UPDATE 1/27/25: I have just posted my standing socket space savers for this set. This set will save 0.5 - 1.0 grid per tray used.

This Model

This model is for socket sizes up to 80mm in Diameter and uses the new half-grid bottom which allows for use on standard Gridfinity bases but gives placement options in 21x21mm increments. giving you 4 times the placement options as the standard bottom. See the details listed below for more information and I hope you enjoy this model as much as the other Makers who have changed the way they organize their tools with these sets, Including myself.

• you can still use regular GF trays along side my Half-Grid trays on the same gridfinity bases

Use the link above to browse the growing collection of my trays If you have a tray you would like made, please let me know in a DM and I will add it to the list.

Let me know if you have any issues with any of your tools not fitting a tray, let me know so I can resolve it and keep my trays fully universal.

Intro to my universal trays

I was tired of trays for specific socket sets or tools (or just had no labels and was way too condensed). So I made a simple model and expanded it to fit any possible size while still being 100% click and print. This setup sacrifices some space saving but maximizes visibility and simplicity. Enjoy, rate, and let me know if there are any issues not noted. If you find you need a specific size or item I don't have here, let me know. Lastly let me know if there are any improvements you would like to see made.

Features

• fit virtually any set OR random pile of tools -you measure your own and print the appropriate tray pieces
• based on Gridfinity standard - will fit all standard sized Gridfinity bases
• 6x2mm magnet inserts. help keep the tray from coming out of their spot in the grid
• Fake-A-Magnet - A functional replacement for magnets - pin insert to hold the tray down
• optional V2 - Snap Fit Labels - Doesn't require magnets or glue, Stays secure (and still removable) with the new H-clip.
• half-size bottom grid - Some of my trays required half-sized grids to save on space and not waste filament. I came up with a mini-grid that allows for half size grid utilization while still fitting a standard GF base - you can still use regular GF trays along side my Half-Grid trays.
• Check out my "lowest profile possible" Gridfinity base if you are in need of a good base with the magnet inserts. see details below in the base plate instruction.

Instructions

1. This is the Standing socket set that is modeled to fit up to 80mm diameter sockets, with my Gridfinity compatible, Half-grid bottom, see my Universal tool box collection for other universal placement options such as the low profile deep socket options up to 112mm in length (so far).

    

   NOTE: Please review the Space Savers set prior to printing this set if you wish to maximize your grid space by printing double and triple socket trays while sacrificing a little customization. If space is not a priority, It will still be worth your time to review to see if you want to start there.

    

2. download and open the profile using Bambu Studio (or your preferred slicer for 3mf print files like Orca Slicer).
    

3. Take note of the current socket length(height standing). If this height +10mm is taller than or equal to your storage drawer height, you will have to either choose a deeper drawer or go to the horizontal sets listed above. If your set is close to the height limit (socket height + 10mm), you can do a test print of one single tray and test it with the socket in it while inserted in a gridfinity grid base of your choosing or use my Minimum height baseplates(with magnets). NOTE: you can find a skeletonized version of the Gridfinity grid WITHOUT magnets that removes a few mm from the grid base if you are close to fitting and don't want to go to horizontal. 
    

   NOTE: If you use a deep drawer, there is no limit on height, but you will probably want to utilize all the magnet slots to prevent tipping of the trays.
    

4. measure your Socket diameter (do not use the socket size printed on the socket to select a tray)
   
    
5. round the diameter up to the nearest whole number (ex. like the above, anything between 17.01-18.00mm goes to 18mm)
    
6. Add a new empty plate and select it
   
    
7. Right click on the model for the needed size (in this ex. its 18mm) and hit clone, it should clone to the selected empty plate
   

8. Repeat for all socket sizes needed, click the organize plate button, and then print.

   NOTE: I put the Top surface facing down, This makes the top surface much more smooth than before and holds the pattern of the build plate used, Including the 3d effects plates with carbon fiber and sparkle rainbow finishes.

Labeling

1. go to my profile or click the link here to find the V2 - Snap Fit Labels, premade with an exhausting amount of common sizes (took a while making them all). They are very easy to print, use only one color change, and snap fit together. DM me your custom text if you think it might want to be added to the permanent profile for anything you make if you think someone else might need it!

Base Tray

All Baseplates - Low Profile - With magnet insert - All sizes with profiles for A1, X1/P1, and A1 mini

Half-Size grid - Low Profile - filler baseplates - These are .5 x 1-6, used for filling spaces in the drawer that didn't fit a full grid. Particularly useful with my half-sized grid based trays that can lock these in place with another grid but can be used as side fillers as well. fill them with my .5x1 blank covers to give it a finished look if wanted.

I created a specific base for my use case to get the lowest profile POSSIBLE. This maximizes the vertical space available for your tools while in the trays. It is a just standard Gridfinity tray but cut as low as possible while still having the magnet slots available. I appreciate everyone who wants to take a look and use it for these trays but my base tray is not a requirement. Any tray can be used especially if you already have a system so do not feel like you need to switch over unless my tray provides something that you need. (such as the magnet inserts, less filament, or the lowered profile compared to stock).

MAGNETS

1. If you wish to use magnets or my Print-A-Magnet magnet replacement to secure the trays, use the Secure-A-Magnet plate.
2. Clone just a couple of the magnet securing inserts to test the fit, and print.

3. Insert the key in the desired position based on where in the grid it will sit. If they are a tight fit and not seated all the way, turn the tray upright and use a hard flat surface to press harder to get them to seat all the way in. The fit should be tight, if it is loose then the magnets will be loose.

    

   Resizing: If you find the fit loose or cannot fit them at all, resize the insert X and Y axis only(not Z), up or down by 0.05mm. once the fit is good, clone as many as you need (# of trays X magnets per tray)

   

    

4. Insert your magnets or Print-A-Magnet then press it into the Grid
