Gridfinity Electronic Component Holder / Storage

No Support, No Wrapping, Fast Print

A breadboard-style, Gridfinity-compatible component holder/storage

• The hole sizes and spacing are compatible with breadboard standards.
• It securely holds pins and allows easy detachment.
• Resistors, diodes, transistors, and capacitors are loosen due to varying lead diameters.
• 2×2, 3x2, 3x3, and 4x4 Gridfinity compatible - more sizes coming soon!

The design

I needed something to hold, organize, store, or transport my electronic parts. The idea I came up with was to plug them into a board that could securely hold the pins while allowing easy detachment.

There are two existing options: polystyrene foam and breadboards. However, both have clear disadvantages. I don’t have much polystyrene foam, and the pieces I do have aren’t the right size. Breadboards grip the parts too tightly and are too expensive for this purpose.

So, I designed a custom base board. The linked (or widened) holes—compared to those in a standard breadboard—make it suitable for 3D printing. The hole size and shape have been fine-tuned to hold the parts just right.

After publishing the basic board design, people suggested Gridfinity-compatible formats and dimensions, which led to the development of this model.
