Gridfinity Box Generator

Generates Gridfinity-compatible storage bins in 42 mm grid units, with compartments, stacking lip, magnet pockets and an optional front label.

How to use it

1. Run Plugins → Generators → Gridfinity Bin.

2. Set the footprint in grid units (X × Y) and the height in 7 mm units.

3. Optionally add compartments, magnet pockets (6 × 2 mm) and a front label.

4. Slice and print. No supports needed.

Options

• Compartments across / deep: splits the bin into separate pockets.

• Stacking lip: lets another bin sit on top.

• Magnet pockets: four per grid cell, for 6 × 2 mm magnets.

• Front label: text engraved into the front wall.

• UltraLight hollow base: the foot is hollowed to a 1 mm shell over a 1 mm floor. Saves material and time and adds about 4 mm of usable height. Used for bins with one compartment and no magnets.

• Floor and divider thickness are adjustable; the wall is a fixed 1.2 mm.

Good to know

• One grid unit is 41.5 × 41.5 mm outside, which leaves 0.5 mm play in a 42 mm grid.

• Foot and stacking lip have exact 45° faces, from STLs shipped with the plugin. The lip has a 45° support underneath instead of an overhang, and a flat top instead of a knife edge.

• An independent implementation of the published dimensions. Not affiliated with Zack Freedman or the Gridfinity community.

• Formerly Parametric Box Generator. Version 2.0 replaces the box with Gridfinity bins.

Changes in this version

Fixes missing floors in compartmented bins. Each compartment now uses one connected negative cut, avoiding the non-manifold boolean result produced by overlapping rounded cuts.

Changes in this version

Rebuilt after the UltraLight bin design: hollow base with a 1 mm shell over a 1 mm floor (new option, on by default), 45° support under the stacking lip instead of an overhang, and a lip with exact 45° faces, 0.25 mm fit to the foot and a flat top. Foot and lip are no longer printed as 0.2 mm stairs. The wall thickness option is gone; the wall is a fixed 1.2 mm.

• One grid unit is 41.5 × 41.5 mm outside, which leaves 0.5 mm play in a 42 mm grid.

• The base and lip slopes are printed in 0.2 mm steps, because the plugin API cannot create arbitrary shapes.
