Finally got around to printing a bunch of lid holders and got everything nice and neat. Some missing because they are in use. Also you can see my printed spice rack.
Looks good, would do the same just need matching dishware first.
Good idea there. I shoved all my lids in a drawer and stacked my containers in the cupboard. But my sister has a million mugs and bottles, I dont know where to put all this stuff lol
I’ve tried all kinds of ways to organize. My mom just has a big tub with all kinds of lids of every size and shape and I can’t stand trying to match so I try to make sure I have a bunch of matching stuff. I was using a drawer last time, but it just wasn’t working. So when I had some extra cash, I replaced all my stuff to just various sized pyrex and a few of these rubbermaid kits and I love it.
I just stack the tubs on top of the matching lids.
But then we don’t have that many tubs either.
Looking at your photo has helped me realize that I should be using lid organizers. Do you like the ones you have?
Edit: was just surfing /all and I didn’t even realize I was in 3d printing. Heh. I’m still curious if you have a review of them. ♡
Ha, yes, this is the one I printed. I didn’t need them so tall and they use a lot of filament so I cut off the bottoms mostly and they are perfect sizes for all my lids. The only thing I should have done is brought them into Fusion 360 and added more slots instead of printing a bunch of holders of 5 only. But it’s not really an issue. It takes up a bit more space, but I love having everything in one place and nothing is falling over or sliding around.
Very nice! I have the same locking Rubbermaid lids and I use an accoridian stainless plate holder for them. It works quite well, but this looks even a little bit better and is a perfect unnecessary 3d printing project to add to my list. Assume the medium lids (second shelf down on left) are with the regular stl, not the “big” one? Assume PLA for this? Doesn’t really need to be PETG does it? Agree no supports needed? 15% infill?
Oh yes, almost nothing I print is “necessary” but I love problem solving with printing. Can you link the accordion holder. Having trouble visualizing it.
Yes the big STL is only the top shelf. I love those locking lid containers, I end up using those instead of ziplock bags because they are so nice.
I used Polymaker white PLA and with cutting off the bottom, it’s all solid inside since it’s all so thin, so infill doesn’t matter. No supports.
Absolutely gorgeous home organization, man!
(There doesn’t happen to be a home organization part of the Fediverse, is there?)
Thank you. There is now! On your idea, I created !homeorganization@lemmy.world. Will post this and hopefully it blows up
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !homeorganization@lemmy.world
Can you rotate them 90° and get a ton of functional space back in your cabinets? Seems like pretty inefficient use of space currently. Very tidy, regardless.
Yes, each one holds 5. I did try them the other way but it was a pain to get the lids out because you had to raise them so high. But I prefer this way. I’m usually a fuction over form type person but for this I just love being able to see it all so neat and tidy.
