Open to feedback, because I could not feasibly test all combinations of bins. I tried my best to exactly match the original gridfinity dimensions, but some of the geometry is slightly incorrect (mainly fillets). However, I think they are negligible differences, and will not appear in the printed model. + +Full documentation can be found at the project's [website](https://kennetek.github.io/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad/). + +The project can also be found on [Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/274917-gridfinity-rebuilt-in-openscad) if you want to support the project. + +[]() +[]() +[]() +[]() +[]() +[]() + +## Features +- any size of bin (width/length/height) +- height by units, internal depth, or overall size +- any number of compartments (along both X and Y axis) +- togglable scoop +- togglable tabs, split tabs, and tab alignment +- togglable holes (with togglable supportless printing hole structures) +- manual compartment construction (make the most wacky bins imaginable) +- togglable lip (if you don't care for stackability) +- dividing bases (if you want a 1.5 unit long bin, for instance) +- removed material from bases to save filament +- vase mode bins + +### Printable Holes +The printable holes allow your slicer to bridge the gap inside the countersunk magnet hole (using the technique shown [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8FbHTcB05w)) so that supports are not needed. + +[]() +[]() + +## Recommendations +For best results, use a version of OpenSCAD with the fast-csg feature. As of writing, this feature is only implemented in the [development snapshots](https://openscad.org/downloads.html). To enable the feature, go to Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg. On my computer, this sped up rendering from 10 minutes down to a couple of seconds, even for comically large bins. + +## Enjoy! + +[]() + +[Gridfinity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra_9zU-mnl8) by [Zack Freedman](https://www.youtube.com/c/ZackFreedman/about) + +This work is licensed under the same license as Gridfinity, being a +[MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT). + +[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
