Bin bench

Gridfinity bin generator

Build a bin on the 42 mm grid, preview it, and download an STL cut in this browser. The mesh is checked for a sealed surface before you save it.

The sizes this follows

One grid unit is 42 mm by 42 mm. One height unit is 7 mm, measured from the bottom of the foot, and the first unit includes the base. A 2×3×4 bin without a lip is 83.5 × 125.5 × 28 mm. The half millimetre comes off the whole footprint once, not once per cell, so neighboring bins keep a small gap.

Each cell gets its own foot: 0.8 mm of chamfer, 1.8 mm straight, then 2.15 mm of chamfer, 4.75 mm in all. Magnet pockets are 6.5 mm across and 2.4 mm deep, four of them, centered 13 mm from the middle of the cell. Screw holes, when Pro is on, are 3.2 mm and stop short of the floor. Dividers are 1.2 mm and stop below the lip so a stacked bin still has room for its feet.

The generator uses manifold-3d, a WASM solid kernel. After the booleans it welds vertices and checks that every edge is shared by two triangles. A sealed result is what you want before a slicer sees the file. It is still worth dropping the STL into your slicer once, because a browser mesh is not a substitute for a test fit.

Questions worth asking first

Will this fit a standard baseplate?

The outer size is n × 42 mm minus 0.5 mm, and each cell has the usual 4.75 mm foot with Ø6.5 × 2.4 mm magnet pockets on a 26 mm square. The chamfer is sliced, so it sits a fraction of a millimetre inside the ideal profile rather than proud of it.

Does the stacking lip add height?

Yes. Body height is the height units times 7 mm, base included. The lip adds 3.8 mm on top, which is the printable trim of the 4.4 mm theoretical lip.

What does Pro change?

Free bins go to 4×4 and 8 units tall, with a 1.2 mm wall. Pro, unlocked with a code on this browser, opens 8×8 and 20 units, screw holes, a finger scoop, and a custom wall. The check is local and honor-system.
