Gridfinity Bin Label

A swappable bin label compatible with Cullenect-style label sockets, sized for Gridfinity bins. Each label has two text fields and two icon fields that can be combined freely to identify the bin contents (screw size, head type, thread pitch, etc.). Adapted from the Cullenect Labels source.

Pre-rendered STLs are available in the labels/ folder.

Examples

	Configuration
	Text1="M5*8" · Symbol1="side_pan" · Symbol2="hex_rounded"

	Text1="M3*12" · Symbol1="side_button" · Symbol2="torx"
	Text1="M6" · Symbol1="none" · Symbol2="hex_flat"
	Text1="M5*10" · Symbol1="side_pan" · Symbol2="bit_hex"
	Text1="M4*25" · Symbol1="side_flat" · Symbol2="bit_phillips"
	Text1="M3*16" · Symbol1="side_button" · Symbol2="bit_torx"
	Text1="M8" · Symbol1="none" · Symbol2="bit_pozidriv"

Output

Select_Output chooses what the SCAD generates:

Value	Output
0	The label itself (default)
10	A socket test fit (for verifying socket dimensions on a printed receiver)
11	The negative volume of the socket (for embedding into another model)

Label Geometry

Parameter	Default	Description
label_width	1	Width in Gridfinity units (1 = 36 mm × 11 mm)
backward_compatible	true	Generate V1-style latches for 1U labels (compatible with the original Cullenect socket)
label_deboss	false	If true, text and symbols are subtracted from the label face instead of raised
gridfinity	true	Use Gridfinity sizing. Set to false to drive size from labelXmm/labelYmm/labelZmm
labelXmm	36 mm	Custom label width when gridfinity is false
labelYmm	11 mm	Custom label height when gridfinity is false
labelZmm	1.2 mm	Custom label thickness when gridfinity is false

Text 1 / Text 2

Each text slot is independent. Text2 defaults to empty so single-line labels just use Text1.

Parameter	Default	Description
Text{N}	"M5*8" / ""	Label text
Text{N}_Align	center / right	Horizontal alignment within the label
Text{N}_Font_Size	4 mm	Font size
Text{N}_Font	Open Sans	Font family
Text{N}_Font_Style	Bold	Font weight/style
Text{N}_XY	[0,0] / [-2,0]	Fine X/Y offset on top of the alignment anchor

Symbol 1 / Symbol 2

Two independent symbol slots that render alongside the text (not in place of it). Useful for combining a head/drive shape, a side-profile silhouette, a washer ring, or a hex nut with the size text on the same label. Set Symbol{N} to none to omit a slot. The full icon catalogue lives in ../lib/label-decorations/README.md.

Parameter	Default	Description
Symbol{N}	side_pan / hex_rounded	Symbol shape (see catalogue)
Symbol{N}_Align	left / right	Horizontal alignment within the label
Symbol{N}_Size	7 mm	Symbol diameter (bounding box)
Symbol{N}_Stroke	1 mm	Stroke thickness for symbol details (cross arms, slot, star arms, etc.)
Symbol{N}_XY	[1,0] / [-2,0]	Fine X/Y offset on top of the alignment anchor
