Gridfinity Angled Ruler Holder

This is a Gridfinity-compatible angled holder designed for rulers, small templates, drawing guides, stencils, and other thin flat tools.

The slots are angled at approximately 80 degrees, keeping the rulers easy to see, easy to grab, and more stable than a fully vertical holder. The narrow footprint makes it useful for desk setups, maker benches, classroom supplies, craft stations, and drawer organization.

Two sizes are included:

1x5 version for shorter rulers, around 15-20 cm
1x6 version for longer rulers, around 25-30 cm

The holder has multiple parallel channels, allowing you to separate different rulers or templates instead of stacking them flat in a drawer. It is especially useful for clear acrylic rulers, geometry templates, metal rulers, small craft rulers, and stencil sheets.

They are separate prints, but they work well together as a practical drawer system for rulers, pens, stationery, a calculator, and small desk tools.

Compatibility

Designed for thin rulers, templates, stencils, and drawing guides.

Before printing, check:

Ruler length
Ruler thickness
Tool width
Whether the tool has raised grips or bulky edges
Which Gridfinity footprint fits your drawer best
