These are tool holders for rulers. They hold the rulers standing straight up, and there are two profiles to choose from:

 * "Architect" profile rulers which are shaped like a triangle with circular divots, like those Staedtler scale rulers
 * Two "China" profile rulers, which I'm calling that purely because the one I have is only identified by the country of origin. They are rulers with large tabs in the middle of their profile that make them easier to grab.

The "China" profile should also fit any flat ruler that's 30mm wide and 2.40mm deep, or less. If you happen to know what this is actually called, please let me know.

These are a set of marginally useful utilities for Gridfinity:

 - The *Bin Covers* allow you to cover your divider bins of 1 to 5 units in width. The cover is specifically sized to fit below the label lip; though some of the 4 and 5 wide bins do not have a full label lip and thus will leave holes with the covers.
 - The *Mid Plates* vertically separate two stacked Gridfinity storage blocks by one height unit. You can use these to even out stacks of 2 and 3-high divider bins, or separate two stacked divider bins so that the top bin's magnets do not grab the parts in the bin below it.
 - The *Top Plates* just cover the top of a vertically level Gridfinity setup. These could be used to presumably transport an entire Gridfinity setup.

I wanted to try printing the covers in transparent PETG, but that gave my Ender 3 a bad time, so I'm just going to suggest you give it a try if your printer is so tuned. Clear resin probably would also work if you had an MSLA printer with enough bed area for it. Even if you can't print them in transparent material, you can still read the labels on your divider bins before taking the cover off.

The 5x1x6 3-compartment divider bin that Zach posted is missing the magnet/screw counterbore for some reason. I imported that bin into Blender and copy-pasted the bottom faces off the half-height version onto this one.

This is a set of holders for... allen key sets, the kind of which that really have nowhere go to.

I generated the following sets from a [parametric CADQuery script](https://github.com/kmeisthax/gridfinity-cadquery/blob/master/examples/ender_3_allen_keys.py):

 - Ender 3 Set: The allen keys that came with my Ender 3. Metric only, no bald eagles need apply. Super useful when paired with a [Printer-Mounted Baseplate](https://thangs.com/designer/ZackFreedman/3d-model/Gridfinity%2520Printer-Mounted%2520Baseplates-60929) (use the Anycubic ones it's the same extrusion dimensions)
 - Amazon Basics: The bits from [this Amazon Basics 26-bit set](https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Hex-Allen-Wrench-Ball/dp/B0776C2D6H/).
 - EP Auto: The bits from [this 30-piece set](https://www.amazon.com/EPAuto-Allen-Wrench-Metric-26-Piece/dp/B072JNK72R) that I've seen branded as "EP Auto", "InPower", and a few others.
 - Craftsman: The bits from [a 20-piece set](https://www.amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-Hex-Metric-20-Piece-CMHT26020/dp/B08GHHF1YD/) that I've only seen Craftsman sell
 - Lichamp: The bits from [an 18-piece set](https://www.amazon.com/Lichamp-18-Piece-Knotched-L-Wrench-Foldable/dp/B07FN245S9/) that I noticed on Amazon right when I was about to wrap this up and wound up having to redesign a good chunk of the logarithmic spiral code around

If none of these fit you can download the CADQuery source and generate a bespoke set of your own (or beg me to do it). Reminder that I'm on 0.30-dev and 0.20 is missing certain commands that the Gridfinity scripts need.

All the holders (except the Ender 3 set) are 2x2x3 blocks with Imperial/SAE and Metric variations. Bits are arranged in a logarithmic spiral because it looks cool. If you wanna be super-clever you can change filament color when printing to get extra contrast on the elevated labels.

Display your (handheld) game cartridges in style with #gridfinity storage blocks!

This package contains three models sized to fit three different kinds of cartridges:

- For most people, the **Switch** holder will be what you want. It is a 2x1 storage block that displays nine cartridges. Unfortunately I can't find a 3D printing filament that matches the nasty bitterants Nintendo uses on the cartridges. (Recently updated to actually fit all Switch cartridges!)
- Those who bought into the "touch" era will want to print the **DS/3DS** holder. It is a cute lil' 1x1 storage block that displays three cartridges.
- Finally, those who like it oldschool will be pleased with the **GB/GBA** holder. This 3x1 storage block displays four cartridges. For best results, place taller cartridges towards the back of the block. Rumble Pak cartridges may interfere with the slot in front.

No additional assembly is required. In fact, don't even print the assembly, because it's full of dummy carts and Thangs won't let me update it. Just use the bundled STLs and the cartridges will fit straight into the storage block.

Illustration! Don't Print!

I'm serious

If you print this

you'll look really dumb

GB/GBA Holder

I know these might look

like GB cartridges at a quick

glance, but they're rather oversize

compared to the real thing!

Switch Holder

Omg I have to write

NINE LINES OF TEXT

because CADQuery

can't export a STEP file

with proper assembly names

and instead I just get

a file that says

A jig for gluing magnets to #gridfinity weighted baseplates. This is roughly the opposite of the [Magnet Glue-Up Jig](https://www.printables.com/model/188559-gridfinity-magnet-glue-up-jig/files) that assists in attaching magnets to Gridfinity storage blocks.

This model comes in two parts: a carrier that holds four guide magnets, and a thin separator plate. The pairs of magnets on both sides of the assembly will hold the jig together until you push on the separator plate to deposit the magnets into the baseplate.

Assembly & usage instructions:

1. Print the jig carrier and separator plate.
2. Glue the guide magnets into the carrier. All four magnets must have the same orientation, or every set of magnets you deposit will be incorrectly oriented. If you already printed the [Magnet Glue-Up Jig](https://www.printables.com/model/188559-gridfinity-magnet-glue-up-jig/files), you can use its magnet carrier to orient this jig's carrier's magnets. (Look at the images to see how that should work!)
3. Ensure that the magnets have adhered to the carrier and that they all have the same orientation. If you have other jigs with magnet carriers, or magnetized Gridfinity parts, ensure the orientation is correct between all of them.
4. Insert the separator plate into the bottom of the carrier. The pegs on the separator plate should mesh with it.
5. With your finger holding the separator plate onto the carrier, stick four magnets onto the plate. They should orient themselves with the guide magnets and hold the separator plate in place.
6. Add glue to baseplate holes.
7. Insert the whole jig into the baseplate completely. Push down on the hole in the jig carrier while pulling on the T-shaped lips to either side to separate and deposit the magnets. If you are wearing nitrile gloves (or like the feeling of cyanoacrylate on your skin for some reason) you may use your finger to push down on the plate; otherwise, any stick-like object will do.
8. Once the carrier is far away enough from the magnets, you may carefully pull on the separator plate pins to remove the rest of the jig. All four magnets should be sitting flush in their holes.
9. Repeat steps 4 thru 8 for each slot in the baseplate.

Keep in mind that glue will accumulate on the separator over time; potentially causing magnets to stick to it instead of the baseplate. You may want to print multiple separators if you are gluing a lot of magnets.
