  • Use the Part Design workbench (you probably are already, but no one’s said it yet). Sketch a rectangle for the top of the whole tray, not the surface. Pad it down 40mm. Add a draft to set the angle of the sides. Use the thickness tool to dig out the middle of the top face - to a thickness of your exact choosing, which will be consistent everywhere. Now you have a trapezoidal bin.

    Then how do you make the separators. Um, draw a sketch with the tee on the inside bottom and pad it… and then the separators don’t reach the angled side walls. Oo, how about this: on the inside bottom, draw a sketch of the small square of material at the junction of the tee, and pad this tiny pillar up to the top of the tray. Then start a sketch on a side wall, External Geometry the near sides of the pillar in, and they’ll be projected onto the angled side wall. Then loft the two rectangles together. Yeah? Yeah? No. That didn’t work. The projection was normal to the angled wall, not to the side of the pillar.

    HAHAHA ok. Select a side of the pillar. Pad it, select Up to Face, and pick the angled inside . Presto!

    Then stick the lip on top and the grippy bit and that.

    I hope this was helpful and entertaining.
