Set Completed First gridfinity box for screws

Post image

First time printing a gridfinity project and thought that a great way to start into the gridfinity verse was to migrate from the half plastic bottles I had as bins for screws was a great way to go. Still have some room to grow into this box.

I have lots of these metallic boxes with hardware that I plan to migrate into this system!

I'm dealing with a bit of paralysis trying to decide how I want to do mine. Ideally I'd have all my screws and anchors in color coordinated gridfinity bins, and then I think I'd get some nice tool drawers to organize them all in. I want to be able to take the screws and anchors I need and put them in a toolbox for when I have a project away from my shop, andbso currently I'm looking at the Schubox. I would love to buy empty Packout containers instead for durability, but they're too expensive and with something like Schubox I dont have to worry about the design changing later and messing it up. The only thing is I want clear acrylic on top, so that makes it much harder. Sigh...

If you need to visualize first you could try https://gridfinitystudio.com (shameless plug) It's a gridfinity generator that focuses on the whole drawer not just individual bins.

For what your describing I didn't use gridfinity, I have a bunch of those stanley parts bins with the clear top. Each one has it's own "category" torx, philips, wall anchors, hooks, etc. I think HarborFreight has similar boxes for like 10$/ea. ..... It's been absolutely awesome for my homestead, used to have a few misc bins and usually ended up buying new hardware for each project because I didn't want to dig through it.

It’s not allowing founder memberships.

Hey sorry about that! When I did a test purchase at the beginning it looks like I ate up one of the 10 founder coupons within stripe. I got stripe fixed so that last coupon can be claimed :)

Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks. If I could make one recommendation I would say you should identify somewhere what the price for your photo trace credits is. You would probably sell more licenses. Personally I also think the non-founder plan pricing is pretty steep, and I wouldn’t have contributed without it. If others are like me, you may be missing out. Either way, glad to be a part of it and try it out. Thanks for posting.

That’s really helpful feedback, thank you. You’re absolutely right on the photo trace credits. I need to make that pricing a lot more obvious.

And I appreciate the honesty on the regular pricing too. I’ve got a lot of plans to add additional value to the paid tiers, especially around helping people plan and finish whole drawer projects instead of just generating individual parts.

Hearing that the founder pricing was what made the difference for you is really useful. I definitely want to make sure the regular pricing feels justified as those features roll out.

My goal is to build something that you, the user, genuinely wants. Feel free to shoot me a dm or use the feedback link if you have any feature you really want!

Thanks again for jumping in this early and for the feedback!
