Gridfinity Printer-Mounted Baseplates

Mount storage right to your printer with the Gridfinity modular workshop storage system - whatever machine you use!

Gridfinity is the ultimate organizer for your whole workshop! Learn more at Find more Gridfinity accessories at https://bit.ly/3E2NxnZ

Parametric source files:

These brackets mount to your 3D printer and allow you to put Gridfinity storage blocks right where you need them! These work especially well for the Gridfinity 3D-printer accessory kit.

If you need more adjacent slots, just print multiple baseplates and butt them up against each other. I STRONGLY recommend magnets or screws so you don't knock stuff into your printer!

Anycubic Vyper/Kobra: Also fits any printer made of extrusion with 6mm slots. Mount to your printer's frame with M5 hammer nuts for 6mm slots and M5x12mm countersunk screws. Remember to measure countersunk screws from the TOP OF THE HEAD!

The sidecar baseplate mounts to the base frame, parallel with the floor, a lot like the included filament holder. The top-mount baseplate mounts on the Z axis crossbeam or base frame. Make sure the gantry, extruder, and plate don't collide with your Gridfinity!

Lulzbot: Fits the upward-facing edges of the top crossbars. This one is a real pain in the butt to install.

Prusa: Slides on over the steel frame, no fasteners required. THE BASEPLATE AND EXTRUDER MUST BE ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE FRAME!

Snapmaker: Mount to the optional enclosure with M5 hammer nuts for 6mm slots and M5x12mm countersunk screws. Remember to measure countersunk screws from the TOP OF THE HEAD! I didn't make one for the printer itself, sorry!

Toolchanger: Mount to the top of the printer with three button head M3x5 screws. Don't use longer screws! They won't fit!

Gridfinity Tips!

  • No brims or support required!
  • Use any filament with an 0.6mm or smaller nozzle.
  • Wider bins can curl, so maximize your bed adhesion if you're going big!
  • All storage blocks are compatible with all baseplates!
  • Most storage blocks are stackable!
  • You can add 6x2mm magnets to the corners! They won't magnetize the contents.
  • You can also use M3 screws in the corners.

Gridfinity was inspired by Alexandre Chappel's ModuBOX system, which is found at https://www.alch.shop/shop/assortment

I remixed the Anycubic top baseplate into one made for TenLog IDEX printers. It has a channel for an extgruder VGA cable to pass through. https://social.thangs.com/m/489269

Any chance of modifying the 2020 plates for 3030? (e.g. Rat Rig machines)

bro, instead of giving us a ref link to the bolts you should always link us a .com/de/uk ref link for filament every upload/video - and share the files for printing the bolts our self.

you would make 100x more money that way and we would love you even more than we already do.

gigantic fail that i have never seen a ref link from you for filament yet. i just bought many rolls. try ask yourself why you are wasting your time on other ref links? filament is the biggest money maker ref link you can give us and we want to support you by using it. we dont want to buy bolts that would be cheaper and more fun to print ourselves in fun colors.

Thanks a lot for the prints Zack.

And thanks for teaching me so much about 3D printing. I bought my Anycubic Kobra through your affiliate link as a thanks.

It prints fine and all, but it will take me weeks to figure out why it does the cosmetic mistakes it does with PETG.

Please share with us your Anycubic Kobra settings & pro tips n tricks.

Hey Zack! If you load the Prusa mount in Fusion360 and change the slotsWide parameter, it goes all wonky. Obviously there are various user-end workarounds available but thought you'd like to know!!
