I decided it was time to organize my junk drawer but wasn’t sure how to approach it until I discovered Gridfinity.
Instantly, I knew that was the solution I wanted.
After measuring the drawer’s interior, I determined it was roughly a 7×12 grid in Gridfinity terms, with some extra space at the back and a bit on the right.
To address the right side, I created a 1×6 grid with a 3mm bumper to prevent slipping.The gap at the back was more significant, and while some people print spacers to fill the gap, I wanted to utilize every inch of space.
Using Fusion360, I extended the bins by about 18mm, allowing them to fill the back completely.
I also modeled the same grid base so the bins would still work with the Gridfinity system (see last picture).
With these adjustments, everything fits perfectly in my Alex Drawer.
The provided 3MF file contains six plates, with the first one needing to be printed twice. Edit: I am aware not everybody will have a use for the same bin dimensions as me, so if you need a different sized bin to put in the back, just let me know, and I will be happy to modify your needed bin size, and add it to the profile.
And of course, for different bin dimensions elsewhere, those don’t require modification, so you can simply use the premade ones or the extension on Fusion360.
If you’re a beginner and don’t know how to do that, I can also just add your needed size 🙂
