Gridfinity Rebuilt in OpenSCAD

A ground-up port (with a few extra features) of the stock gridfinity bins in OpenSCAD. Open to feedback, because I could not feasibly test all combinations of bins, so some of them may have issues. I tried my best to exactly match the original gridfinity dimensions, but some of the geometry is slightly incorrect (mainly fillets). However, I think they are negligible differences, and will not appear in the printed model.

Features

  • any size of bin (width/length/height)
  • any number of compartments (along both X and Y axis)
  • togglable scoop
  • togglable tabs, split tabs, and tab alignment
  • togglable holes (with togglable supportless printing hole structures)

The printable holes allow your slicer to bridge the gap (using the technique shown here) so that supports are not needed.

Recomendations

For best results, use a version of OpenSCAD with the fast-csg feature. As of writing, this feature is only implemented in the development snapshots. To enable the feature, go to Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg. On my computer, this sped up rendering from 10 minutes down to a couple of seconds, even for comically large bins.

Enjoy!
