Here is a very parametric and ✨ Configured✨ Gridfinity Base Grid and Bin from Fusion 360 file with 3MF's. I'll keep adding and updating as we develop new items.

14 Oct 2023

• All F3D and 3MF files are now to Gridfinity spec.
• Reduced Grid Base Material needs – Shorter Z height, smaller magnet areas
• Included options for Bins
  • Mag = Magnets - much faster and less material use to print without magnet holes.
  • BF = Bin Fillet - easier to get your
  • SOLID = Solid Bin so you can modify to your liking

This is an actually parametric Grid and Bin model generator

Parametric Fusion 360

• Upload and open F3D file in Fusion 360 (free) and then open parameters.
  • Modify > Change Parameters.
  • Edit any field and watch it update.
  • Sometimes things will break, so scale back your change and see if it works that way.

Key Parameter Fields:

• GridX: Number of Cells in X (Base Grid)
• GridY: Number of Cells in Y (Base Grid)
• GridXY: Grid Internal Cell Size in MM. 42mm is standard. affects Grid Bases and Bin sizing.
• BinTall: Height in MM
• BinWide: Unit of GridXY (cell size)
• BinDeep: Unit of GridXY (cell size)
  Bins 1x1 will cause a warning but shouldn't affect the model.

Parameters in Fusion 360 (red lines are key parameters to change for customizations.

Grids Types

NESTABLE GRID BASES - Simply mirror in slicer to get the other sides.

Change the [Side]GridOffset to 0mm for nestable sides on the Grid Bases. Pre-made 3MF are named as such:

• -0S – Nestable Grid
• -2S – Has two adjacent thickened outer walls and two nestable (mirror one way to get other side)
• -4S – All four outer walls are "outside walls"

Configured options in Fusion 360

The CONFIGURED-V10.f3z file now has configured options to make it easier to change common features that are tricky otherwise.

See our video on the new Configurations feature.

Print Settings

• PLA - 8-10% infill, Support Cubic.
• No support or Brim is Needed.
• 0.2mm Layer Height

Our Favorite Things for 3D Printing

Includes Affiliate Links

• Nano Adhesive - Stop using glue sticks - this is 1000% better 😉
• 6mm Magnets - fits magnet holes in
• Plastic Debur Knife - clean up plastic edges (brims)
• Assembly Glue

Known Problems

• The pattern feature will throw an error if the Bin is not more than 1x1. It shouldn't affect anything, however.
• See notes in parameters for known limits
