The gridfinity system is the most fun I've had with 3d printing in years. I've been building new caddies around my specific tools, and downloading other community creations. Thank you for making your original designs open source for everyone to enjoy.
Same here. Can't wait to finish printing everything I need to organize my printing stuff before someone comes up with a newer organizing system and I start all over again!
@@ZackFreedman No joke it's seriously helping me get back into my hobbies. When my ADHD brain can't find the tool it's looking for because it's misplaced at the bottom of a pile I just lose all motivation to keep tinkering. Having a custom dedicated home for everything makes life so much easier.
I'm in awe of how we can share ideas and create custom items. I can't wait to get a 3D printer. One day eventually, hopefully I'm going to buy a cheap & used Ender and just put a few dollars into upgrade parts and make it my own. I build, repair, and customize all sorts of MilSim guns. That carbon fiber nylon is calling out to me lol. There's so much I can do with that machine.
I ♥️ Gridfinity. Suggestion: agree on a standard corner magnet size & position, so that magnets can be added and will align across different designers modules.
I adore the gridfinity system. I'm a total novice and only have a whittle itty bitty Ender 2Pro, but I can just barely eek out some 4x4 pieces and plates if I print them on the diagonal. However, these new models are just making me itchy for a larger print bed. Thanks gridfinity. You're saving me dozens of dollars on storage and organization and will cost me hundreds of dollars in new printers.
Seeing how this storage system has grown is a gorram delight! I've been keeping an eye out for a system that's standardized, and versatile. And I think this is it!
@@grindfi I'm looking at circuit boards that are already built right now because I want this project to be accessible for more people. Problem is, I can't find anything that can supply 20 volt PD, so I think I'm going to have to use a BMS and voltage converter to run a board from a car charger off of a 18650 pack.
You reference to the second Demon core incident was amazing! Maybe it isn't the best idea to lower your neutron reflector with a screwdriver you are holding. RIP Slotin
For jumper wires: affix some small neodymium magnets in a circle to some kind of tray, I use a magnetic parts tray. Then connect the two ends of each jumper to two adjacent magnets. You just need the same number of magnets as number of colours. Of course your jumper wires need to be magnetic - mine are. It keeps the curve in the wire which is usually the same shape it's used in, it's very easy to remove and replace jumpers in the right spot (just dangle the ends close to the right magnets), It's small and compact, and it's aesthetically satisfying -- it's like a rainbow jumper wire flower on your desk.
Printed the bin, bin holder, 7x7 grid, usb holder, caliper holder, and snippers holder so far. I used a glossifier coating on my bin to give myself the illusion of higher structural integrity. It is the largest single print I've printed so far. Thanks for the great content!
12:00 now put those bottles a few magnets at their bottom and stick them to the walls, so you don't make a mess hanging things vertically. Take that gravity!
Dude you are the best combination of organized and chaotic. I swear your fast paced videos scratch all the right parts of my brainy brain. Btw It felt like a crossover episode when you mentioned Botgrinder (also glad he’s a patreon)
Botgrinder (if that even is his real name) has been a super generous Patron since the beginning. We were planning a crossover after Murica got the rona under control, but I moved out of the East Coast before it could happen. Maybe in the future...

I got into 3d printing to make custom router templates for building guitars, but now I want to Gridfinitize everything!! The timing is perfect because this fall I plan to re-configure my woodworking space in the garage. I can't wait to be a part of this community.
I WILL buy a 3D printer and I WILL make cool gridfinity components for my art supplies. This is a threat. That idea came into my mind after you've shown the bottles. They will be perfrct for ink. Throw some holders for the pens and some holders for all the different nibs I use for my ink pens. I can already see it in my head, it's gonna be fun. I'm aware there's some extra requirements and playing around if I want to reliably hold liquids in these bottles, but it's worth a shot. I can always just make a base for the ink brand I use and have the normal bottle on there.
As much as I love 3D Printing, it would be cool if you could collaborate on some ones using alternative materials with other creators like Adam Savage, Robert Dunn, or Peter Brown. You could also see if Jeff Geerling is up for seeing how useful the Gridfinity system is with homelabbing!
