#2It’s such a nice project. But boy do I think it would benefit from mass production. People spend a lot of time printing generic bins and baseplates that would be better spent just printing custom bins.

You can use this custom gridfinity generator.

Ironically printing custom pelican inserts with this right now

I guess selling injection molded parts is forbidden under its licensing terms, which seems unfortunate.
Let people make some money while everyone is saving money.

#6There’s a filament saving variant where you can use toilet rolls or other waste cardboard for the walls:

Time has never really been an issue imo. For the average person your printer sits unused 99% of the time if it takes you half a day to print a baseplate and some bins, who cares. It’s still faster and cheaper than shipping.

#8I’ve been trying this out. The biggest problem I’m experiencing is that your draws won’t be a perfect multiple of the grid size. Which means you are always going to be left with gaps on the side which are wasted space which could be up to 40mm.
There is kind of a solution to this where you can use non standard grid sizes to perfectly fit your draws, and there are generators which will create the baseplates and bins for you. But you lose the ability to use other people’s models.
Feel like it would have been better if they had picked a smaller grid size so the average wasted space would be smaller.

#9Took me a while before i understood it was to store physical items. For a second I was thinking some battery solution-like grid storage system. A few photos on the homepage would help a lot and make it much more clear for noobs like me.

#10Learn from my mistake: Not at all about the electrical grid and energy storage strategies.
Great in its own right though
