.

So, a few more nights of rattling to endure.
For the record, Festool sizes are:
Red 49 x 49
Blue 98 x 98
Yellow 49 x 98
Green 98 x 147
Orange 49 x 245
Height 69mm, or 71mm with feet

Interested in what 3D printer you are using. I’ve been looking at CNC or 3D printers and I came across MPCNC. Maybe I can have both

I just threw out most of the parts for a MPCNC that I had printed a few years back, just never got around to building it. Great idea but ultimately it's a not really solid enough for a CNC or even a decent speed 3D printer in my own opinion.
A large CoreXY is on my radar with a 500x400 build area, but it's still in the planning stages.

I would want a decent 3D printer to amongst printing lots of bits and pieces, print me components to build a MPCNC fitted with a Makita trim router. I don’t want to print a 3D printer. While the MPCNC may not be a industrial CNC, reports I’ve read seem to suggest it would be a cheap introduction as I have lots of the electronics, steppers etc already..
Re the Corexy , while it’s a fast 3D printer, it apparently is very sensitive to belt adjustments which can prove to be problematic

There's only one choice for a 3D printer - The Prusa Mk3S+. I bought the kit and put it together over a week of evenings. Added a raspberry pi zero to run octoprint so it can be controlled remotely.
Prusa do the printer, electronics, firmware and slicer - so everything works like it should as they have complete control. Service is excellent. I bought a very early version on the Mk3, and over the next year or so received several updated bits (like the textured print bed) for nothing. When they upgrade bits, they make the updates available to everyone, with the option of buying the new 3D-printed bits from them, or printing them yourself for nothing.
It's a long way from the endless tinkering most cheaper 3D printers need to keep them going and printing properly.
Story here: The Road to 100,000 Original Prusa 3D printers - YouTube . In the background of many scenes and pics on the about pages, you'll see that their factory consists of many many of the same Mk3's churning out more mark 3's - ie it's good enough to work in a production environment.

Prusa is the go, it has never given us any problems at all. As for boxes for storage I build them out of 3mm MDF and it takes about three minutes per box using super glue. It is a 32mm system that Fencefurniture developed a few years ago and he did a thread about it including a spreadsheet so a search will dig it out of the archives.
