Description
This is inspired by Gridfinity Generic DevBoard Holder. I didn't need the half grid base, which slows printing time, and the tallest bin there is 3 Gridfinity units, which doesn't work for boards that have stacking headers, or breakout boards with taller components.
This is a customizable alternative, using Gridfinity Rebuilt in OpenSCAD as a starting point. The rendered STLs I've uploaded are all 4 units high, and have no magnets on their bases.
To Customize
- Clone or download: https://github.com/kennetek/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad
- Put “devboard_bin.scad” into that folder
- Open it in OpenSCAD
- Edit to suit your needs
- Render and export your STL
For best performance, use the newest development build of OpenSCAD you can get, with Preferences > Advanced > 3D Rendering > Backend set to "Manifold (new/fast)". The preview may always fail on larger bins, but render is extremely fast.
Print Settings
Use your normal Gridfinity settings, but be sure to select the Arachne wall generator, if it isn't default in your slicer. With the thin walls and tight spacing, this gives the best quality, while saving time too.
