Gridfinity is a strange one as on the whole it would make more sense for much of it to be mass produced injection moulding. Everyone is printing the same 42mm grid and buckets! But hobby gonna hobby.

Shhhh! Some of us need to convince our significant others that a 3d printer is actually useful, and not just a toy/waste of space.

On this tangent I can recommend 3D printing jewellery and RC toys as well as repairing broken stuff around the house. Kids like custom fidget spinners.

Printing RC toys gets expensive fast. Before you know it you're buying castle motors and a flysky remote.

Everyone I know who uses the system likes to print different little specialized containers for their different things.

I don’t know anyone who just prints a lot of identical 42mm buckets.

Use gridfinity instead. It actually works and isn't AI slop

This is clearly using gridfinity. You might want to actually check out the link before commenting next time

I tried and it didn't even load me a result, like others in the comments. If this is an AI wrapper around gridfinity, that's even worse

I'm curious how grindfinity's/geniecrate's calculation is made for the fitting problem.

I'm very interested in seeing some combination of LLM / genetic algorithms to generate optimized furniture placement in rooms, or even designing entire houses from a set of rules/first principles etc.

Yes. Just use gridfinity. This adds no value

Hey i 3d printed the toilet paper holder that had been broken since I was born more or less

Clicked one of the examples... > I have a 400mm x 500mm x 80mm drawer for screws and bolts. (thinking for a while) "Please provide drawer dimensions to continue."

Wait long enough and it popped up for me. (Android, also basically Linux but using Vivaldi)

Took about 10 secs.
