I made a modular armtray table that can be adapted to your needs. It comes with three different types of plates (one of those Gridfinity) for two sizes of armrests. If you just want ot use it as a tray, theres side parts for that as well.

Alright, so while designing an armrest table for my woodworks line and including a Gridfinity plate (4x4) for max customization, I though of just creating wooden-looking bins along with it. Since some of your comments here encouraged me to do it, here's an update on what will become Woodfinity, a set of gridfinity plates and bins with a wooden aesthetic.
I havent been using structured surfaces for long, but what I've learned is that printers mess them up when you orient them at the top or bottom, be it ironing or no. Unfortunately, that leads to me having to keep the top surfaces smooth. I think it still looks great, but if you have any pointers how I could give those a structured look, too, that would be much appreciated.
For the first Woodfinity set I'm thinking of a 4x4 flowy, wooden Baseplate to use as an organizer base at your desktop or in the hallway as a catchall. For now I have a little bowl (2x2), a can holder (2x2) and a rectangle cutout bin (4x2) that should fit an iPhone (not pro or max) or Pixel, or two slim remotes. Which other bins would be your first choice for this? Pen holder, just plain bins?
As much as I'm annoyed by all the "Day 1337 of convincing my wife to get a 3d printer" – as I'm the wife convincing my husband – creating more options of Gridfinity stuff that can second as a decor piece while maintaining the funcationality might get more people in the game. I loved what FireZ did with that colorful Bauhaus model, so this could go for a structured based style starting with wood, maybe stone would look good as well?
What do you think?
You can check out the wooden bins here, for now they are only part of the armrest table model. You can find them in the Gridfinity Add-ons folder.
Hi friends, I just made a modular couch armrest table for a contest on printables and of course one of the modules has a 4x4 gridfinity base plate grid with magnet cutouts so everyone can adapt their print even further. Now I‘m wondering whether I should add wood-structured bins as well or are you gonna yell at me for making something functional too pretty? Maybe a MagSafe charging thing? What would you want for a couch armrest table?
The whole model is made to fit on 220mm plates, so most printers will be able to print it. You can check it out here: https://www.printables.com/model/1674278-woodworks-couch-buddy-modular-wooden-armrest-couch
