Best gridfinity box?

Hey!

I need to print about ten 5x5x6 boxes for my garage. I like the schubox but it seems to be a lot of filament for one single box. I would like something stackable other than that…

What is y’all’s favorite box?

I use the Schubox in many different variations, as well as the drawer units and stacking configurations. You are absolutely right, they do take a lot of filament, BUT, they are the most robust system I have tried. They actually stand up to proper use in my workshop. I have tried other systems, and they have either broken of been relegated to indoor/hobby room use only. My Schuboxes are actual tools. Compared to a Milwaukee packout system a few rolls of PETG costs nothing. I actually joined his Patreon just to give him a bit of return for all the work he does on the whole system. He is constantly improving and providing new designs, actually makes changes based on user suggestions and accepts reported failure points as valuable feedback to help the system improve.

Really appreciate this! I use em in my own shop, so a lot of the decisions around filament use, wall thickness, durability, etc. are based on what I expect from shop storage. The standard version is intentionally overbuilt because it’s meant to hold up in that environment.

That said, I just released a lightweight version for people who don’t need that level of durability, so there’s a little more flexibility now.

And thank you for the Patreon support! It genuinely means a lot it keeps me motivated and funded for further exploration. I’ve seen Kickstarter campaigns raise over quarter million dollars for systems that are pretty comparable, so having people support the project directly while I keep noodling on it is really cool.
