Gridfinity Bin and Baseplate Generator
Design bins and baseplates compatible with the Gridfinity storage system and download them ready to print. Enter your drawer size and get the baseplate that fills it, split into pieces that fit your printer. Everything runs in your browser.
How to make a Gridfinity bin
- 1
Choose Bin and set its size in 42 mm cells and its height in 7 mm units.
- 2
Split it into compartments across and along.
- 3
Turn on the stacking lip, the magnet holes or the label tabs as you need.
- 4
Check the 3D preview and download the STL.
How to fill a drawer with a baseplate
- 1
Choose Baseplate and enter the inner width and depth of your drawer in millimeters.
- 2
The generator fits as many 42 mm cells as possible and fills the leftover with a solid border on both sides.
- 3
Enter the size of your printer bed: if the plate does not fit, it is split into even pieces that do.
- 4
Download all the pieces in a ZIP and print them one by one.
What is Gridfinity?
Gridfinity is a modular storage system created by Zack Freedman and shared under the MIT license. Bins sit on a baseplate with a 42 mm grid, so you can rearrange your drawers, desk or workshop and swap bins between them.
This generator follows the open Gridfinity dimensions: 42 mm cells, 7 mm height units and the standard base profile, so its bins and plates work with the thousands of Gridfinity models already shared. It is an independent tool, not an official Gridfinity product.
Tips for printing
Print bins and baseplates without supports, with a 0.2 mm layer height. Two or three walls are enough; bins with thin walls print faster and hold more.
For magnets, use 6 × 2 mm neodymium magnets and glue them in, or press them into the holes with a drop of superglue.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Gridfinity generator free?
Yes. You can create and download bins and baseplates for free, without an account and without watermarks.
Will these bins fit other Gridfinity baseplates?
Yes. The bins use the standard 42 mm grid, 7 mm height units and the standard base profile. The baseplates have a 0.2 mm flat ridge between cells instead of a knife edge, which keeps bins sitting snugly.
What does the stacking lip do?
It is a rim on top of the bin shaped like a baseplate, so you can stack another bin on top. It adds 4.1 mm to the height. Turn it off for bins that go in a shallow drawer.
Which magnets do I need?
6 mm wide and 2 mm thick neodymium magnets. The holes are 6.5 mm wide and 2.4 mm deep so they fit with a bit of glue.
My drawer is bigger than my printer. What do I do?
Enter your printer bed size: the baseplate is split into even pieces that fit it. Place them side by side in the drawer; the solid border goes only on the outer edges.
Is this an official Gridfinity tool?
No. It is an independent generator that follows the open Gridfinity dimensions created by Zack Freedman, shared under the MIT license.
