Adaptive Grid Storage System - Gridfinity Alt

Looking for a Gridfinity alternative that doesn’t require printing a new bin for every item?
This modular storage tray with adjustable dividers lets you customize your layout anytime — without reprinting.
Print once. Reconfigure forever.

Tips:

• Dividers press fit between the circular slots and/or wall grooves. Fit is tight, for stability, but it's tested so pulling them out is easy
• Dividers are one per print profile. To print multiple, use the clone/copy feature. Printing more than one will save filament for the brim used to print them vertically
• Dividers are printed upside down so that no supports are needed
• Use multiple colors for the dividers to create your own unique style (pictures of your color combinations in the comments are appreciated)

• Make sure the plate is clean before printing the tray, as it uses most of the printing surface
