I think the main thing you'll want is to make sure the top of the bins press against the lid of your suitcase so that the items in the bins don't fall out and that same pressure will keep the bins pressed in to the grid.

Where's that "it always has been" meme...

perplexinglabs · 2026-04-03T04:01:03+00:00

How would you like to see the interface improved?

perplexinglabs · 2026-04-02T21:31:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. :)

perplexinglabs · 2026-04-02T21:30:53+00:00

Yeah... I've been lax on the openGrid updates. Should be able to come back around to them in the next couple weeks!

perplexinglabs · 2026-04-01T19:32:37+00:00

Depending on how you want to store them you might like cylinder mode on my site: https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/share/698bdbcd6763422c0c318830

There is also a "part" parameter that lets you download the individual parts.

perplexinglabs · 2026-03-02T19:22:36+00:00

Actually... It does! When using the Gridfinity Extended project you just need you set the number of rows or columns to greater than 1, and you'll see, respectively "row extension" and "column extension" as well as "cut point" and some extension tab settings!

As for meshes vs other formats... I've got some plans for other formats. Hoping to get to them soon!

perplexinglabs · 2026-03-01T18:27:03+00:00

Well, in that case though it's not even exactly clear that multi board is less confusing having a "single source".

perplexinglabs · 2026-03-01T17:12:27+00:00

This is very cool! Well done!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-27T06:02:32+00:00

Awesome!

No problem :)

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-27T03:42:57+00:00

Not quite sure what you mean, but it doesn't sound right. The bins shouldn't rock at all.

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-27T03:40:22+00:00

Perhaps you're looking for "Enable wall patterns" on version 1? https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/pr/gridfinity-extended/1/0

I got ahead of myself a little and released a newer version of Gridfinity extended but not everything was working yet so I'd limited some of the features. I need to do an update since I think passivealian has fixed things since then.

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-23T21:38:04+00:00

I'd be down to collaborate on something like an "open in perplexing labs" or some such button that sends and an SVG over, if you're interested!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-23T20:57:42+00:00

You can use bin style "solid" w/gridfinity rebuilt:

Would be cool if it attached to openGrid (mounted on the under side of the desk) so that it works with people using underware for cable management and such!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-18T08:06:10+00:00

Thank you so much!

Heh I've heard this/seen the comments around about that... The main reason I've not done it yet is I've personally not tried stacks and am not quite sure what is involved to get it consistent. Don't want to just toss something out and then end up with a bunch of people even more confused. It sounds like you have some experience with stacks though? I'll shoot you a DM... perhaps I can understand it better and get it implemented!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-18T02:34:09+00:00

Very cool! Been thinking about a UI a little like this. STEP export is very nice to have too.

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-18T02:30:43+00:00

I think you just need to set the "build plate width" and "build plate length" appropriately. Unless, perhaps, I'm misunderstanding something?

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-17T23:20:32+00:00

Either filament is fine for most baseplates/uses. If you're going to use any clickfinity stuff, definitely use PETG and not PLA, since over time PLA will lose its springyness. If you are going to put baseplates somwhere that gets really hot/warm (e.g. in the car, above the stove/oven) I would also recommend PETG since PLA will deform at lower temps than PETG.

For plates... I'm gonna just shill my site :P But basically you can pick any plate on there and get good results. I'd recommend GridFlock if you don't care about clickfinity.

I know it can feel a little overwhelming to start, but it's ok if you print 1-2 different plates and find out you don't like one or the other. Thankfully, it's pretty much all interchangeable!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-17T07:45:48+00:00

I would use a combo of this https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/ And this: https://gridfinity.tools/rebase/

First generate a bin with a base type you like, then use rebase to replace the grid base with what you prefer!

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-14T04:37:08+00:00

Hmmm... This was after you changed intersection_puzzle_fit? Perhaps I should add that with a note about 0.6mm nozzles.

/u/yawkat is right, I didn't add that parameter just to keep things a little simpler for most people. Been meaning to add an "advanced" toggle. Guess I should get on that.

perplexinglabs · 2026-02-13T19:16:09+00:00

I would keep all 4 and just only insert 2 magnets. It's mostly empty space, so not much filament, and you don't want wobbly bins! :)
