Update 3/9/2024: I designed a deeper version of the 4x4 version of the Gridfinity Box For Stuff, really just to see what it would look like since it was also suggested. This is a 12U deep version and has overall dimensions of 99.4mm tall and a footprint of 203x220mm. It's a bit chonky looking, but it's kind'a cool.
Update 3/10/2024: Well it didn't take as long as I thought, but putting together a profile for it did. I plan to print the chonky version, but uploaded both of them. They are still untested though, so if you print them, please provide some feedback.

I will import these into Makerworld soon.
Update 3/14/2024: There is a V3 coming soon. I got some feedback on Reddit about this box being a bit of a chonky thing, so I decided to put it on a diet. The V3 will be the same box, with walls that are a bit thinner and therefore quicker to print. I'm leaving this up until I get the V3 finalized and tested. It does not look much different, but the models below are about 5.5-7.5mm smaller in the X-Y. The only compromise was that I had to shorten the handle by a few mm to get it to fit. The labels however still fit and all the other parts are carried over from the other Gridfinity boxes. I'm going to print the 16 bin 12U version of these to test the design, and then they will be uploaded to Printables if they work out OK.
5% savings in filament
2% savings in time 790m vs 777m
In the image below, the V2.1 is on the left and the V3 is on the right:
8% Savings in filament
9% savings in time (710m vs 777m)
V3.1 vs V2.1
12% Savings in filament
10% savings in time (710m vs 792m)
12% is a big improvement, and what I was looking for. But I'm still not sure I like it. The V3.1 design just looks sort'a plain to me. when I compare it with the V3.0.
Update 3/17/2024: I decided to take another crack at this case, since I felt that maybe some middle ground between the more efficient V3.1 and the better looking V3.0 could be found. What I think will be the final design is below. It's gonna be the V3.3 (don't ask about V3.2, it's still a mystery). Compared to the currently posted design, the V3.3 is a bit more efficient, and has several improvements to make the case easier to assemble. I'm also considering a version which will have two places for labels, instead of just one label on the lid.

7.5% Savings in filament
5% savings in time (753m vs 792m)
It's not a perfect compromise, but it's what I think works best. I plan to print the larger 12U tall version to test, with all the bells and whistles. Once I have it printed and tested, it will be posted to Printables and MakerWorld.
