Shipfinity

A Hack Club YSWS where you ship a Gridfinity bin, and we'll send you it (or filament)!

What is Gridfinity?

Gridfinity is a modular, open-source grid storage system designed for workshops and other workspaces to help with organization. It uses a standardized grid pattern (42x42mm) and modular bins that can be customized to fit various tools, parts, or supplies. The system is highly flexible, allowing users to create tailored storage solutions that maximize efficiency and minimize clutter.

What are the requirements?

1. Spend at least 4 hours designing the bins
2. Your submission must be unique. You may be asked to clarify why your bin is better/different if a similar 3D model already exists
3. Your submission must have a purpose
4. You must be 18 or under.

What will I get?

1. You’ll receive a grant locked to filament vendors at $4/hour of your design time.
2. When the event ends, a week-long voting will determine the best bins.
3. The top 5 vote-getting participants will each receive an extra grant equal to (Total hours spent by all participants / 5).

What have people already made?

There are lots of community-made bins and collections which can be found in pages like Thangs or Printables

A few remarkable examples are:

Gridfinity tool holder collection - A collection of tool holders for the Gridfinity system.
Pegoku's Gridfinity collection - A collection of Pegoku's (YSWS author) Gridfinity bins.
Gridfinity Kitchen Collection - A complete set of Kitchenware bins for Gridfinity of all sizes + expandable and modular pieces.
