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
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
For the chest, you can add a hex pattern in the walls to save filament. I should allow that for the drawer sizes as well.
For the bins much of the filament is used in the base. If you don't need a flat floor the smooth efficient base is a nice choice. There are some details on the different bases with pictures here https://docs.ostat.com/docs/openscad/gridfinity-extended/cup-optimisations/
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.
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)
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

Sorry for the confusion, As mentioned below, I really need to work on the doco
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.
Hi - just found this model. Thanks ... but I cannot figure out how to use it. I hit customize, select the model (anyone), hit customize again and nothing happens. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Mac using safari.
