Description

I really like the Gridfinity Case by Aiko since but the the model is extremely resource hungy - without any sacrifice in functionality or robustness i shaved down everything to yield about 33 % savings and added a list of other cool features

Key Features

  • 5x4x6U, 9U and 12UGridfinity
  • roughly 220x190x50 mm for 6U (~71 mm for 9U; 92 mm for 12U) 
  • top and bottom Grid (no parts spilling out)
  • resource friendly, yet rugged
  • stands upright in 5 orientations
  • 12 mm label slot in the front
  • dozens of color combinations and logos for you to pick

for your convinience i've included various logos if you want to store your printer accessories in the box - if you miss a logo, just drop me a line

 

BOM

  • 6x M3x30 screws
  • 2x M3x16 or 2x M3x18 screws
  • PETG or ABS recommended, PLA is OK aswell
  • TPU (optional)

Printing

  • Lid and Base: flat on build plate, 3 walls 15 to 20 % infill
  • Latches: upright 3 walls, concentric top/bottom
  • Handle: flat on build plate; 3 walls, 30 % infill; concentric top/bottom
  • Seal: Flexible Filament; flat on build plate; 3 walls concentric top/bottom
     

Colored Logo

  • the lid with all the logos is a separte multipart file, use your faviourite slicer and multi color system to print it - in Orca Slicer, Bambu Studio or Prusa Slicer just remove all the logos except the one you want to keep and turn it into a modifier with the desired color

 

Assembly

  • longer screws in the hinges or latches (from the outside)
  • shorter for the handle (from the inside)

Changelog

Unusable, as printed. The lid locks on to the top of some of my containers, and pulls them up and over when opening the lid. I suggest reducing the width of the blocks in the lid by 1 mm, without increasing the risk of contents being transferred.

check the tolerance of your printer, the model is exactly to the gridfinity specs - there are not issues with that - adding 1 mm would result in a huge gap where small parts like small washers and lock rings would spill over

Very good model. Easy to print. I used a 0.6 nozzle with PLA filament from Polymaker

Great Design, light on the filament but more than strong enough.

Easy to print, works wonderfully even in PLA (even though I'd recommend printing the latches in PETG) and is relatively resource-light The only thing it's lacking is a way to rack it (for now)
