Description

I got a little frustrated that all the Gridfinity boxes would not fit on Gridfinity shelves. They were all too wide and built for extreme use. So, I designed one myself. This is a simple storage box. It is 5X5 and fits on a 5X5 shelf.  I started with the parametric gridfinity base by LayerCake model #476846. This box is strong enough to hold the screws and bolts that I store at my workbench. It will not survive the apocalypse, nor will it hold your construction tools at a jobsite.

It is designed to be narrow, so the walls are relatively thin. The lid will fit tight. You can stack these until the bottom one crumbles. 

I highly recommend using standard supports when printing as this reduces a lot of stringing. I would recommend this to anyone building any base meant to sit on another gridfinity base. There's lots of deep grooves!

These were made with standard BL PLA and a 4mm hotend. I use gyroid infill, you can choose your own favorite.

What type of filament did you use? Did you try to increase the size of the lid?

Sorry it didn't work out for you. In gridfinity cases, the tops and bottoms are mirror images. The bottom side of the top should be identical to the bottom of the box. The top of the box should perfectly fit the bottom of another box. The inside bottom looks just like the top, and gridfinity boxes fit in, without shifting around. The bottom of the lid secures the inside gridfinity containers. When closed you should be able to turn the box, with lid on, over and not spill any items in their gridfinity containers. That's the way they are designed, so that they can stack ad infinitum.
