Description

I’ve seen a lot of great tool organizer designs out there, but as an aircraft mechanic who’s constantly in and out of my toolbox all day (and with a son who’s also an aircraft mechanic), proper tool shadowing is non-negotiable for us. Instead of traditional foam, I wanted something far more durable, rugged, and clean-looking. So I designed Grid10.

Grid10 is a modular 3D-printed tool organization system. The base plates hook together using simple plastic “dog-bone” links and are secured with common #4 sheet metal screws.

Grid10 Tool Loop. These loops can be used for a variety of tools. Rachets, extensions, hammers, etc.

Note: The "D" is the diameter in mm. The "C" is the center height of the loop.

The Grid10 Base Plate

This is the foundation of the system — a universal organizer designed to fit nearly any toolbox drawer. Every plate includes grooves and pilot holes so you can securely mount a wide variety of tool holders, bins, and custom organizers.

Multiple sizes are available, along with edge and corner pieces to let you tile the drawer perfectly from edge to edge.

Magnet holes (5 mm × 2 mm) are included on the bottom if you prefer not to fill the entire drawer. (Note: holes are slightly loose due to magnet manufacturing tolerances — a drop of glue is recommended.)
Grooves are spaced 10 mm apart and designed at a 60° angle (2 mm wide at the top, 1.5 mm deep). This allows components to be fastened with a single screw while preventing rotation.

Important Notes:

Models are sized by diameter and center height. 8.5Dx10H is a 8.5mm diameter with a center height of 10mm.
It is recommended to use models with the same center height for each tool. Meaning, no matter the diameter the tool will be level to the base plate.
