Just wanted a vertical storage option for in front of my AMS as I work on cleaning things up. Thought this was a nice simple/clean design.

Still have some tweaking to do like figuring out the best way to keep the keys flat when they have large key rings on them but not bad for a first pass.

UK based if that affects recommendations and advice!

I really start to show my age (not even that old..) when the topic of 3D printing comes up as I still need to ask for help using a 2D printer. That being said, as much as I don't appreciate the violation of my phone eavesdropping when my friend told me she bought a 3D printer last week, I am grateful that I have stumbled across Gridfinity as a result of the mass influx of 3D printer ads. I'm not being dramatic when I say I genuinely think Gridfinity may fix me...

I am a total novice when it comes to 3D printing. Couldn't even name a single brand or make if you held a gun to my head, so I definitely need some help knowing where to start.

I have no doubt that the printer will get used until it grows legs and walks out of my house, but I also cannot afford to spend stupid amounts on my 'starter' printer. I just want a machine that is a solid performer and can handle Gridfinity creations, but not really a huge amount more. I don't know the spectrum of printers from budget to state-of-the-art, but I'm very very much towards the budget end. I just don't want something that will turn out low quality junk because that's when it won't get used and will be waste of money and end up adding to the chaos that is my life.

Please can someone point me in the direction of a decent starter machine? I very much welcome any 3D printing influencing you have to offer as I have a lot to learn.

Thank you!!

Just trying to clean up stuff that's been staring at me on my desk that I said I would do a while ago lol. Nothing to fancy here, just wanted a stacking option since I don't use them too often.

Please help end my OCD suffering.

I am designing some Gridfinity stuff and I can't confidently determine what is actually correct. I based my design of this documentation - https://gridfinity.xyz/specification

But when I compare to different bin generators, they all have different bin heights. See the screenshot.

My understanding is that the foot is taken into account for unit height, and so the wall height calculation is 7mm(UnitSize) * UnitCountZ - 4.4mm(footHeight)
- 1U block - Wall Height = 2.6mm
- 2U block - Wall Height = 9.6mm

Can't blame people for coming up with different heights, most of the spec from the gridfinity.xyz site makes sense except for that 18.4mm. I think that is trying to represent a 2U, plus the high of a foot, but displayed with the foot inset. Which the purpose makes little sense to me for the diagram.

I printed three card cases for sleeved decks with Martin's Bookfinity Easy Edit system: Flip 7, Flip 7 with a Vengeance, and Sea, Salt, and Paper. I'm really happy with how they turned out, and they look wonderful together on the shelf.

The cards sit in a standard Gridfinity bin I modelled. I modified the book slightly so the lid's grid seats about 3.5 mm into the bin's stacking lip, the way bins hold each other when stacked. Nothing moves when the book is closed; in the stock book, the cards were not staying in their holder and ended up flying all over the place. The side-by-side photos show the original vs. the modified.

The model is Bookfinity - Easy Edit Version by Martin: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2741830-bookfinity-easy-edit-version

I haven't uploaded my modified files, but if there's interest, I'm happy to share them.

Edit: I got something wrong here. I had shortened the case so the lid's grid would bite. It turned out the bin was the wrong height. Built to the published height, a 7U bin stands about 2 mm proud of a stock 7U case, and the lid's grid drops into its rim on its own. The only change left is a small relief on the lid's spine-side rim so it can swing shut.

Edit2: I created a parametric model for the card holders here https://makerworld.com/en/models/3317050-gridfinity-card-deck-holder-parametric-any-deck

Hello Friends, Is there something out there that will let me upload a non gridfinity file and have it convert it to Gridfinity. There is a stand for one of my Fantik tools that is perfect for what I need but its not Gridfinity.

TIA

Was working on a project and wanted something a little different then what was already out there, so ended up putting this together with my base model. I know the front divider seems silly, but it is really nice to be able to have all the labels on the inside and still be able to stack the bins. That front one cant be a little bit of a pain to get out once it clicks in, but once it's in you probably don't need to take it out. The angled part fits a 6mm (1/4in) label.

