Modules
gridfinityInit (gridx, gridy, height, height_internal, length)
Initializes the top part of the bin (walls and solid section). All bins have to use this module, and have the compartments cut out from it.
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| gridx | { n>0 | n∈R } | number of bases along the x-axis |
| gridy | { n>0 | n∈R } | number of bases along the y-axis |
| height | { n>0 | n∈R } | height of the bin, in millimeters (but not exactly). See the height() function for more info. |
| height_internal | { n>0 | n∈R } | height of the internal block. Can be lower than bin height to save filament on custom bins. default of 0 means use the calculated height. |
| length | { n>0 | n∈R } | length of one unit of the base. default: 42 (The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.) |
// Example: generate a 3x3x6 bin with a 42mm unit size

cutEqual(n_divx = 3, n_divy = 3, style_tab = 0, enable_scoop = true);

height(6);
// Example: height for a bin that can fit (at maximum) a 30mm high object inside
height(30, 1, true, false);

cutEqual (n_divx, n_divy, style_tab, enable_scoop)

cut (x, y, w, h, t, s)
Cuts a single compartment into the bin at the provided location with the provided attributes. The coordinate system for compartments originates (0,0) at the bottom left corner of the bin, where 1 unit is the length of 1 base. Positive X and positive Y are in the same direction as the global coordinate system.
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x | { n>=0 | n∈R } | X coordinate of the compartment (position of left edge of compartment) |
| y | { n>=0 | n∈R } | Y coordinate of the compartment (position of bottom edge of compartment) |
| w | { n>0 | n∈R } | Width of the compartment, in base units (1 unit = 1 length) |
| h | { n>0 | n∈R } | Height of the compartment, in base units (1 unit = 1 length) |
| style_tab | { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } | how the tabs for labels are generated for this compartment. • (0) Full tabs across the entire compartment • (1) automatic tabs - left aligned tabs on the left edge - right aligned tabs on right edge - center tabs otherwise • (2) left aligned tabs • (3) center aligned tabs • (4) right aligned tabs • (5) no tabs |
| s | boolean | toggles the fillet on bottom edge for easy removal of items, only for this specific compartment |
// Example:
// this cuts two compartments that are both 1 wide and 2 high.
// One is on the bottom left, and the other is at the top right.
gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
cut(0, 0, 1, 2, 0, true);
cut(2, 1, 1, 2, 0, true);
}
cut_move (x, y, w, h)
Moves all of its children from the global origin to the center of the area that a compartment would normally fill, and uses them to cut from the bin. This allows you to easily make custom cutouts in the bin.
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x | { n>=0 | n∈R } | X coordinate of the area (position of left edge) |
| y | { n>=0 | n∈R } | Y coordinate of the area (position of bottom edge) |
| w | { n>0 | n∈R } | Width of the area, in base units (1 unit = 1 length) |
| h | { n>0 | n∈R } | Height of the area, in base units (1 unit = 1 length) |
// Example:
// cuts a cylindrical hole of radius 5
// hole center is located 1/2 units from the right edge of the bin, and 1 unit from the top
gridfinityInit(3, 3, height(6), 0, 42) {
cut_move(x=2, y=1, w=1, h=2) {
cylinder(r=5, h=100, center=true);
}
