pathammer/dojo-recursive-bins

3d printable bin generator using blender geometry nodes

Dojo Bins were created to showcase unique methods of parametric modeling within Blender Geometry Nodes. The system takes simple data inputs like drawer size to output a unique layout of parametrically controlled bins that fill the space of the specified drawer.

FEATURES:

• Parametric input parameters
• Live Print preview with "Layers"* and animated print previewing
• red bins = too big to print, blue bins = printable

MODIFIER PARAMETERS:

• Drawer Size x, y, z, dimensions
• Bin Gap Size
• Bin Wall Thiccness
• Bin Fillet
• divide x
• divide y
• Bin Select Preview
• Print Layer Preview
• Make Exportable.

WISHLIST/KNOWN ISSUES:

• layers in print preview are not accurate to real print layers. ideally they'd be parametrically calibrated and result reflected in the preview
• Wall thickness to be constrained to factors related to print nozzle size so that wall thiccness = number of passes per layer
• alternative methods of controlling oversized bins
  • automatically dividing bins that go over size
  • locking the scale of the bins to a maximum edge length of ~200mm (or whatever print bed build envelope is specified)
• allowing print bed size to be an input value
• allowing print nozzle to be an input value
• print output to pack as many possible bins onto print plate as possible (instead of the current 1 bin output method)
• freeze/save output of bin layouts
• add bin gap size as modifier parameter
• some values are arbitrary. tie them back to real world units when possible.
• make stackable!
• wall mountable?? you mad men.