I don't think they'd want to work with someone using your mother jokes after 2 years of us losing loved ones. I know I certainly wouldn't. Also Shay do you mean alternative materials? Adam Savage does 3d printing as well... And he isn't a creator he is an actual props designer and presenter that has a TH-cam channel. ... Do ... Do you think Manchester United Football Club are a creator because they have a large sub base and their videos easily get 10m views? Bless... All trees are green but not all green things are trees. Also I think Adam would only work with adults. Try that kid that made the racist Elmo ... He seems about Zacks level. He too has done fuck all in his industry and uses edgy humour to make up for gaps in knowledge and ability!

I vote this to be the "pitching ideas" comment. Here's mine: I'd want to see a gridfinity vertical laptop holder, preferably with some sort of charger hanger too.
It would be less awesome if it wasn’t Open Source though because it wouldn’t have all these community made adapters/tools, and it would be far less accessible.
Thanks for the mention of the "galactic brain kid" and I, even if it was for a sight gag :) I had often wondered if anyone actually committed the 32 hours and a lot of filament to print one!
how bout a grid-finity roomba (minus the vacuum, or not I don't care) assistant that follows you around to make sure you have everything you need at all times?
I calculate now everything in Gridfinity units. Game changer Zach. I'm testing now what prints would do best for my Kallax regal and tons of materials that are in some shoe boxes... yes, I said shoe boxes
The magnetic wall mounts are great for a wrench organizer that sticks to the underside of your locking tool cart lid (becomes the back wall when opened).
If I don't find one I was planning on making a wall board with pegs sticking out, now I know I should also make it to the gridfinity standard. This would actually make the wall plate useful and practical.
Zack! Can you please make a video about what kind/size of screws, bearings, magnets, etc are most useful or easy to use in 3d printing projects? I would love to use these gridfinity boxes but I don't know what I would put in it!
I’ve been trying to make some gridfinity parts. I have only succeeded with the ifixit 54 set. But I’m just not talented enough to do this stuff. Thanks for the Dremel set I had not found that.
Regarding Gridfinity for a specific assortment like that Dremel box set, the 1 year old Quinn Master Technician 428pc tool set has no trays or organizers. It’s meant to go into a tool chest with your own socket trays, pick-apart foam, wrench organizers, etc. For 428 pieces, all that adds up QUICK and you’ll still have less than acceptable results if you sprint for the $1ea 15 position socket rails. It’s a lot for one person so it would be awesome to touch base people who have the same set!
Iv been looking for an organisational system to print for my maker area for ages with no luck and I found your Gridfinity video yesterday and its just what I was looking for Im now so impressed I might Gridfinity my kitchen and home brewing set up too
thanks for reminding me I have a 3d printer and my room is a mess so I should probably fire it up and sort a bit... on a different note, my neurologist finally confirmed that I have adhd, the official diagnosis is just some paper war away.
I don't own a 3d printer nor am I capable of design, but it could be possible to print rails that attach magnetically to the vertical mounted plates that you could fit bins onto and slide out like drawers. If you found a more secure attachment method than magnets you could even make wider plates to attach the rails to for larger drawers or use multiple smaller pieces of specific storage that all belong together Longer arm options for the toolbox arms would make taller compartments possible, and maybe borrowing some of the design concepts from the giant gridfinity piece would strengthen it a bit for use with heavier tools or sets of tools
@@ZackFreedman the issue is that idk what the issue is, I've already watched basically every tutorial ever but it seems un-fixable :( but I'll try again in the discord
WAS THAT A DEMON CORE REFERENCE Also; I neither have, nor know how to use fusion 360 (my expertise is mainly in conventional CAD and architectural software) but I have a bunch of ideas that I just have to share. I feel as though a serious strength of a modularize, open standard system is it's ability to interface with other standardized system. Such as: -Storage jar blocks that use mason-jar lids -A rack/rail baseplate system that can mount on to a standard peg board -Compatibility with K'nex construction toys to make skeletal support frames for your organizers -using things like marbles to make baked in bearings for drawers, lazy susans and little roll-around carts (or you could use real bearings lol) -A series of router templates that allow you to carve gridfinity sockets directly into work surfaces or wood/plastic/aluminum in general ...and more!
I've tested both Chappels system and Gridfinity. Imo, Gridfinity offers better stability and flexibility, but is a bit too small for my needs (big hands). Chappels system is better designed, easier access, but lacks stability and flexibility compared to Gridfinity. Ended up building my own setup, taking the best of both worlds. Huge thanks to both Freedman and Chappel for the idea!
