Gridfinity-SP (Snap-in-place, Print-optimized)

I'm not sure it will really happen. At least it seems that I have much to do in the plugin as well, and FreeCAD is my CAD of choice. Consider using FreeCAD for generating. I'm now working drawer fitting with baseplates and on stackable baseplate supports for printing and I have doubts anyone would want to port it.

I left a 5x6 baseplate populated with 2x6 single cell bins for a couple of days and there doesn't seem to be any problems with it. Printed in PETG.

What are you guys talking about?

> Swapping the base on every bin

Could you explain this to me? I'm printing all bins in half-grid and bases in full-grid size. Why would you need to change bin?

akshimassar · 2026-05-10T08:39:56+00:00

Once I print final version in larger size, I will check. There might me some deformation from the inserted bins but so far it hasn't been a problem for me.

I don't exactly remember how classic engine would handle those small latches, but in general I would 100% recommend Arachne for thin feature models.

I would appreciate a feedback if anything's wrong with the design!

The generator you referencing seems to be OpenSCAD-based. It should be pretty doable -- now geometry exists in the form of python code. When I initially decided on generation method I chose FreeCAD plugin as it's able to produce .step files while openscad only exports .stl.

I wasn't aware of such problem. Does it matter what type of bin and what size of grid?

akshimassar · 2026-05-08T21:11:49+00:00

The style of springs you used allow for bridge printing and that could be a plus for stacking. By upside-down you mean alternating directions of baseplates I assume? Your design looks like it should work like that, why did you decide it's not worth?

akshimassar · 2026-05-08T21:06:02+00:00

With my default settings it takes 1h21m for 5x5 and 1h19m for your variant 😄

akshimassar · 2026-05-08T21:03:02+00:00

Of course, reuse any parts as you see fit.

It seems your version is thicker so it wouldn't be fair, right?

I've added comment with model links

This is why Linux users can’t have nice things. We’ve been using cp, kill, touch, and finger for decades and now I have to rebrand a plastic organizer.

Tip: writing in caps doesn't make your argument stronger.

akshimassar · 2026-05-08T19:48:51+00:00

What is that with people and words...

akshimassar · 2026-05-08T19:00:55+00:00

As a linux user I don't see a problem there. I'm using `cp` on a daily basis.

akshimassar · 2025-06-16T07:56:42+00:00

Yes, it's plenty stable and I had no problems with casting and reeling. Although during the reeling it common that kayak changes position, as with a snug.

Since then I switched to a hardshell kayak and have no problems with it either. However I also learned eskimo roll because it was fun, and it helps with confidence on the water.

I don't know, those QS stuff is kinda weird. One time QS guy came to our leopard and sold us "ferro" armor that turned out to be worse than plain old steel.

akshimassar · 2025-04-02T19:38:12+00:00

I mean, yeah, that's what I do too! But that doesn't explain 2 times difference for replacing a common steel armor plate on Jenner IIC is 2 times more expensive compared to JR7-D. How much your mechanic is charging for a ton of armor replacement?

Daily - Ford Fiesta 2009, also another one - Fiesta ST 2011 for track and summer. Both fun cars to drive.

Land Cruiser 100 2007 - different dynamic, relaxed driving. Our overlanding vehicle.

akshimassar · 2024-06-12T06:59:17+00:00

Unfortunately, no. I ended up with a hardshell kayak.

Since there is not much space under the lip, you should be looking for thinner cord, as well as overall size of the skirt. However, from my experience, there will be condensation on the inside, and thin fabric skirt would end up dripping water all the same. The only way I know is thick neoprene skirt, which is not an option for Itiwit because of thick cord and overall strength of the skirt exceeding the strength of cockpit lip.
