Is there any tool to make it easy to define a gridfinity base for a drawer with cutout?

Yet another hand tool bin....

I used ShapeScan for this. To me this is the most accurate and easy to use AI outline scanner web app. It even has a gridfinity generator built in.

There are 3 different profiles for this bin. Regular, finger cutout, and mirrored.

Thanks for looking!

I got tired of keeping my nail polish in drawers and not really being able to see all of them at once, so I put together a set of shelves to let me have all of the bottles out, visible, and accessible.

Models used:

• BlackjackDuck's openGrid Tile Generator
• openGrid Adhesive Locking Wall Mount so I could use 3M COmmand Strips to attach it to the wall
• openGrid Gridfinity Infinite Shelves, 2×1 variant
• Gridfinity Extended; 6×1×3 bins with the “brickrotated” wall cutout pattern

I'm having this issue when generating grids where the baseplate grid sections are only 41.5mm instead of the 42mm shown on the gridfinity specifications page. Is this intended or am I missing something? I'm new to gridfinity and am looking to organize my toolbox so I'm hoping to fix issues now before I get too far into this project. Thanks for any help or advise.

Hi,

im currently 3D scanning some electronic objects - trying to optimize my workflow.

I'm on a Mac.

Current Workflow:

1. 3D Scan object -> Export mesh
2. import mehsh into meshmixer
3. solid fill in meshmixer -> export
4. Create a blank base on https://gridfinitygenerator.com/en/cutout
5. repair this stl on https://www.formware.co/onlinestlrepair
6. Import both to Bambu Studio
   1. Add Base
   2. Add negative object to base (import solid mesh)
   3. Add some additional negative primitive objects (put these in place visually)
   4. Print

This is quite a workflow. I've tried to do the import of both parts and cuts in Fusion - but I seem to crash it with the massive mesh files ;)

Subtracting the elements inside of bambu seems to be a workaround at best.

Is there a smoother way to do this?

Im fine in all things adobe but just staring out with 3d Scanning and fusion.

Thanks!

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.

I've released a separate Gridfinity version of my handy AA-AAA battery box. It comes in several sizes and shapes, and they all feature a sliding lid that locks securely into place.

Check it out 😊

Hi everyone,

About two weeks ago, I shared some teasers of the WaveGrid V2 drawer organizer. Now the project is finished and published on Makerworld. It provides the most frequently requested additions to the first version:

• Narrower trays 
• Stackable trays
• New Label Type

The system is still fully parametric via the MakerWorld customizer. Means, you can create and print the modules yourself, tailored exactly to your own requirements. However, there are also many pre-configured print profiles available.

Now I’m looking for 1-2 "Snap-on" toolbox owners for a specific project:

The WaveGrid system works great for my own setup, but in my hobby workshop, the possibilities are very limited. I’d like to design and test a setup for a more professional environment using a Snap-on toolbox.

The idea:

• You have a Snap-on box and a 3D printer.
• You give me the inner dimensions of your drawers and tell me what specific tools you want to organize.
• I will configure and generate the customized WaveGrid STL files for your specific setup and send them to you (of course for free).
• You print it, test the fit, and share the final results/pictures here in the group!

If you’re interested in such a collaboration with me, please drop a comment or chat message (if possible with a photo of your current setup).

I'm looking forward to your feedback and I hope I find a partner for the Snap-on experiment!

You can find the system here: WaveGrid - Ultimate Drawer Organization System

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
