Would love the ability to move the location of the wall cutouts on the basic cup. Currently they default to the centre of the bin and can't be moved. I would like to be able to specify the location, for example, 2 grids or perhaps 80mm from the end of the x-axis.

This would be very handy for cutlery bins for kitchen drawers. The wall gaps need to be lined up regardless of bin size for these as they are all sitting side by side, making it easier to get your finger in to grab a spoon sort of thing.

If you stack another container on top of a container with a label, there is a gap between two containers, but there's no gap if a container is stacked on top of a spacer.
Left: container on top of a labeled container.
Right: container on top of a spacer.

I can't seem to find a tip jar for this project anywhere. Forgive me if I am overlooking something wildly obvious.

This project is so incredibly useful... you have no idea how much I appreciate it!

Hi there

I just found your awesome openscad gridfinity project. Thanks for that!
I try to create a basic cup with internal flat floor. But whatever settings I choose, it does not work. From my understanding: if "efficient floor" is not checked, it should create a internal flat floor?

I've printed a set of the drawers and the chest is an exact fit to the drawer so the drawer doesn't really fit in unless forced. There needs to be a bit of clearance added to the chest so the drawer slides in and out nicely. Clearance could be a parameter, I've noticed this on another OpenSCAD drawer model, default being 0.7mm.

Pulled the zip file down unzipped and opened "gridfinity_drawers.scad" and tried a few other and did the same thing.

I get the following error message - > ERROR: Assertion '(version()[0] > 2022)' failed: "This script requires a newer version of openSCAD. http://openscad.org" in file modules/gridfinity_modules.scad, line 217

I checked the website and it's OpenSCAD version 2021.01 which is the version I have installed... Any ideas what would be causing this?

Thanks,

I don't see the setting listed in the documentation, but there is a checkbox in the program, and it seems to do nothing. Have tried changing various wall pattern and divider settings to no effect.

Unrelated - also having the missing variables issue for baseplate generation, restoring the old variable names remedied some issues, but the missing Sdix remains for me, and it won't generate a full grid unless in baseplate also a lid mode.

Feature request - A baseplate/lid that is a "lite" version, missing magnet holes for efficiency.

Thanks for all the work you've put into this already.

When I enable baseplates on the drawer, the drawer does not have the bottom base, but throws a warning: Ignoring unknown module 'grid_block'. Please revert the base STL and my work workaround with tiling the base model. Also please merge the efficient shelves that I've made after you merged the PR.

When trying to use wallpattern on the chamber divider walls (i.e. wallpattern_enabled=true and wallpattern_dividers_enabled=true) the pattern works only when the chamber_wall_thickness is less than or equal to 2 * wall_thickness. So, if wall_thickness=0.95 the pattern won't show up if chamber_wall_thickness > 1.9. The preview of the render looks glitchy when chamber_wall_thickness is exactly equal to 2 * wall_thickness Example pictures are below:

Normal:

When wall thickness is exactly 2x:

Just a tiny bit more than 2x:

Just a little bit less than 2x:

opening gridfinity_silverware.scad outputs this error.

WARNING: variable center not specified as parameter in file gridfinity_silverware.scad, line 139
the object output with this error is below.

Reference: #12

This release removed support for labels. Please add them back. Fwiw, the files are so wildly and wonderfully flexible, might as well keep all the options [instead of removing them] for folks to use [or not] as desired.

abel = "disabled"; // ["disabled", "left", "right", "center", "leftchamber", "rightchamber", "centerchamber"]
// Width of the label in number of units, or zero means full width
label_width = 0;  // .01

Using gridfinity_basic_cup.scad and setting position to either "center" or "zero" (as opposed to the default: "default") and then with extention_tabs_enabled = true and either extention_x_enabled = true or extention_y_enabled = true, the extension tabs end up getting placed as separate pieces from the main bin.

This is just one example, but the different values of position and extension (x or y) put the tabs is various different places.

I dont not why but baseplate is cut on both sides

Allow the units to be entered in mm instead of units of 42.
The grid size should stay the same.

Is the wall pattern functionality broken?

When I try to use wall pattern in any of the primary .scad files, it only seems to work for one wall?

If any of the dimensions of a baseplate exceeds 6 then you get an:
