Đế Gridfinity được tối ưu hóa không gian (Optimally Packed)

Standard Gridfinity layouts are usually restricted to orthogonal grids (like 3x3 or 4x4), which often leads to significant wasted space when you only need a specific number of bins (like 5, 11, or 17).

This project breaks that limitation by leveraging mathematical research on "Square Packing in a Square." By using precise geometric translations and rotations, we’ve created high-density baseplates that fit more bins into smaller footprints than traditional grids allow.

Key Features

• Space Efficient: Fits "awkward" numbers of bins into the theoretical minimum possible square area.

• Fully Compatible: Uses standard 1x1 Gridfinity "islands," so your existing bins will click right into place.

• High Quality: Models are rendered with high polygon counts ($fn=64$) for smooth, precise fitment.

• Open Source: Parametric OpenSCAD source files included for all layouts.

Available Layouts

Slots

Size (mm)

Improvement over Standard Grid

5

113.7 x 113.7

44% smaller footprint than a 3x3 grid.

10

155.7 x 155.7

Fits 10 slots in less space than a standard 4x3 grid.

11

162.8 x 162.8

Highly compact "rigid" packing.

17

196.4 x 196.4

Fits 17 slots in less space than a standard 5x4 grid.

19

205.2 x 205.2

Optimized 19-slot layout using 45° rotations.

26

236.1 x 236.1

Fits 26 slots in a footprint smaller than a standard 6x5 grid.

Technical Details

These plates are generated using OpenSCAD and the gridfinity-rebuilt library. Each design features a 1mm structural floor connecting the "islands" to maintain rigidity while minimizing filament use.
