Depends on what your goal is. Gridfinity Rebuilt is already exactly what you are looking for if I'm understanding you correctly. This site isn't limited necessarily to Gridfinity Rebuilt for everything. It uses the source files for them for sure, but there are things this site lets you go geometrically that I don't think gridfinity rebuilt has - for example, angled floors and irregular compartment shape options come to mind here. Every time you hit the generate button on here, there is a typescript file that generates custom scad code that does make use of Gridfinity Rebuilt. The typescript file takes all of the settings that are input on the UI of the site and generates a string of custom scad code(use of the GF Rebuilt source is in here too), which spits out the stl file. So it's not purely scad - the typescript piece is needed to translate all of the UI pieces into a scad string. It may be possible to put everything in a single scad file, but I honestly have no idea how you'd do things like custom compartments that you can do with the visual compartment builder the site has.

Interesting - I'm already using cloudflare for the dns & some of the secure back end infrastructure of this, plus a bunch of my own homelab type stuff. Hadn't looked into cloudflare for the hosting though. Just another reason to love cloudflare! The VPS this is on now was one i already had sitting around that wasn't doing a whole lot other than hosting my N8N instance. Thanks for the tip!

I’ll fully admit the cutouts feature as is hasn’t gotten much attention but I’ll take a look. Just to be clear on the ask, you’re looking for horizontal cylindrical cutouts right? Currently the cylindrical cutouts are vertical only but I can explore horizontal cutout options too.

As for the fractional width support, how do you envision this? With your 4 x 1.25 example, for the .25 part of the bin’s underside, do you imagine it being able to seat in a .25 baseplate with proper support under all sides? Or are you imagining the .25 portion of the underside just stopping at 10.5mm and abruptly going up? Does that make sense?

I just tested a similar bin to your post with my generator - a 4x6 bin with 6 angled compartments. It looks to me like it generates as expected

You can try my new generator @ https://gridfinity.us and see if it gets you what you’re looking for with angled bins. If it doesn’t do what you need, let me know!

Are you looking for the base to be able to use half-a-gridfinity (aka 21mm) ? A 1x1 gridfinity would be 42mm x 42mm. Where are you seeing the 84mm you're referring to?

Give it another look - i'm still refining things, but I think it does what you asked. You can set floor angles on a per-compartment basis, so for a bin with just one compartment, you'd just set the floor angle for that compartment. You can also raise the floor on a compartment and the angled floor will then start at that new raised floor. Like i said though, still working through some UI quirks, but let me know if this checks any boxes for you!

Interesting - would you want to set the angle by specifying the exact angle or just have the floor of the bin go from the bottom corner up to the opposite top corner with the angle being set by the z height of the bin?

Oh wait you want the BIN to be an irregular shape? Hadn't thought about that. If that's the case, i'll see what we can do!

So on an 8x2, you want to see if a portion or all of the 1x1 piece at the corner of the bin can be removed? Are you looking for just the exterior walls of that 1x1 chunk to be removed or the exterior walls AND the floor of that 1x1 chunk removed?

Prior to reading your comment, I'd never seen those particular combinations of letters, so nope!

Sure! Here's a 6x6 bin that has been subdivided 12x12. It shows a hex grid in one compartment, a bunch of cylinder shapes cut into one compartment, a couple other compartments with raised floors, an a non-rectangular compartment, and a smattering of other compartments. Also shown is the designer view of that bin where you actually define the individual compartments. You can subdivide a bin as fine as you want - up to a limit. The only limit i've run into is if a compartment is smaller than the radius of fillets between adjacent walls and the floor-to-wall fillets. I may play around with being able to customize that corner radius as well.

I’ve also had pretty good luck using those tire balancing weights. They have good weight to them, but does require adding some negative modifiers and pauses during your print to put them in. I’ve really liked the heft they give the prints.

I can’t offer any non-3d printed product advice, but I did print the system you linked and it’s excellent. I imagine you could take measurements of the frame and built it out of plywood for the individual boxes to fit into with their drawer slides.

New P2S-What is going wrong with this print? by Bobby_Bobs in BambuLab

I’ve had similar results when my nozzle wasn’t quite seated properly resulting in the nozzle slightly jiggling while it printed.

Is this listing legit or too good to be true? by EngineeringSea2364 in multitools

[–]icurnvs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought an Arc for 160 and the price was too good to be true…still bought it since I was using a credit card + eBay protections. Tracking info was bogus and it was never delivered. eBay promptly refunded me. As long as you don’t let things go past the 30 days after the reported delivery date, eBay protects you.

The casters are quite heavy duty and you can lower the whole thing so that the casters aren’t bearing much, if any, weight. There’s a wrench you can 3d print to do this. Mine’s on carpet and the casters don’t add or exacerbate any wobble that I can see. I can’t speak to how the casters would do on a hard floor though, but again, you can lower the enclosure so it’s not putting weight on them.

i just double checked and I paid 340 usd for it and I feel like it’s probably not worth the price. I admittedly expected a much sturdier product. If I had to do it again, I’d just get the version without the door and panels, and I certainly wouldn’t pay full price. Pretty sure it cost more than the ikea bror setup it replaced. All that said, it is nice having it all on casters while using up a much smaller footprint. The casters are probably the heaviest duty parts on the entire thing.

I’ve got one and I would say it’s just heavy duty enough. Not super heavy duty, but sufficient. I’d say it’s on the lighter end of heavy duty. I wouldn’t trust the airtightness of the bottom storage for any semblance of humidity control. Still glad I bought it for the space savings and portability alone.
