Create custom Gridfinity divider bins using a Python script.

Custom Gridfinity Bins

This project will allow you to create custom Gridfinity divider bins.

Installation

Clone the repo and install requirements from requirements.txt. It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment for this. Read this for more details.

Note that this requires Python >=3.8.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Look at generate.py for usage examples for now.

Run it with

python3 generate.py

Here's what is created with the example code provided.

Contribution

This is my first time using Cadquery so I'm sure it is far from optimal. Feel free to submit PRs to get it cleaner.

custom-gridfinity-bins's Issues

lite version?

some of these in open scad have a light version where the base is mostly cut out in versions missing both the magnet and screw holes so that it saves plastic and print time and adds more room in the bottoms wondering if some one is willing to add that to these files as well as i like the way these generate way better.

this is an example :)
bottom thickness is usially in the range on 1 mm with side walls in the range of 1.2 like the walls

Wall at finger scoop

Dear Rash,
good job !
there is one issue :

if You set

DRAW_FINGER_SCOOP = False
DRAW_LABEL_LEDGE = True

the wall were the finger scoop should be located, is too thick, compared to the other 3 walls.
It would be good if You can fix that.

the requirements.txt is not correct for windows installations - should I send You a PR ?

yours sincerely

Walls thickness configurable

the sidewall thickness is pretty low - that can be a problem on very high single boxes like :

UNITS_WIDE = 1
UNITS_LONG = 1
UNITS_HIGH = 9
DIVISIONS = [ 1,]
DRAW_FINGER_SCOOP = False
DRAW_LABEL_LEDGE = True
MAKE_MAGNET_HOLE = True
MAKE_SCREW_HOLE = False

maybe You can make the wall thickness configurable also ?
