Custom Gridfinity Bins Without Modeling Every Tool
Gridfinity is great if someone has already modeled the exact bin you need, or if you want to spend the time modeling every tool by hand. But that is slow, tedious, and for us as a business, it does not scale. In this video, I use Tracefinity to turn photos of real tools into custom 3D printed Gridfinity bins. We will go through the practical workflow: taking clean photos, generating tool outlines, designing usable bins, printing them, and test fitting the final parts. I’m running Tracefinity on a local server, but this is not a Linux installation tutorial. The focus here is the actual workflow once Tracefinity is running: photo, outline, bin, print. We’ll cover: Why custom Gridfinity bins are useful but time-consuming to model by hand How to take better photos for tool outlines How Tracefinity turns a tool photo into a usable shape How to think about clearance, pocket depth, and finger access How to print and test fit custom bins What makes a custom storage bin actually useful in a working shop This workflow is especially useful for shop tools, lab tools, electronics tools, machine shop tooling, and all the oddball tools that do not already have downloadable models. What would you organize first with this workflow?
