Plate 4
- Grid 3x5

- 23x Connector (22 needed + 1 spare)
  Needed if the grid is to loose or you don't want a full grid in your drawer

PLA printtime: ~3:55h and 116,9g material (single color)

PETG printtime: ~4:25h and 115,0g material (single color)

I recommend to put the 2 small grids and the spacer in the back of the drawer.

The grid can be printed in PLA or PETG. I recommend 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height.

A1 mini Edition:

I've included a profile for all A1 mini user out there. Basically you'll need three 4x4-Grids and three 3x4-Grids. The Spacer is cut in half, so it fits the print plate. You don't need to glue them together. Just use some connectors. The connectors are optional. You just need them if you don't fill the drawer space all with bins.

This is perfect for my alex drawers! There was one problem, however, and that is that it was just a little too big. I had to snip off the back part of the grid making it unusable. Other than that, this works amazingly! All that's needed is some pliers to snap the connecters in place.

@santydr

I think I have the same problem its a very very tight fit and I think that I'll have problems If I fill all with bins and containers. Otherwise a very good design

@bigchamploo

This is unfortunately due to Ikea's poor quality control.

Fits the drawers perfectly! • Bambu PLA Basic (black, Bambu green)

@user_2800999623

where i can find tools boxes (not grid it self)

@tbeau311

Replying to @user_2800999623 :

there’s a ton of different options just look up what you want with gridfinity at the end

This was exactly what I was looking for. Uploaded picture could show an empty grid, but it would be pontless as the one that is the most important here how it holds various other gridfinity models and as you can see, it's perfect.

plates printed well, connectors are a little tricky to fit.

@Gageygx

how did you fit them? im having a little bowing and im not sure if i set them correctly...

@Tx_Im

Replying to @Gageygx :

I placed them on top and used light hammer punshes to get them in

with brute force - used a nearby tool as a hammer...

Very good model and easy to print. I needed to cut off 2mm off of the spacer using a negative part to prevent the gird from bending upward. Also there should be 2 more connectors (3 if you want a spare).

@user_175702885

hey would you mind uploading the revised spacer? As many others I seem to have the same issue

@kopanja

Love it, thank you for making my life so much easier :)!

Good model. I recommend cleaning your build plate prior to printing the small connector pieces.

@ABDELat

Hi, this tolerance is normal. You'll need id for the 2 screws in the sidewalls. Thats why the spacer is only for the long side. As soon you put bins in the fields next to the screws you will notice why you need some space.

I see. Thank you.

wurde mit Sunlu Meta PlA und Generic settings gedruckt. beim ersten Versuch gab es etwas Probleme, kam beim zweiten Mal jedoch ohne Probleme raus. sitzt 1mm etwas zu eng an den Stirnseiten, so dass es sich etwas wellt und erhöhrt. habe deswegen etwas doppelseituges Klebeband zum fixieren genutzt. man kann natürlich auch etwas nachfeilen.

@ABDELat

Sunlu Meta PLA ist im vergleich zu anderen zB PLA+ etwas flüssiger, daher kann es passieren, dass Toleranzen nicht ganz eingehalten werden. Dazu kommt das das Holz vom Ikea jetzt auch nicht ganz genau ist. Bei mir passt es super in die eine Lade, die drunter wellt es sich auch leicht. aber spätestens wenn die ersten sachen drin sind, legt es sich wieder