I have gone down below this video to like it 3 separate times. I was disappointed the last two times to learn that I could not like it again. Thank you for your videos.
I got that Dremil tool box and was planing to shove some base plates into it, looks like the work is already done. Printer you got some more work to do!!!
Imma get a 3D printer and make Gridfinity ds station for games, console, charger, and stylus (because nobody can keep up with their styluses). Gridfinity was the final push that convinced me to beg my grandma to buy me a 3D printer.
Pro tip for anyone designing any subdivided storage vessel that ends up going vertical, use drawers in each layer. Disassembling a whole stack just to get to one compartment is a bit smooth brained, even modular storage system manufacturers figured this out awhile ago.
@@ZackFreedman Too obvious, as in "That's so obvious, no wonder no one thought of it yet." Because of course that's how things really are in retrospect.
😮 my new favorite channel! I’ve yet to see so much usefulness with so much dry humor in a single person or place. 😅 I just may have to binge the channel!
I can see the future and the future is a giant gridfinity. With gridfinity workstations, gridfinity chairs, gridfinity mini fridge it's alll gridfinity all the way down
I could see some amazing Chainmaille storage out of that stuffs. (I have a "hobby in a box for it which I love) but if that carrier one gets tuned a bit more I may find myself making one
Great idea. There are already a few flavors of interlocking 3d-printable D&D terrain out there (OpenLock comes to mind) but Gridfinity adapters would be great for organizing and storing the blocks when not in use.
@@cogspace It could also work quite well with foam terrain tiles (either carve the grid pattern into the bottom of the tiles or print a base that interlocks with the grid and acts as an under-layer for the tile).
Seriously, I've been looking around for some desk top storage that I know doesn't exist. Just stumbled on your Gridfinity, and it may just be what I was looking for!
The thumbnail + title made me think this video was about one thing: A toolbox that could contain a soldering station “and more.” Didn’t seem obvious to me this was a broad-spectrum follow-up to the open-source release of Gridfinity. Love it, but I missed the video originally because the the thumbnail seemed to tell me everything I wanted to know about the “soldering station and more” toolbox. ;)
a paint can holder for paints of all standard sizes, sprue holders, indents for llabels to be put in, designs to make injection molded versions, etc would be great. ammunition holders would be controversial but interesting with kinds for each kind of ammunition ranging from .22 to 700 nitro (nitro is 100$+ a round)
Hmmm... How about a project to help you get *other* things of the other box. Specifically, a laser pointer on a pan/tilt turret that is coupled to an ESP32 that is running a web server that contains a database of all of your bits & bobs and where they are in the shop. When you give it an item request--or a whole list--it displays the item(s) on a screen *AND* the laser cycles through illuminating a translucent hemisphere mounted on the front of each drawer/box/etc. That will allow you to easily find and grab everything you need for a project with minimal wiring/etc. Does that sound reasonable?
I’d love something like this! My only concern would be the laser safety, but that’s manageable. Could also use other methods like integrated LEDs that light up/blink on the associated module etc. The organization/tracking but would be useful enough as is too (Open Source Warehousing/Inventory Management etc)
I also want to make a “Parts Vending Machine” someday where you basically insert a BOM (or just manually insert items like a normal vending machine) and it dumps out the required parts from bulk supplies, and this software could help that too.
@@ericlotze7724 I hope you spin one up! 1. It only needs to be a 5mW laser, so it should be perfectly safe. 2. The whole reason to run with a laser turret--besides being able to brag that your shop has a working laser turret, of course!--is to avoid having to wire up hundreds of LEDs and associated circuitry. Ugh.

Compliant mechanisms might be something to look into. Takes away the need to source magnets
FYI if you give vase mode drawers and containers a texture, they won't warp. It's kind of amazing how little is needed to strengthen them

Gridfinity was the final push that convinced me to beg my grandma to buy me a 3D printer.
things like the demon core joke are why i love this channel
Pro tip for anyone designing any subdivided storage vessel that ends up going vertical, use drawers in each layer. Disassembling a whole stack just to get to one compartment is a bit smooth brained, even modular storage system manufacturers figured this out awhile ago.
I’d love to use that tool box as a lunch box !
Now I'm wondering how we went this long without Gridfinity Bento
@@ZackFreedman Too obvious, as in "That's so obvious, no wonder no one thought of it yet." Because of course that's how things really are in retrospect.