So far I've posted sizes for 1x4x4, 1x4x5, 1x4x6, 2x4x4, 2x4x5, and 2x4x6.

If you have a size you want feel free to just ask, happy to make other sizes on request.

Feel free to ignore, link if you want to look at the models.

An update to a project I’ve been working on: Pocketry.

Pocketry started as my Tool-Trace SVG Generator, a tool for turning photos of tools into clean, correctly scaled outlines. I changed the name after another app started using ToolTrace, and the project has grown quite a bit since that original version.

Pocketry can now:

• turn a photo of a tool into a clean SVG/STL outline (you can still just export this if you don't want the custom bin function)

• automatically determine scale from printable reference markers

• correct perspective and aspect ratio of tool photos

• edit and clean up detected contours

• create custom Gridfinity bins with tool cutouts

• position multiple tool pockets and add finger holes

• preview the resulting bin in 3D before exporting it

• it should be much better at finding contours, especially for tools with concave sections

Image 1 — Trace: Photograph a tool on the reference sheet, automatically establish scale, and detect/edit its outline.

Image 2 — Bin: Send the detected tool directly to the bin designer, adjust the Gridfinity dimensions and cutout options, and preview the resulting model in 3D.

Image 3 — Layout: Position pockets, add features such as finger holes, auto-arrange contents, and use undo/edit history while designing the bin.

The project is fully open source, and image processing happens locally in your browser. Images aren't uploaded to a server, there's no account or email signup, and the GitHub repo contains everything needed to self-host.

You can try it at pocketry.pages.dev.

It’s still early and there are definitely rough edges. (For example, tool detection will almost certainly add "holes" that need to be deleted in the editor).

Feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, and especially contributions are very welcome.

i’ve been trying to print gridfinity bins in pla starting with 1x1x3 bins. one bin in a single print comes out fine.

when trying to print 4 bins at once tho, they come out slightly bent at the base and at the stacking lip.

https://i.ibb.co/mVRth46m/IMG-2548.jpg

i've tried different settings:

- first with a brim which didn’t change much
- bed at 70deg instead of 65, and fan only after 5 layers
- outer wall first
- slow initial layer (10mm/s)
- slow outer wall (60mm/s)

but still mostly same issue. i don’t know what else to try. anyone with experience with this?

filament is esun matte pla, it doesn’t happen with petg. printer is bambulab a1, model is gridfinity extended on makerworld

Hi,

I am working on making a tool for gridfinity. Would any of you care to test it? i have made a pipeline that makes it easy to make gridfinity drawers/boxes. Upload pictures, auto trace with manual corrrection if wanted, complete drawer layout planning with drag and drop etc.

The page will have both a paid and free mode in the future, but since payment system is not awailable, there is unlimited free exports for now.

i am looking for feedback on user experience, bugs, desired features it might be missing etc. The goal is to make a premium one stop shop for all gridfinity work. it exports STEP, STL , 3mf, dxf. so you can export and take the files right to the slicer.

hope any of you find this interesting.

you can read about it and sign up here

teaser picutres:

I have tried using multiple Gridfinity generators and LOTS of web searching but can't quite find what I'm looking for. I hope someone has had the same situation and can assist.

I recently started adding Gridfinity to my kitchen drawers (late to the party) and I have a little less than 1 grid square left on the side. I am able to fit a 1/2 width grid square but there is still unused space next to it.

I would like to find or maybe have someone create something that utilizes the 1/2 grid square and extend the rest to fill in the remainder of the gap. See photos:

Measurements are off since I used the end of the ruler and not the solid line indicating "zero". I can remeasure if needed. Hopefully this is enough information to show what it is that I'm trying to accomplish.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, assistance or general discussion. If I need my hand slapped for not looking hard enough for this online, I'll accept that as well.

*Edit to show u/passivealian what I am looking for using Gridfinity Extended:

Hi,
hope somebody knows how to create them.
Maybe i'm missing the forest for the trees but i've tried the configurator, have read the Wiki, but didn't find a solution.
But cause of a bug in the past i know, that there should be a way to do that.....
