Gridfinity Tips: 3D Printing Your New Workshop Organization System

Ғылым және технология

So it's been a few months since the lovably bizarre KZreadr Zack Freedman of Voidstar Lab released his "Gridfinity" 3d printed workshop organization system, based on the 3d printed organizer ideas of Alexander Chappel. And I don't know about you, but given how much I LOVE organization tips, diy, and workshop organization, I have been hard at work gridfinitifying my entire life. And in this video, I wanna share with you some of the tips, tricks, and words of wisdom that I've come up with after hundreds of hours and kilos of 3d printer filament devoted to this lofty project.

    Absolutely, jumping in with a full build plate without verifying smaller is a recipe for disaster. Note this applies outside of Gridfinity prints as well, especially for fit and printability issues, or verifying that something is big, small, strong, flexible enough.

    Listen, there is one thing I've learned from this video, and you've earned a sub because of this. "Analysis Paralysis", never heard of it before, but it fits me so well. I don't enjoy Art, simply because I hate the feeling of starting with a "blank canvas", where there's no real clear goal, besides maybe an idea of sorts. However, I love tinkering and practical problem solving. Once I know where I want to get to, and once I've drawn up a plan I think that'll fit these needs, I can work on it. But before there's a plan, a solution I want to create; I cannot work. On anything. Be it projects in school, or be it 3D Printing and tinkering. I was fairly confident I have ocd, due to compulsive actions and thoughts. Even if this was just a joke about OCD in the video, this genuinely made something snap in my head and I will try to be less harsh on myself for this issue. Thank you, even if this was just overanalyzed and completely besides the point of what "Analysis Paralysis" was meant to indicate here. PS, if you even had the patience to read this: Impressive production quality for the size of your channel. If this is where you're starting out, I can't wait to see what your standards will be once you reach the 100k's

    Thanks so much for sharing your touching personal story with me. I read it with great interest, actually :) I personally DO have a form of OCD, though it mostly manifests in my relationships (worrying about losing people) than in my physical space. That said, I definitely am a little obsessive over things like 3D printing, organization, etc. I can tell you from experience that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy REALLY helped me, because it's basically teaching you how to not give your troublesome and intrusive thoughts too much attention. Basically, you learn to say "eh, there's my brain doing that thing again. It doesn't mean anything. What was it I was doing again? Oh, right, writing this email." It really helped me a LOT.. check it out. Also, thanks so much for the kind words. I hope to grow the channel, and every sub counts, so make sure you're one of them :)

    I bought Alex’s system over a year ago and used it to organize my office at work. Then, as I was building my new wood shop I saw Zach’s video. So I printed a handful of both and opted to stick with Alex’s for my shop setup. My shop is actually very similar to Alex’s in terms of the types of tools I have and the types of projects I do so it made sense. Also I found the bins a bit more sturdy and easier to print. But you’ve convinced me to go back and give the gridfinity system a second chance. Maybe it’s expanded to the point where it’ll be worth using to organize my new office that’s being built as we speak. Great video, well produced and articulate, funny but still to the point. I also had layer adhesion problems when printing the gridfinity bins, but I also usually print around 200. So I’ll try upping the temps. And lastly I couldn’t agree more about with your advice to just print one until you’re confident. I’ve had to learn that one the hard way too many times 😅

    Thanks so much for the indepth comment Robert, it means a lot to me that you'd spend the time replying. Yeah, Gridfinity has grown, and also, you can make it whatever you want, with these auto-generating tools and stuff. I don't like proprietary systems, it's why I love Bitcoin, and open-source stuff on my computer, and Prusa, as opposed to other machines. I like open source and hwat it stands for. That said, if I'd already printed so much of Alex's stuff, I might not re-print it, I'd just make the NEXT project Gridfinity :)

    @@thenextlayer I'm definitely with you on the value of open source. As a teacher SO much of the technology in schools is just clever marketing designed to trap schools into proprietary ecosystems. SMART boards, TI calculators, Chromebooks, Ipads just to name a few. Anytime I get a technology for my classroom makerspace I always try my hardest to make sure it's opensource and all the programs I teach kids on are free.

    Good video and solid tips! Liked and subbed. I’m new to 3d printing and am still trying to grasp the basics. My one word of caution - avoid organization for organizations sake. organization is a means to an end - it is NOT the end. You can spend all of your time and money making a great system that perfectly fits every one of your needs and looks fantastic. Or, you can do that which is necessary to enhance your workflow, allowing you to do actual (read “paying”) work better. I’m way (way, way, way) older than you, and I’ve re-learned this fundamental lesson way too many times.

I just print little 90 degree angles that fill the gab of the grid to the box it should fit into. With this you can reuse the grids and it adjusts just right to the box.

    You did a terrific job for a first video! One recommendation I would share is to sit back just a little bit. You seem like a naturally expressive person and I can see your gestures peeking in at the bottom of the frame. Sitting back about two feet will let you get more of your upper body and your hands in the frame. It makes for really compelling video when your gestures are part of your narrative. If you'd like to see something that corroborates that, watch the videos of any late night talk show hosts. Seriously great job man

    I somehow managed to get PETG dialed in on my Ender 3 (translucent green Polymaker) and have been printing bins as I’ve needed them. I haven’t printed the grid bases yet because right now I’m figuring out how many bins I need and what I’m going to eventually put them in. I like the idea of different colors for different things, so I may go that route soon. I just finished building my Switchwire so I may print some bins on that to help me tune it, since I have 20 or so bins for comparison. I’ve also got different size nozzles for that one so I may try that out. Thanks for the great tips!

    I have several tips: Print extra baseplates, and print smaller ones to combine. You'll need them eventually and they store well. They glue together if you need more stability. If you have a corner on a baseplate that curls but otherwise prints ok, you can trim them down and still use it as long as it doesn't need to line up with another baseplate DON'T glue bins into baseplates unless you have no choice. There will always be something you will want to reconfigure, or redesign, or maybe you replaced that tool and need a new bin to fit it. I gave up on color coding. Either have a system and be prepared to keep the colors you use on hand most of the time, or just go chaos rainbow and print with whatever you have. I am reserving one color for sharps or other dangerous tools (blaze orange) and the rest is whatever I have to use. Far better on your sanity, and that means every time I get a new color, I print an extra bin or tray as my test print. Gridfinity hot spares on standby!

Your tips about adhesion and heat and print quality concerns would have scared me off. If your printer isn't tuned already and you don't know how to print with a filament, no matter what you print it'll probably not turn out great.

    For the most part, 3D printing is prototyping with immediate results. You might waste 1/4 roll of filament printing calibration and test parts before you have things dialed in correctly on a new setup. Even with a perfectly dialed in printer minor changes can require additional recalibration efforts. In turn, you're going to have a lot of waste. If you are designing and printing functional parts, you'll go through several revisions. If you are printing something someone else designed and printed, they designed it to be printer on their printer, and you may have to have additional cooling for overhangs, higher temps for the same filament, etc...which means more waste printing test pieces of the part until you have it dialed in. The more experience you get with printing, the less waste you'll end up having. 98% of us are learning on our own, and getting "perfect tips" from others who probably have waste bins that are twice as full as ours. The way to approach it with your wife - don't think of this as a waste of material, think of the used material as an investment in learning. Mine seems to enjoy the money I make with my current job where designing and printing parts for them is part of my daily tasks...several rolls were sacrificed in the making of this career, but totally worth it.
