Gridfinity

Overview

Gridfinity is a free to use storage system by Zack Freedman based on standardised units (7mm) and modularity.

Design Reference

Notes

  • For including magnets in bases, these should be 6mm diameter and 2mm thick.
    • My personal convention is that for Gridfinity, magnets will always be pointing north up.
      • A base plate would have the magnet’s south pole glued to it and north would point up.
      • A Gridfinity item would have the magnet’s north pole glued to it and south would point down.
      • The northern exposed magnet in the base plate would attract the southern exposed magnet in the Gridfinity item.
  • PLA is sufficient for all my Gridfinity prints to date.
  • The Gridfinity system works really nicely and is extensive, but unless you are using drawers to hold the Gridfinity items, magnets seem to be a critical factor for base stability - particularly for taller items. I find these do tilt a little easily even when they are not the outermost items.
    • I need to go back and add a lot more magnets to some of my Gridfinity things on my shelves.
