After I made the small hook, I still had the same problem.
The back wall of my hutch had usable space, but most of it was still empty. I had a few small things I used all the time, and I wanted them where I could see them.
Pens. Markers. Small tools. My usual 6 inch wrench. A screwdriver I reach for often.
That stuff does not need to be buried in a drawer. It also should not sit loose on the hutch surface where it gets pushed around, knocked over, or covered by whatever job you are working on.
So I made a bin.
The Single Compartment Bin was the second product I designed for my hutch setup. Like the small hook, it started as something I wanted for my own workspace first.
Made for everyday work items
I made this bin for EDC-style shop items.
Not pocket dump gear. Not random clutter. I mean the small tools and supplies you use all day and want within reach.
For me, that meant pens, markers, a 6 inch wrench, and a screwdriver. Your setup may be different, but the point is the same. This bin gives your common small items a home on the hutch wall instead of stealing drawer space or laying loose on the bench.
It is simple storage, but it solves a real problem.
When you are working, the tools you grab most often should not be hard to find.
Designed around the US General Series 3 hutch
I designed this bin around the US General Series 3 hutch slotted pegboard.
The ICON hutch and ICON locker use the same style of slotted board, so this bin also fits those setups. It mounts directly into the slotted pegboard. This single compartment bin is its own part. It mounts to the board by itself.
No drilling. No standard pegboard hardware.
Just a bin made for the slotted board.
Why a bin made sense next
A hook is good for anything that hangs.
A bin is better for the stuff that does not.
That is why this became the second product. Once the hook proved the slot fit worked, the next problem was loose items. Pens and markers roll. Small tools get buried. Short screwdrivers, picks, small pry tools, and similar items need somewhere to land.
A single compartment bin keeps that kind of stuff together without making the hutch feel crowded.
It gives you useful open storage without turning the hutch wall into a bulky catch-all.
Better for small loose items than the factory bin
The hutch already comes with a few useful pieces.
The screwdriver holder has its place. The folder style bin has its place too. But neither one solved this specific problem for me.
I wanted something smaller. Cleaner. Easier to place. Better for the loose items I use often.
The folder style bin is larger and more general. This single compartment bin is more focused. It gives you a compact spot for pens, markers, and small hand tools without taking over the whole back wall.
That is the difference.
It is not trying to replace every hutch accessory. It is meant to fill a gap that was missing from the setup.
Printed in PETG for functional use
I print this bin in PETG.
PETG is a better fit than PLA for functional shop parts. It is generally tougher, more flexible, and better with heat. That matters in a garage, shop, or toolbox hutch where parts may see warmer conditions and daily use.
PLA can work for plenty of prints, but I do not like it as much for parts that are meant to be used this way. It can be more rigid and more brittle over time.
PETG gives this bin a better balance for real storage use.
It is still a 3D printed part. Do not treat it like a steel tray. Use it for the kind of light tools and small items it was made for, and it does its job without taking up much space.
Good uses for the single compartment bin
This bin works best for everyday items you want to grab fast.
Pens and markers.
Screwdrivers.
A 6 inch wrench.
Picks or pry tools.
Brushes.
Measuring tools that fit.
Shop items that normally roll around or disappear in a drawer.
The goal is not to load it with everything you own. The goal is to keep your usual tools and supplies in one visible spot.
That is what makes it useful.
Part of a growing hutch accessory system
Most of my products start the same way.
I buy something for my own setup, run into a problem, and make a part to fix it. If the part works and I think other people are dealing with the same problem, I offer it for sale.
The small hook was the first step.
This bin was the second.
Both came from the same issue. The slotted board on the hutch has a lot of potential, but there are not many hutch accessories made for it. I wanted to use that space instead of leaving it empty.
That is why this product exists.
