Labels/dividers are too high for stacking #92

Open lutorm opened 3 months ago

lutorm commented 3 months ago

If you generate a bin with stackable lip and a label or dividers, the latter are too high for another bin to stack into it. Rather than rest on the lip. the bin on top will rest on the label or dividers and not be stable. See picture below.

The height from the bottom of the bin up to the highest point of the chamfer is 4.75mm. The top of the bin/label is currently generated at a height of 4.3mm below the top of the lip. In order to not interfere with a stacked bin it probably needs to be at least 5mm below, so 0.7mm lower than currently.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. It looks like this has been raised before https://github.com/Le0Michine/FusionGridfinityGenerator/issues/20, after some testing the clearance was set to extra 0.5mm comparing to what it was before. I wonder if curled overhangs on the picture could be part of the problem, it seems line the seam on the corner could also be a contributing to that.

That is expected behavior if you look at the interference of two bins you will see that it first would engage with stacking lips before touching the label tab

Thanks for responding, I had not seen the other ticket. I agree the print quality on those bins in the picture was bad, but on the other hand the tolerance there looks smaller than the tolerance on the stacking chamfers themselves, so I think being a bit more generous would be good. Maybe use the same clearance config as for the chamfers there so it's self-adjusting to different tolerances? There's also a definite tendency of bins to sag a bit when stacked since the chamfers mean that loading something on top bends the sides outward, especially for long bins.

For the label specifically it would also be nice to have some extra margin so there's space for embossing text on the top without catching on the next tray.
