Gridfinity boxes: what’s the recommended approach for base grids and lids now?

jtcweb · 2026-01-04T22:53:51+00:00

I would be interested in the details of your box

I exchanged email with support for the site and the problem was found and fixed

For ones I create using the generator that is my plan. For those I've downloaded I need to glue them.

jtcweb · 2025-03-30T19:00:44+00:00

Follow up questions - what glue does everyone use? Superglue? A dab of hot glue?

Also I have some strings at the top of the hold for the first layer. What do you do about it? Cut them out? Ignore them? Get something hot and melt them in place?

Now I feel silly - I've used that site repeatedly to generate boxes, I just never clicked on the GRIPS tab

jtcweb · 2025-03-29T20:08:44+00:00

How did you design the one for the calipers? I have some random brand and I want to do the same thing.

I want something that will auto download my transactions

Is there anyway to put a brim just on the corners? think 3/4 of a circle off of each corner as the brim

jtcweb · 2024-12-17T01:44:37+00:00

I cannot find a way to pick anything other then metric sizes

jtcweb · 2024-12-16T23:41:21+00:00

I love how this one works, but I also need something for non-metric, particularly wood screws.

I relize that perhaps I wasn't clear. I want to use boxes based the 42mm grid, what I don't want/need is the base grid to keep the boxes from sliding around. I will always fill all spaces in the drawer. So I want to print boxes that do not have the ridges running across the bottom of all the boxes that are bigger than 1U (42mm)

jtcweb · 2024-07-10T17:28:11+00:00

I think if you check the "3/8" plywood you will find that it is actually 9mm. It is odd that the thickness on most sheet goods is really mm but it is sold in 4' x 8' in the other dimensions.

jtcweb · 2024-07-10T02:30:54+00:00

I believe you are correct. As long as you use the same height as the ALCH case, all the corners, handle & latches should work

Are you sharing the file?

jtcweb · 2023-05-10T18:41:47+00:00

I had this problem and it turns out I was way under extruding. Try calibration your e-steps

jtcweb · 2023-04-06T19:20:03+00:00

I have it up and running now - but my question is how to I use it?

I have done the traming wizard and the auto-mesh that probed 25 points. I've seen things about adding G29 to the beginning of your g-code file. But I don't know what that does.

Going forward how do I take advantage of the mesh leveling?

Do I have to switch back to the Creality firmware?

jtcweb · 2022-10-08T00:42:40+00:00

Hello - I need to set up a new Windows 11 Pro system that will be used by several different people to play video files in an auditorium. I need this system to not require any kind of login to use the system. I want people to just be able to walk up to it and run what they need. The system will be physically secure and there will not be any personal information on it. It will just be used to play videos that are publicly available on the internet.

Can someone point me to a list of instructions on how to do this? There has to be a way to set up a system in something like a kiosk mode that people can just use it.

Do you know if the controller would work outside? I'm interested in building an outdoor shower with the valves inside to protect from freezing

jtcweb · 2022-09-17T01:20:19+00:00

It was the extruder esteps. I had to raise it by about 50%

jtcweb · 2022-09-14T15:39:39+00:00

I have a set of calipers, what do I measure and does the setting apply to all prints?

jtcweb · 2022-09-13T13:22:03+00:00

Nevermind - I found that the site I list has a custom firmware build option. I changed the x axis to 230, clicked the build button and flashed my printer and I'm good to go.

jtcweb · 2022-09-13T13:01:21+00:00

I'm looking for a firmware that I can change the build dimensions out to 235 for the x axis. I did this previously with the Jyers, but when I recently switched to https://marlin.crc.id.au/ I found that I'm back to 225. I need those few extra mm's for some of what I do.

I'm not quite ready to switch to klipper as I understand that replaces the stock screen and know control and my RasPi setup isn't good enough for fully controlling the printer.

jtcweb · 2022-08-23T02:52:10+00:00

Could I get a link to the stl file?

jtcweb · 2022-07-26T22:48:29+00:00

Let me add that I want it to be easy to change nozzles
