Description

This is a from-the-ground-up reimplementation of Zack Freedman's Gridfinity basic undivided boxes using CadQuery instead of Fusion 360. See this video for further information about the project: This version is customizable in CadQuery so you can generate custom sized undivided boxes, including ridiculously large ones like 10x10 boxes etc. I have included a random selection of grid sizes from 1x1x2-high up. These should be fully compatible with the official boxes/grids. You can also fully customize the X Y and Z unit sizes. #adjust these three variables to change the grid size x_grid_number = 1 #CHANGEME! y_grid_number = 3 #CHANGEME! unit_height = 3 #CHANGME! 2+ number of units -- unitless in integer disable_mholes = False #disable magnet/bolt holes in container I re-implemented this because it seems like a perfect fit for an open source CAD software like CadQuery. With that in mind I have also released the source code python script that was used to generate the STLs. I would love for others to help me create new organizer bins and/or re-implement organizer bins in open source CAD software like CadQuery or OpenSCAD. I used CadQuery/CQ-Editor to design this with a recent version checked out from github on April 13th, 2022. Unfortunately CadHub.xyz does not have a recent enough version of CadQuery to render this properly (n.b. the issue is with lack of a combine argument in the older version of the eachpoint method). CQ-Editor is available on github at CadQuery/CQ-editor, but the latest stable release will NOT run the included cadquery source code, so please instead use a static build from here: https://github.com/jdegenstein/jmwright-CQ-Editor/releases/ If you are interested also check out my related model for gridfinity baseplates here: https://www.printables.com/model/170956-basic-gridfinity-baseplates-cadquery-customizable Also check out my related model for DIVIDED gridfinity boxes here: https://www.printables.com/model/179040-divided-gridfinity-boxes-cadquery-customizable If you are interested also check out my collection of all the gridfinity-related designs I have released: https://www.printables.com/social/107343-jdegs/collections/154274 REVISION HISTORY: 220427: Revision #1 Fixed issue where the bottom thickness of the box was only 1.0mm above the top of the magnet/bolt holes, but was intended to be 2.0mm. Re-rendered all models and released revised python source code. 220518: Revision #2 Added the ability to optionally disable magnet/bolt holes to the CadQuery source code
