Storage for the accumulation of router bits

Anyone got some bright ideas about storing the many router bits I am accumulating that are not in their small container’s like say the carbide create.ones.
Any thoughts would really be appreciated.

FWIW, I currently keep tooling in the small containers where possible, then organize them using larger storage cases:

I’ve been considering using Gridfinity:

with the small “meme” toolboxes such as:

Note that Lowe’s has a 3-drawer base-unit:

Do you want them to be in the small containers?

Do you want them organized / stored laying down or standing up?

Do you want them stored in groups by function and /or size in a single tray?

Do you want to have a small group of “regulars” at the ready, and then “the rest” stored a bit further away?

Will that’s what I have been doing but I am now accumulating some that are in all sorts of odd packaging.I guess if I get some containers like the carbide create bits come in would ease the rubble of them I need to als keep them well identified.

In case folks need more convincing there is the earlier:

IMO depends on what you have and use. I do not have a 3D printer, but still some leftovers from plywood furniture.
So I made this:
bit tray.c2d (380 KB)
can be adjusted as needed, and even a cabinet with these trays appears possible.

The containers are available at sites like this:

I got some, m,aybe another company, was certainly not Amazon, don’t know whether they are really necessary with such a tray.