😮 my new favorite channel! I’ve yet to see so much usefulness with so much dry humor in a single person or place. 😅
I just may have to binge the channel!
This guy is so good I don't skip the ads.
The tool box design is awesome, I may have to print one for all of my junk.
nice demon core reference
Even if I’m not working on an electronics project I watch these videos just for zack’s script writing and jokes
Sometimes you do need a gridfinity box for your gridfinity boxes ; so you can gridfinity organize while you gridfinity organize
@Zach nice phoropter shirt! Also, sweet storage solution!
might have found my new favourite kind of video. this is like xmas, thx for putting all the work into this
This is awesome! I especially love the modular toolbox, gotta get one (or like, five) of those at some point
Ooo I really like that toolbox system for army containers for my tabletop war games
I can see the future and the future is a giant gridfinity. With gridfinity workstations, gridfinity chairs, gridfinity mini fridge it's alll gridfinity all the way down
I could see some amazing Chainmaille storage out of that stuffs. (I have a "hobby in a box for it which I love) but if that carrier one gets tuned a bit more I may find myself making one
Glad to see more gridfinity models! Seems like the community is going ham with them! Nice work Zack!
I honestly just love your content. Reduces my depression level whenever I see you've uploaded.
That demon core reference was great.
ikr
I can't stop smiling every time I watch one of our magnificent overlord's videos.
It occurred to me while watching this video that tabletop gaming terrain could work well with a system like this.
Dnd gridfinity mashup
Great idea. There are already a few flavors of interlocking 3d-printable D&D terrain out there (OpenLock comes to mind) but Gridfinity adapters would be great for organizing and storing the blocks when not in use.
@@cogspace It could also work quite well with foam terrain tiles (either carve the grid pattern into the bottom of the tiles or print a base that interlocks with the grid and acts as an under-layer for the tile).
You can use a bigger nozzle for three vase mode stuff
You, good Sir, are the true Jim Carrey of pun engineering! I'm lovin' it. Please continue.
Seriously, I've been looking around for some desk top storage that I know doesn't exist. Just stumbled on your Gridfinity, and it may just be what I was looking for!
I love this community.
I'm glad you said suspicious instead of _sus_
The thumbnail + title made me think this video was about one thing: A toolbox that could contain a soldering station “and more.” Didn’t seem obvious to me this was a broad-spectrum follow-up to the open-source release of Gridfinity. Love it, but I missed the video originally because the the thumbnail seemed to tell me everything I wanted to know about the “soldering station and more” toolbox. ;)
Someone with a CNC should cut out that giant base plate!
a paint can holder for paints of all standard sizes, sprue holders, indents for llabels to be put in, designs to make injection molded versions, etc would be great. ammunition holders would be controversial but interesting with kinds for each kind of ammunition ranging from .22 to 700 nitro (nitro is 100$+ a round)
Poseidons kiss at 2:28 blows me every time.
Yes. Please more Gridfinity videos!
Thanks for the shout-out's Zack!
Thank you for taking the time to create, edit, and share.
But most importantly, thanks for the puns :)
Hmmm... How about a project to help you get *other* things of the other box. Specifically, a laser pointer on a pan/tilt turret that is coupled to an ESP32 that is running a web server that contains a database of all of your bits & bobs and where they are in the shop. When you give it an item request--or a whole list--it displays the item(s) on a screen *AND* the laser cycles through illuminating a translucent hemisphere mounted on the front of each drawer/box/etc. That will allow you to easily find and grab everything you need for a project with minimal wiring/etc.
Does that sound reasonable?
I’d love something like this! My only concern would be the laser safety, but that’s manageable. Could also use other methods like integrated LEDs that light up/blink on the associated module etc.
The organization/tracking but would be useful enough as is too (Open Source Warehousing/Inventory Management etc)
I also want to make a “Parts Vending Machine” someday where you basically insert a BOM (or just manually insert items like a normal vending machine) and it dumps out the required parts from bulk supplies, and this software could help that too.
@@ericlotze7724 I hope you spin one up!
1. It only needs to be a 5mW laser, so it should be perfectly safe.
2. The whole reason to run with a laser turret--besides being able to brag that your shop has a working laser turret, of course!--is to avoid having to wire up hundreds of LEDs and associated circuitry. Ugh.
The toolbox is insane, will definitely print once ready
Oooh look, I'm in that there internet video! Thanks for the shout out 😊
