Silverware Holder Gridfinity Parameterized

Story
I searched for a silverware ornganizer which fits my cutlery. But as it is with cutlery every set has different sizing.
So after a web search i stumbled over the OpenSCAD from @Jamie on Printables. I though this will fit my needs. However, as i printed one or two created models. I realized I need to have a cutout in the middle for better access to the forks etc.
So I managed to make my first OpenSCAD model adjustment which I present you here for your use. Happy Printing.
Measure Guide
I'll provide you here a step by step measure guide with an spoon as an example
- Take your desired silverware and your caliper and maybe a folding rule.
First measure the width of the wide part as in the next picture.

Then you measure the narrow part (small end of the spoon)

The third parameter you need is the length of the cutlery.

And last we need the length of the wide part.

Do this with every type you'd like to organize with this scheme and write down the measurements.
The last parameters which you have to decide are:
- Finger width: The width of the cutout in the middle. I would go between 2 and 4 cm.
- Seperator wall: The minimal width of the walls between the cutouts for the cutlery.
- Margin: The clearance on the sides and ends of the cutouts for the cutlery
- Numer of utensils: How many utensils you want to have in the gridfinity block. (You set the parameters for each individual)
- Height: How tall should the gridfinity block be. It is without the raised edges, so if you want a 40 mm usable heigth for the cutlery take 40mm + 4mm base = 44mm. This will result in a 48mm heigth of the block itself.
- $fn: Number of facets for the curved surface. Lower means more like low poly and higher is smoother. I used 512 for the models in the 3mf.
- Other gridfinity features like magnet diameters or screw depth and floor thickness
End
I wish you happy measuring and printing.
Just a recommendation for a nice visual effect. If you want to make multiple blocks like me, use the same height and depth (gridfinity units)
for the parts, so they merge together like in the pictures form my drawer.
