Description

Updated second generation models of my Gridfinity organizers for both ½" and ¼" shank bits!

Gen 2 organizers have more compliance than Gen 1 and work better for a wider range of bits from different manufacturers. They provide a lighter hold and are so much easier to insert and remove sharp router bits!

Models include dedicated ½ and ¼ shank holders as well as a dual holder.

I have only tested in Bambu PETG-HF and suggest 3 walls for strength and durability.

Print for yourself or use as inspiration to design your own!

Great models! I removed the size labeling on my size-specific prints. I hope to get around to posting a remix with magnet holes, and also would like to make variants to hold collets. This seems like the best router bit storage solution--you can have them all in a toolbox or drawer and then just grab the ones you need without them being loose.

@xshfc4j2x7

Rather than remix, since there could be lots of variants, I'll just give some ideas of how I modified the models for my use. I increased the x-y scale of the opening on the 1/4" by +0.5%, which gives me a better (looser) fit with my printer/filament/bits. It was a little too tight at first, and I didn't want to struggle to remove the sharp bits. The 1/2" fits perfect as is. I added magnet holes, diameter 6.1mm, depth 2.4mm, and when printed with no supports, I get a really nice interference fit. I dropped the infill % down to compensate for the extra geometry around those holes. For labels, 9mm Epson black on clear labels work well. I thought about adding a recess for the labels but it doesn't seems worth it. Thanks again for the really nice models!

excellant print

@user_2847436804

Great design for flexibility. Will you be releasing a version that has the spots for the 6x2mm magnets on the bottom?

The designer has replied

@JT_311

I can do that for you! I don’t use those magnets myself, do you happen to know if 6mm x 2mm are the exact dimensions for a good press fit?

@user_2847436804

Replying to @JT_311 :

Thank you for the reply and unfortunately I am not sure about the actual hole size for press to fit. From what I have read everything for Gridfinity references 6mm x 2mm magnets and some videos recommend using superglue in the holes to keep the magnets in place.

Replying to @user_2847436804 :

I've added the print profile with magnet cutouts. I printed without support and it printed just fine. The actual cutout dimensions are 6.1mm x 2.2mm. I hope it works!

Hi JT_311! Great solution, really cool. I printed out both the 1/2 inch and the double holder version. Can you consider releasing a drawing for 8mm router bits? In Sweden, that is the dominant size of shank for router bits. Keep up the good work!

The designer has replied

@JT_311

I've uploaded an 8mm version! Could you test it and let me know how well it works?

Replying to @JT_311 :

Hi JT_311! Thanks for taking the time to make a model for 8mm. I printed it out and I think it works well. I tested on several different 8mm router bits and they were easy to insert and remove. I forgot to mention that we also use 12mm router bits in Sweden if you also want to create a model for them. I can post info about your models on Swedish sites for hobby carpenters where I am a member, I think it will be appreciated. Keep up the good work!

if you lose a few mm from the centre ( making it overall the same height as the gen adapter version ) they work just as well and use 20% less filament :)

@SMP3DStudio

love these for my CNC router bits it would be amazing if there was a 3/8” diameter one a lot of my CNC bits are 3/8” shank and no one seems to make holders for them great build!!

@trickmanii

Cool, but why no recess for a label from a label maker? Would be perfect if you could slap a label on each bit holder.
