There is a drop down for what to render. It’s the first one. I think it’s called mode.

other mode can't be shown.

Oh I see you are right. There is a difference in how the web tool and the desktop app read the settings. I will fix it up.

found it pretty easy to use - the online tool is amazing. But I didn’t realise you have to use the render menu to render individual parts, and then download - you can’t download the entire item if it has multiple parts (I was doing a set of drawers). Printed well so far (only printed one drawer and the chest - added brims to both just in case but no issues on a P1S

That looks great, How much plastic did you use including the bins?

Replying to @ostat :
a lot - barely had enough ‘random yellow’ so some new bins will be a different colour I think the chest was 185g and each drawer around 145g. the bins I don’t pay much attention to- printed those last week just to hold my loose parts to tidy up then looked for somewhere to hold them

Hello. When I saw your project I was overjoyed, I'm a big gridfinity lover. However I'm having some problems both in the newest snapshot of OpenSCAD (I don't have much experience in it) and in MakerWorld customizer - the item holder slots are off center and cutting through one of the walls, trays generate with solid inside. I changed item holder to C battery to show it better, the tray is all default options, haven't changed anything. I wonder if I'm making some sort of mistake. Thank you in advance.

Sorry about that. I will take a look asap.

Thanks for raising, I had made some changes to better support the online customiser (like centering the model), and missed some changes. This should be all good now. happy printing.

Absolutely brilliant for a newbie to have access to this way of building "bespoke" gridfinity stuff. Thanks! Example in the photo: 7x2 VoronoiHexgrid with 3 cutout. Printed on Bambu Lab P1S automatic cut in two (the dovetail connection is visible in the photo - barely in real life)

That’s a nice looking print. How sturdy is it? Thanks for sharing the image.

Thanks :-) The sides give quite a bit when pressing them, without breaking (so far). Let's see how they hold up in daily kitchen abuse ;-) The bin bottom itself is quite robust - the dovetail connection is snug and robust. Material is "3DE MAX PLA" - a PLA marketed as stronger by a Danish 3DPrinter shop's own house brand: "3DE". Still only PLA.

I cloned your repo and did a new installation of OpenSCAD 2021.01 for Windows. When I open the baseplate file, it gives an error that it requires a newer version of the OpenSCAD. There is no newer version of OpenSCAD. Is there an error in the scripts, or module files?

The error is found in gridfinity_modules.scad: module assert_openscad_version(){ assert(version()[0]>2022,"This script requires a newer version of openSCAD. http://openscad.org");

OpenScad does not produce release version very often. As you noted the last release was 2021.01. This script uses features added since then, Its pretty common for scripts to require the latest development snapshot. You can find that here https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots Sorry for the confusion, As mentioned below, I really need to work on the doco

I have updated the error message to make it clearer what is needed. "Gridfinity Extended requires an OpenSCAD version greater than 2022 https://openscad.org/downloads. Use Development Snapshots if the release version is still 2021.01 https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots."

This is the bees knees! I'm glad that you uploaded this to Makerworld. I think you have a real shot at winning the contest.

Thanks @CullenJWebb, would be nice but there are lots of great models. Nice to have it in a state it can be uploaded. I tried some other online tools this one seems quite good. Be nice if I could point it to the github file for easier updates. Aside we need to work on the click labels, get them updated. I think I need some input from you, I commented in GutHub if you are interested.

Very versatile. Was able to create a holder for my 'tool wallet' after some tinkering. Love it!

This is amazing!!! Could one use this to customize oddly shaped objects (a spoon, a throwing star, etc)?

You could but I suspect other tools like Fusion36 would be easier. There is a really nice Gridfinity plugin for Fusion.
