Description

Gridfinity Simple Base - Gridfinity Master Collection

I created this collection to facilitate easy and quick printing of single (simple) Gridfinity bases. Each grid has its own named print plate, making selection of the correct size quick and easy. This collection includes all bases that fit on the 256mmx256mm build plate of a Bambulab printer.
 

The bases are designed to be as compatible with any Gridfinity system as possiblewhile keeping it simple. They have no slots for magnets and use minimal filament. Neighboring grids can be attached using e.g. a drop of superglue. The default print profile doesn’t require brims for adhesion.

 

Usage is pretty simple: Select the build plate with the base size you want from the overview and send it to the printer. Ideal for beginners or a quick print job from the mobile app.

The size of the base is in the 42mm grid of Gridfinity. Meaning all grid outside dimensions are a multiple of 42mm.


Other Gridfinity collections:

I have created other collection modells with the same alignment for easy and quick printing fully compatible with Gridfinity.
There is the Gridfinity Simple Bin - all sizes
There is also the Gridfinity Eco Bin - all sizes for ~ 40% filament and print time saving.
Lastely tere are the Gridfinity Lids / Blanks - all sizes

 

The Gridfinity project:

The Gridfinity system is a smart and flexible way to organize your space. Using a 42mm grid-based design, it lets you arrange different-sized bins and trays to store items neatly and efficiently. Whether it's for tools, office supplies, or household items, Gridfinity helps reduce clutter and keeps everything in its place. It's easy to customize and expand, so you can adjust it to fit your changing needs, making it a great solution for keeping any space tidy and organized. Gridfinity has a significant part in my decision to get a 3D printer.

 

Gridfintity was originally designed by Zack Freeman as an open source and free storage solution:

FreeCAD:

I created all the 3d files here myself with the free (LGPL) Gridfinity workbench for FreeCAD by Stu142
https://github.com/Stu142/FreeCAD-Gridfinity-Workbench
 

I can highly recommend this tool for generating bins that are tailor made for your application. The possible combinations of Gridfinity are nearly endless. After you have all your bases and bins this is a great tool.


Disclaimers:

I did neither invent Gridfinity nor parts of it, nor do I claim any ownership of this project.
I just created all the bins in this collection (288 so far and counting) to ensure the same parameters are used and organized them in an easy to manage and print manner. I created this collection to make it easy for myself and others to quickly send a bin request to a printer. It has proven practical for me to quickly request missing bins without having to browse through huge archive folders. 
If you think I somehow still stole the fame of Gridfinity I want to quote Zack freeman himself (video at 6:25): “It is a framework for the community…”

 

Other Notes:

Some bases appear to be duplicates. A 2x3 base and a 3x2 base have identical dimensions. I included both not only to satisfy my OCD but also for a practical reason. The bases are oriented differently on the build plate. This is very useful if the build plate is damaged at an edge or has a non-stick zone there (eg. touched by bare fingers to remove a previous print). Also it helps if you want to quickly print a base at 3am and your brain can’t handle the task of recognizing that a 3x5 is the same as a 5x3…

The 6x6 basess are included in the STL file, but are not in the m3f for bamboo studio. These can’t be printed with the default Bambulab printers, since they have an exclusion zone for the filament cutter…
Anyhow, if you are advanced enough to modify your printer you should be advanced enough to generate your own base ;)

I printed this Gridfinity base to organize our messy kitchen drawer, and it turned out absolutely perfect. The dimensions are precise, the grid alignment is flawless, and the fit between all the bins is spot on. Everything stays neatly in place and the drawer looks incredibly tidy now. The print itself went very smoothly on my Bambu P1S using standard PLA. The surface finish is clean and consistent, and the overall look feels professional and durable. It’s such a simple design, but it makes a huge difference in everyday use. Even my wife — who wasn’t really convinced about the 3D printer before — finally saw how practical it can be! Thanks to the creator for sharing such a well-made and useful design. This base is the perfect foundation for any Gridfinity setup!

Printed very nicely. I'm just starting with the system, so still need more print to test it all. But this start looks very promising! Thanks for your contribution!
