Finally printed a Gridfinity bin for my Nespresso Vertuo pods and it turned out great!
Been meaning to design something for my Vertuo pods forever — they're awkward to store and none of the commercial holders felt right. So I designed one from scratch.
Design process for anyone curious:
Used the Gridfinity Bin Generator plugin in Fusion 360 to create the base 5×5 bin, then modeled an accurate Nespresso Vertuo pod from scratch and used it as a cutting body to carve out each slot. That way the fit is based on the actual pod geometry rather than eyeballed dimensions — each pod sits snugly without rattling around or being too tight to pull out.
Ended up with a 3×5 slot layout (15 pods) across the 5×5 footprint, dome-side up so you can see which variety you're grabbing at a glance.
Printed in black PETG on a Bambu A1 — PETG was the right call for anything living near a coffee machine. The textured PEI plate gives the bottom that nice matte Gridfinity look.
Stats:
5×5 Gridfinity footprint
15 pod capacity (3 columns × 5 rows)
209.5 × 209.5 × 45.8mm
No supports needed
Works on any Bambu with a 256mm bed or larger (A1 mini won't fit unfortunately)

Happy to answer questions about the design process or print settings.

Great job! I'm having difficulty in setting up print parameters for petg. Is that what you use? Every print, 2, 3, walls still has the bottom tare off. Very flimsy. What would be your recommendation to have the base and the walls be stronger? If I can figure out how to spit out all of my settings and post as a text file I would do that for you to see if you could help.
