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.
