A 3D-printed grid system is a modular storage solution typically used to organize drawers, workspaces, and workshops. These systems usually consist of 3D-printed base plates with a grid structure and customizable modular boxes that fit into the grid. The open-source Gridfinity system, created by Zack Freedman, is a popular example. Gridfinity uses a 42x42mm grid. The goal is to create easily accessible storage for tools and other items to optimize workflow.
Key features of these systems include modularity and customization. Users can design and 3D-print base plates and boxes in various sizes and shapes to fit specific needs. Online generators allow users to input dimensions and preferences, such as label tabs or rounded edges. The open-source nature of systems like Gridfinity means many free resources and design files are available online. While many designs are available for free, some can be purchased on sites like Etsy. To get started, one would need a 3D printer and filament.
