Well, we do have:

Introducing the Carbide 3D Print Library

With a significant number of makers out there owning a Shapeoko, Nomad and a 3D printer, we wanted to set up a place where users could get spare parts if in a bind as well as to be able to share concepts we’ve been playing with which would be suited to 3D printing. We have about 50 models, from Active Project Tray to Z Clamps. We have more ideas and files in the works, but we thought this would be a good starting point. Generally speaking, these models should be printable on most 3D printers.…

and of course, Gridfinity:

For my part, I’ve been using various purchased plastic organizers:

I’ve been using and had pretty much standardized on: which work well enough, but unfortunately, aren’t available in a version which has a front-back orientation for the molded in dividers, which I think would work better for the sort of things I’ve been storin…

It can be anything from individual bricks (minuscule ones made on your Nomad or gigantic ones made on your XXL?), to objects assembled from bricks you would mill, to a 2.5D carve of a Lego model (two-sided Lego Millenium…
