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.

Honestly the fact that the kids are so into it after I got it has made my wife come around.

Her main argument was, is this just going to sit around gathering dust?

and I’m about to go on a gridfinity spree in the next few weeks so she’s going to enjoy the OCD organizing.

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.

Is there something mass-produced that's flexible and consistent like gridfinity? As a non 3d printer owner, I've been looking for something I can just buy that would work.

This keeps deciding that I am done describing my drawer before I can mention a single thing that should be stored in the drawer. I basically get paste the dimension and it decides that I hit Generate already.

Now I'm going to try typing my command in a different window and then pasting it in all at once. That worked, but now it isn't at all obvious how my items are supposed to go in the boxes generated, nor how they are to fit into the space.

Please create it for wood as in "this is the wood you need to obtain or cut as in lwh. Then, how many screws do you need where" and so on.

3D printing this is too expensive in even a little bigger quantity. Maybe a combination of 3D print and wood, but 3D print is way too powerful to be wasted on even surfaces that could better be created with wood.

I find the sum of all 3d printing tools and consumables required to build something useful (i.e. drawer inserts) a lot cheaper than the sum of all wood tools and consumables.

App needs a bit of review, rather buggy, reloads and presents layouts while I’m typing, if I type in something thats not dimensions the error presents and then rotates through seemingly many different responses to other’s prompts? Vibe coding is a tonne of fun but its worth putting it through the wringer before making public :)
