Additionally, because the bins you put in are standard #Gridfinity bins, they can go off and be useful elsewhere if you decide you want something different in your drawers.

I just used another #OpenScad model to generate the bins with dividers or not.

Seriously thinking about printing more of these for our workbenches.

What's not obvious is that these are designed so that the drawer is actually just a grid, that you can put ANY #Gridfinity bins into. There's nothing special about it.

This is annoying in that it means you have to print a minimum of 3 pieces to have a functional drawer: a shell for the drawer to go in, the drawer grid+handle, and whatever bin(s) you want to put in it.

But AWESOME in that you can put whatever works for you in there & change it up later.

For anyone curious how those 3D printed #Gridfinity drawers came out…

The only thing I don’t like about these is that they do not have any stops to prevent things from becoming unaligned front to back. I would also like to see a small stop to prevent the door from coming all the way out without a special motion.

#3DPrinting

#Gridfinity isn't the greatest modular system, but it's good, and it has a ridiculously large ecosystem of things that have already been created for it.

#Multiboard https://www.multiboard.io/ is cool, and has a big following, but just ignores gridfinity's existence.

#OpenGrid https://www.opengrid.world/ also has some cool innovations, but it's only kinda-sorta compatible with an adapter and some caveats.

The tool wall is finished! IKEA BESTÅ, SKÅDIS, UPPDATERA, and a whole lot of 3D modeling and printing.

I bought the furniture last November. I built the furniture in December. I spent the next six months modeling the custom hangers, and today I published all the 3D printed parts to Printables. Done done. Hooray!

And here are some Gridfinity baseplates and driver bit bins for the tool wall. It's hard to tell from the photos, but the baseplates are tilted forward. These bits are from three sets, plus some more I got as singletons. They include a lot I won't use often (ever), but I've also got the ones I need.

These baseplates use the three piece assembly mechanism that I showed upthread in 10 and 11.

@WebPassionist Have you heard about #gridfinity ?
