This is a complete remodel of [Small storage system](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1493275) by CaptainObvious. I loved the original screw boxes, but I'm always paranoid handling them, as the catch doesn't keep it closed very tight. So this version includes a slide-lock to keep the box securely closed.
The slide-locks in this design are basically a pair of dovetail joints. The tapered slides keep the slide from falling off even with the lid open. They can come free, but they are simple to re-attach.
See the original thing posting for the bins, which are fully compatible with this version of the box. Though I also remodelled the bins in my OnShape documents, it didn't seem necessary to post them as I made no changes to the design.
As with the original, the box sizes are a grid system based on 38mm sections. I've uploaded most of the compatible box sizes that were included in the original. In this version, the width can only go down to a width of 3 units for the front/back, as any narrower doesn't leave room to install the slide locks from the middle without changing the size of the slides.
As the original did not include CAD files, I used the STL as a reference and go as close as I could. This re-modelled version is available on [OnShape](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ea545e1a3afe1e20555a82ce/). The model is heavily parameterized, but not all parameters are reasonable to change. To get the variety of sizes in the STL attached, only "UnitWidth" and…
