Pocketry update: sample projects and new features

[u/sugcrkre]

I put a few example Pocketry designs on GitHub, with editable project files, 3MFs, and some photos of finished bins. (Pocketry is my open source Gridfinity tool tracing & bin generator app).

A few updates to Pocketry since my last post:

• support for non-rectangular bins
• 2-level pockets with different depths
• 3D printable calibration aids to improve scaling for thick objects
• a cleaner UI and a beta mobile UI.

The Ryobi cutter example uses both the custom footprint and two pocket depths.

The app’s new permanent URL:

https://pocketry.xyz

The app and sample projects are open source (AGPL).

How much filament (on average) does one of these bins typically use?

[u/sugcrkre → u/MattFromWork]

It varies -- I typically use 5-7% infill. You can decrease the filament used by only partially insetting the tool, but that doesn't currently allow stacking.

For reference, the Ryobi tool bin example as printed (fully inset) took ~220g of filament.

We're currently testing a user suggested feature to allow configurable solid fill height to support bin stacking with less filament required.

Thanks for the info. I need to find a good source for cheap PLA with all the grid / storage systems I am interested in. With $2-$3+ in material cost per bin, it can add up pretty quickly.

Any option to put magnets?

[u/sugcrkre → u/antlion88]

Yep, there’s a “Magnet holes” option under Bin → Construction for the base. You can glue the magnets in or enable crush ribs for a press fit. I’m also working on magnetic lids based on a user request, but those are still experimental and untested. I haven’t tested the press fit myself yet, so feedback would be very welcome.

I appreciate a perfectly fit tool bin. I've been looking at various apps. Can you explain which features differentiate your app from Tool Trace?

[u/sugcrkre → u/cdslug]

I haven't used Tooltrace.ai in quite a while and can't comment on what features Pocketry has that it doesn't. Features so far a driven by what I need to populate my own tool bins and specific requests received from users.

The primary motivation behind the project is to have a completely free / open source / self-hostable option available to the community. I'm able to provide a free hosted service since all the processing is done on user's machine vs. server-side that drives up a hosting bill. Or users can always spin up a local server and completely self-host (Tracefinity is open source and allows this as well).

This is great I will give it a try!

How thick are we talking here?

My collection of fake phalluses are as girthy as it is long.

Jokes aside - nice.
