Design a part that fits · STAGE 4 OF 4

Make a Gridfinity bin for your own parts

Take your measured contents and fit notes into the original Gridfinity generator, then save a reproducible bin configuration.

You needYour stage-three measurements, OpenSCAD and the complete Gridfinity Rebuilt source folder. A printer is needed only to verify the physical result.

Reference checked 9 September 2026. Authored exercise; no physical build result is claimed.

Understand the change

  1. Open the real generator

    Download the complete source folder and open gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad. Save an unchanged copy and record the source revision. The authored tray from stage three supplies measurements, not Gridfinity base geometry.

  2. Make one candidate

    Try gridx 2, gridy 1, gridz 3 with gridz_define 0 and one compartment along each axis. These are documented parameter names; the candidate is a starting comparison for the example contents, not a promised fit.

  3. Check useful space

    Read the reported bounding box and infill dimensions. Inspect tabs, scoop, fillets and the opening against the actual contents and removal clearance. Change the footprint or documented compartment options when they interfere.

  4. Save the handoff

    Save the original-based configuration with your completed dimension record. Use the CAIBI assessment to check printer access and build requirements. A first physical test supplies fit evidence that the model cannot.

THE BRIEF

A focused request to try

Use this with a suitable AI assistant. Its response will vary; compare it with the checks below.

Help me adapt Gridfinity Rebuilt to the measurements in this plan. Read the exact source revision first. Map gridx, gridy, gridz, gridz_define, divx and divy to their documented units. Explain the difference between grid size and usable compartment size. Start from one compartment, retain the generator base geometry and compare its reported dimensions with my contents. Do not claim fit from grid units alone.
THE REFERENCE

Worked reference example

Read the example, predict one change, then check the result.

# Gridfinity configuration and fit record

## Starting example, replace with your measurements
Contents: one rectangular object, 60 × 20 × 10 mm
Per-side allowance tested: untested; stage-three example was 0.4 mm
Required internal rectangle for that example: 60.8 × 20.8 mm
Drawer/baseplate space available: measure before selecting a footprint

## Original source
Repository: https://github.com/kennetek/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad
Source commit or downloaded release: record exact revision
File: gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad
Keep the complete src folder with the file.

## Candidate configuration to inspect, not a fit guarantee
Parameter | Candidate | Meaning in the checked source
--- | --- | ---
gridx | 2 | Number of bases along X
gridy | 1 | Number of bases along Y
gridz | 3 | Height value interpreted by gridz_define
gridz_define | 0 | 7 mm increments, excluding stacking lip
divx | 1 | One X compartment
divy | 1 | One Y compartment

Change these values in the original file or Customizer.
Keep remaining options at the source defaults for the first comparison.
Record any later changes to tabs, scoop, lip or holes separately.

## Dimension comparison
Generator Bounding Box: record from OpenSCAD console
Generator Infill Dimensions: record from OpenSCAD console
Narrowest usable space near tabs/scoop/fillets: inspect in model
Contents and removal clearance fit: yes / no / untested
If no: change footprint or documented compartment options and render again.

## Physical check, if fabricated
Material and printer settings:
Test piece or first bin dimensions:
Fit onto intended baseplate:
Contents fit and can be removed:
Source config filename and date:
Photos/measurements, or mark untested:
YOUR PROJECT HANDOFF

Make this project plan your own

Replace the example measurements and complete the source checks. Keep untested results marked as untested.

Use your own dimensions, source revision and observed results. Keep the downloaded file with your source files and build notes.

Check your result

  • Record both the source revision and the exact parameter changes.
  • Distinguish grid units, overall dimensions and usable compartment space.
  • The completed record includes contents measurements and an explicit physical fit result or Untested.

Where this can go wrong

Generator versions can change option names and geometry. Follow the checked source revision. Do not remove source geometry or assertions just to make an incompatible candidate render.
