Description

A rugged, stackable gridfinity case system (5x4):

Base Version (7/6U):

NOW AVAILABLE FAT BOY (13/12U):

Keep in mind the lid+handle version has the exact same exterior dimensions as the other versions.

It reduces the interior space by -1U in height (7U case becomes a 6U).

Exterior Dimension:

219 x 194 x 57 mm → solo
235 x 194 x 57 mm → stackable
235 x 194 x 99 mm → fat boy

Hardware:

4x M3x30 Screw
M3x45 Screw, version dependent:
- 2x for solo
- 8x for stackable
- 10x for stackable + top handle

A complete 6U & 7U bin set (with and without label) available in various sizes!

Height adapter inserts (XU→7U) available to allow for maximum compatibility:

You can print the gasket (TPU) or you can add a rubber (⌀2mm) for sealing:

SPECIAL HOZO BRANDED EDITION AVAILABLE with custom insets for NeoBlade and M-Cube:

My Gridfinity case system was built from the ground up following Zack Friedman's official Gridfinity spec.

I designed it primarily for my own needs: consistent 5×4 footprint with mostly 6U height boxes and the option to go 7U for the occasional larger item. I wanted a large, comfortable front handle (I have big hands 😉), dual latches, reinforced hinges, support for a ⌀2mm rubber seal, full stackability with a proper top handle, and a clean overall look — all while using only two screw sizes.

Compared to other popular systems, I simplified where I didn’t need extra size options and improved the ergonomics and design for my workflow.

Like most of my designs, this one started as a personal project. If you like the choices — great! If not, there are plenty of fantastic alternatives out there. No plans for larger sizes — for those I use my awesome Einhell Gridfinity System which allows you to stack two layers of 6U bins in a 9x6 grid.

Free to use and print. Hope it serves you well! 👍

Half-Grid lids available as well via separate print profile:

Gridfinity Case System (7/6U)

Printed great in PETG! Originally printed the lid with latch without realizing that the inserts were meant for a 7U size. reprinted the stackable 7U lid and it works a charm. Also got some 2mm rubber gasket material off Amazon so it can have a great seal. Fit perfectly into the well!

Really cool! Highly recommend to print a second base and reuse the lid+handle. The stacking feature is awesome and the 6U Gridfinity set is uploading as a convenient print profile as we write. In combination with the 1U spacers you will have maximum flexibility. 😉

oh, 100% planning to print another base for when the neo sander gets delivered 😁

Replying to @joeythatoneguy :

Nice .. mine should come soon as well. Expect a complete gridfinity set as well!

Looks like a knock-off of the Schuylabs cases. Even the rendered graphic images are in the same style. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2359984-gridfinity-storage-box-v2-5x4#profileId-2582008 Are there advantages of your remix over those? Do you have plans for larger cases and extended ecosystem like shelving and rolling decks?

The designer has replied

@pixelwave

If you look around there are A TON of those cases floating around with various unique advantages / disadvantages. My case system is build from the ground up following the gridfinity spec by Zack Friedman. So no "remix" in that sense. You could say it is visually inspired by other cases and if you search there are actually variants which are much more similar to mine than this one. ;) I just in general like to have control over the system myself and not be to dependant on other designers choices. For example I printed the Gridfinity Case by @suit1337 in the past which is by itself a remix of the case by Aiko (its an endless rabbit hole ;) ). His system is great specifically if you need tons of different sizes, heights, etc.

... But I only need 5x4 and 99% of my Gridfinity boxes are 6U. I also did not like the tiny handle (cause I have large hands) and I needed stackability and the systems out there (also the one you posted) I did not like the slim top handle and some other design choices (top grid etc..). My design only uses two screw sizes, has the largest front handle for 5x4 cases with two latches, reinforced rear hinges, support for my ⌀2mm rubber seal and stackability with top handle while keeping an imo sleek overall design. To cut a long story short - I first and foremost designed this system for myself, like pretty much all my items. If somebody else likes my design choices as well - Great! ;) Btw .. no plans to go bigger. For that I love my Einhell Case System ( https://makerworld.com/en/models/1345502 ).

@kernel_Panic

"Knock-off" is a strange choice here. Gridfinity is a community standard, Schuylabs built on that, like everyone else in this space. That's the whole point. People rework and build on each other's work constantly. Sometimes to figure out how to do something in CAD, sometimes to make small improvements, sometimes just to give something back. Do they have to justify that with documented advantages and a product roadmap? More options to print from, or to spark new ideas, is always a good thing. @pixelwave Nice work. Thanks for posting it.

Would it be possible to make a lid with a 21mm grid? I have bins with half grid

Gridfinity Case System (7/6U)

perfect 👌

The profile uploader has replied

@pixelwave

Uhh, how is the H2C? I am thinking about upgrading myself. Still running the X1C .. with no complains. But the bigger build volume and the vortek system seems intriguing. Probably going to pull the trigger next Black Friday or anniversary day ...

I'm new to the 3D printing world, but as a noob the H2C is awesome. Thank you for your plans for the gridfinity case system.

prints nice and looks really good! my Printer Ran out of Filament 3 Times that's why it became three colors XD Filament is ABS

This is funny. 😆 But it definitely is an eye catcher!

Fat Boy (13/12U)

@user_20753543

how do you use bins in the fat boy case?

The designer has replied

@pixelwave

The fat boy case has a standard 12U height with the lid + top handle. That means you can put 6U bins (as supplied via print profile) in it and stack 2 rows above each other. Or basically any other combination of bins via gridfinity bin generators.

@user_20753543

oh right so the bins kind of lock into one another? no plate needed between bins? is there a 5x5 stackable in this profile?

@jonia_3d_print

Where can I find the assembly file with the screws I need to put it all together

Not sure I understand what exactly is missing?

Replying to @pixelwave :

the type and quantity of screws needed for mounting the handle and the closing system
