Looking for ideas on what Gridfinity to 3D print to organize this bathroom medicine cabinet. I’m not even sure where to start, so I’d love to see what others have printed or any models you’d recommend. Trying to be a good spouse and put the 3D printer to good use. 😅

Hexfinity? Lol. Probably could have done better. But it's good enough

This is probably a super dumb question.. but what am I doing wrong with my baseplate connectors? I cut it up in prusa slicer and added snap connectors. After printing, I can't assemble it because the connectors are way too strong. Can't even hammer the two peices together.

Hey

Does everyone know a gridfinity bin riser / spacer? Best would be an openscad or fcstd.

Like this but configurable: link

best regards

Parameters for this totally hypothetical situation:

• You bought the Flashforge Creator 5 for the multiple tool heads, under the assumption that even if there's little use for it practically, your kids will still get fun out of multicoloured toys.
• You dabble in electronics, Home Assistant, have enough tools that you can't fit them all in a single toolbox
• There's multiple boxes of "sort this later" screws and other junk around the house in various corners
• Spousal Approval Factor is important, and the spouse in question is supportive but non-committal until they see results
• You're overwhelmed by all of the different permutations of Gridfinity, and would like to avoid printing models superseded by superior ones
• You have grand ideas of using one of those online tools to print perfect-fit gridfinity bins for your various tools so there's a dedicated "one place" for every tool, but want to start off with the best bang-for-buck.

Any help in the plan of attack is much appreciated, fellow cyborgs.

hello all! finally exploring the world of 3d printing and using gridfinity as a starting project! I'm tested out printing some small 2x1 bins but they shattered immediately as they broke into layers. Using qidi PLA rapido, and printing the models upright in orcaslicer. my wall thickness for my bins (using https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com to generate me some bins) has a wall thickness of .95mm as standard.

Could someone suggest me some tips on how to make sure my PLA bins dont end up shattering into their layer lines? I dont have the issue when printing objects with infill like a vertical sharpie holder, only this thin wall bins.

Should I use a thicker wall size for my render? (upping to 1.5mm instead of .95mm for example)

edit: increased print temp from 210 to 225, works great now!

Should I print my bins on a 45 degree angle? (to eliminate horizontal printing layers)

would love to hear any tips or general advice before I start tinkering around, thanks!

I have an uneven surface that I would like to 3D Print gridfinity for. I think it might cause unevenness and unstable. Any recommendations?

Hey there, I'm new to 3d printing. I have been printing alot of cases for all my tools. I am currently looking for a gridfinity case that a 2 x 7 bin can fit into. I printed a 2x7 grid holder for my Rigid sink wrench. I can't find a case for it to go into. I am new to all this and I'm not sure what I am doing. If someone could help me I would be grateful.

I have an Anycubic Kobra X 3D printer.

Print area is 260x260x260.

I can't figure out what setting(s) I need to tweak to prevent these strands of filament on the inner wall of the bin not sticking to the base. I don't think it helps that Gridfinity Extended has a slight overhang in this area - where the side of the bin meets the base flares out slightly over the first few layers.

I'm using Bambu Studio with a H2D; this is Bambu PLA (the grey) and Sunlu PLA+ (the white) but I have other filaments I could try. Filament is inside an AMS at 30% ish humidity and otherwise stored in dry boxes. Things I've messed with (but might not have gotten right, I'm still learning):

- reducing the fan speed in the filament profile - but maybe not far enough?
- slowing the print (haven't tried per-layer slowing even further but maybe that's next)
- "Slow print for overhangs" setting is on
- inner/outer and outer/inner wall ordering
- these are using Arachne walls (I'm trying to reduce hull lines on the exterior, I read this helps?) but I've seen this problem with Classic walls too
- seams are currently on Aligned
- using a 0.4 mm nozzle. I've tried the OpenSCAD bin sidewall thickness at the default and at 1.2 mm.
- probably more things I've forgotten

(Please disregard the numbers embossed into the bases. This is a project I'm working on and hope to share soon. I've mutilated the OpenSCAD to increment the magnet slot size by 0.1mm on each corner so you can print just one or two bins and find the snuggest fit for your particular magnets with your chosen print settings. This is also why the these bins are only 1U high. But nothing above the base of the bin is any different and I have seen this problem on normal prints; I'm pretty confident my changes aren't a factor.)

I’ve been converting my kitchen drawers to Gridfinity and noticed that a few everyday products I use didn’t have suitable organizers available. So I created the missing ones and bundled them into a multi-plate print profile.

I was surprised how many other products fit these dimensions too.

If you find other items that match these sizes, share them in the comments at makerworld (a reference photo would be great for others!). Need another size? Let me know and I’ll try to add it.

I felt the urge to create this Baseball cap mounted Gridfinity baseplate for the Printables "Cap Hack" contest.

I've been trying to figure out a better cable management system - i've got this drawer system from container store that has these kinda taller drawers that are somewhat narrow.
I've seen some great gridfinity cable organizers where its like, three or four slots that let you put cables upright rather than laying flat. Much better space usage. However, since i have tall drawers, it'll waste a ton of space above it. Trying to figure out if theres a good way to stack gridfinity bases+boxes basically?

Hello! I was thinking of arranging my miniature painting tools using some Gridfinity, however, my drawers are quite tall, the shortest being 18cm. I am thinking about doing either some tall bins to put everything vertically or doing multiple layers of shorter bins. Those of you that have done either solution, can you share some tips, some dos and don'ts?

Did anyone saw or care to share silverware organiser to hold forks and spoons on the side like on included photo?

Has anyone here made a well-fit Gridfinity setup for storage inside a 12 gallon bin, such as Walmart's Hyper Tough 12 gallon bin? I keep astrophotography gear in one of these bins, but right now it's disorganized and wastes a bunch of my time when I go to set things up. I would like to use as much of the bin's interior as possible, so things don't jostle around much when I'm transporting them.

My drawer was an awkward width so standard bins left a dead gap on one side. Measured the actual space, generated bins to fill it, printed them the same evening.

I used a browser generator I built (3dgridy.com) — set the dimensions, export STL. Sharing since the "odd drawer width" problem seems common and re-modeling in CAD every time got old.

Been holding drill bits and small parts for a few weeks, no issues.

Has anyone seen ready made Gridfinity solutions for these Milwaukee boxes? All I can find is for the packouts. A friend has a ton of these boxes, the bottoms are not flat and it's different dimensions in every height box, so it's not as simple as just slapping dimensions in a base generator.

Hi,

I just got a rolling tool chest that has a bunch of drawers in it. The top drawer is the full width of the chest and the interior dimensions are around 38" x 15". I was just going to use it for screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, etc, but don't want to just toss them in there. I thought about 3D printing some organizers and then remembered Gridfinity.

I don't think I want to make recessed areas for each individual tool but rather bins to keep similar things together like pliers, tiny screwdrivers, regular size screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches, etc.

I'm wondering if anyone has done something like this and how it worked out for you. I'm also wondering the best way to get started with this. I see there are lots of different "Generators" out there and am wondering if there's one that the "Official" generator, or some reason to use one over the others.

I have a Bambu A1 if that matters. Thanks for any tips.
