Gridfinity filament swatch bin generator
A Gridfinity bin with a slot for each filament swatch, standing up so the colours show side by side. Set the swatch size and how many.
How to make yours
- Set the swatch's thickness and width; each slot is a little bigger so it drops in.
- Set how many swatches along and how many rows; the bin grows one 42 mm square at a time to hold them.
- Set how deep each slot is, and tick on magnet holes if your baseplate has magnets.
- Download it as STL, 3MF or STEP, and print it.
