Nice idea but I'm missing the specialty bins that actually make Gridfinity useful: bins for storing the AA/AAA batteries vertically, for SD cards and USB keys, for a caliper, tape measure,...

With plain bins, you don't get the "this tool can only be stored there" lemma that changes how you think when you have a lot of tools. If a tool has only one place to go: 1) either it's there or it's used on a work surface, 2) it goes back there and not in a possibly-related dump (does this special double-sided tape go with all the tapes or with the leatherworking supplies?)

For other Gridfinity content:

  - Generate a specific bin for your tool: https://www.tooltrace.ai/
  - Generic bin generator: https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/pr/gridfinity-rebuilt/0/0
  - Hub for links: https://gridfinity.xyz/

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.

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.

Yes these

It looks like that's just a generic error message. For me, this websocket message is received when the error appears:

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.

Oh fidget spinner is a good idea. I bought some good will with an articulated dragon that my daughter likes that is pretty cool.

Have you got any links/suggestions for the RC stuff? I've not looked into that yet.

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.

Also I thought plastic was bad. We seem to just be producing new pointless bits of plastic crap here?

Boats and gliders are cool. You can mod non-RC stuff to be RC, that's the fastest/cheapest method.

The error message should point that it's the server, not the user problem.

Asshole design makes it hard to see what product that is. Any other links?
