Gridfinity Ultra Light Bin Generator Online

 

Check out the Gridfinity Ultra-Light Bin System. With so much to print in the Gridfinity universe, this system helps you save time, filament and money, allowing you to print even more Gridfinity stuff...

It all started with the Gridfinity Lite Bins from Jake. But I thought maybe they could be even lighter without losing stability. So, I redesigned them from the ground up and achieved an ultra-light version of it that is not a flimsy as a vase mode bin.

To put it in perspective for a 3x4x6 bin:

  • Slicer: OrcaSlicer
  • Printer: BambuLab P1S
  • Layer Height: 0.20 mm
  • Wall Loops: 2
  • Top/Bottom Shell layers: 3
  • Sparse Infill Density: 10%
VersionFilament UsagePrint Time
Original Bin98.06 g2 h 37 min
Lite Version83.01 g2 h 10 m
Ultra Light Version61.96 g1 h 31 min

In comparison to the original, this version saves approximately 37% of filament and about 42% of print time. Compared to the lite version, it saves about 25% of filament and around 30% of print time – savings that can be reinvested in more Gridfinity stuff. ;)

If you encounter any issues when printing the bins or need a size that is not available, please feel free to let me know. I will either fix the error or upload the missing parts.

Happy printing :)

How to find your bin

The first two numbers indicate the grids in the X and Y directions. One grid is 42 x 42 mm. So, for example, a 2x3x_ box would be 84 mm in the X direction and 126 mm in the Y direction.

The third number indicates the height of a box. One height unit is 7 mm. On top of that height comes a lip with approximately 4.4 mm of height to stack the next box onto it. So, for example, a _x_x3 would be around about 25.4 mm high. If you want to know more, there is a very good website, where all the specifications are explained.
