    Like many, I was inspired by Alex's videos and paid for the original assortment system. It worked well enough to organize my drawers, until I wanted to make some modifications. Without the source files, I spent hours looking for anything close to what I wanted on Printables, without success. This is the primary reason I switched to Gridfinity, and not looking back - you just can't compete with the variety contributed by the open-source community.
    P.S. if Alex made these compatible with the 42mm grid system, I wouldn’t mind paying for the models.

    I am using pretty much all your organizing boxes for years now, and I find the system extremely useful. All furniture that I make I size the drawers as a multiple of 55 x 55mm (the height is more flexible, and I have decided for 65mm for most). Anyone following your ideas for building a kitchen should think multiples of 40 x 40mm.

    Mmm, gyroid infill. ❤ I'm using Gridfinity for my Ikea Alex drawers, turns out that its 42mm grid is perfect with just enough gap on the sides to avoid the screws in the drawer -- I printed a couple of 1.3mm spacer blocks to get the grid centered in the drawer to avoid the screws.

    My kitchen drawers are of a size where I end up having a half grid along a side, so I printed a number of the boxes that have the half spacing. They work great! One thing that I realized, though -- it would be awesome if all the boxes had half-size features on the bottom so that they would be able to slot into the grid on whole divisions or half divisions regardless of orientation. That way, if I ever want to use one of the bins I printed with a half-sized feature rotated 90°, it would still work fine.

  • @_marcioeric

    Hey... There is something called open scad that is a programmable cad language that allow you to create any variation on those boxes... I know it`s probblaby a lil off topic but would be a nice touch just input how many "squares" you want and the computer calculates it.

    One issue I have is using this system in IKEA kitchen drawers. I don't know why but they decided to make the sides angled. So the bottom of the drawer is a good 3 cm less wide than the top. So after filling the whole drawer with boxes, I have a 1.5 cm gap on each sides that tend to accumulate dust or chopsticks that fall in between.

  • @kearneyanimation
    @kearneyanimation 4 місяці тому

    Rewatching this as I consider a new sorting system for my tools. I built a proprietary system 3 years ago to modularly fill an ikea filing cabinet years ago, but that meant it couldn't be square because of how awkward the size was. The 40x40mm grid is a great idea considering how many factors 40 has (1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40) which I think will be more beneficial than 55 or 50. Hopefully when I get a few more drawers set up I can get printing some boxes!

    A great improvement for the bag boxes is, instead of spacers, is to have a spring-loaded bottom that will push the bags to the top. When you're low the bags are still accessible! There are paper towel dispensers that do this already with bi and tri-fold paper towels.

    I bought your original storage designs but ended up switching to Gridfinity for exactly the reason that you just switched to the 40x40 grid -- it allowed for finer control over sizes. Now you've solved that, and so I've bought these as well. I think they may finally be the impetus I need to bring this kind of storage to my kitchen, and I like to support creative people like you who come up with these original ideas. I think this new smaller grid of yours is excellent and it's neat to see the evolutionary improvements in it compared to your original design. The half-space sizes and the filler pieces are especially good ideas.

    I had an organized kitchen once. One style of plates, one style of cups, one style of silverware... life was so simple and beautiful!
    Then I had kids... When they were super little there were all the random little kid bottles and stuff, which was a nightmare. Then they got older, and we have somehow accumulated all sorts of different styles of cups, bowls, silver and plastic ware, loads of different tupperware styles... its a mess lol. Probably another few years before we can have a unifed clean kitchen setup again.
    The biggest struggle though are mugs. We drink a lot of tea, coffee, coco, and heck I even drink water in a mug... so we have accumulated a wide varieity of mugs, and no 2 mugs have the same shape/profile, and all of them are from a trip, or milestone, or have some sort of memory attached to them. This is a glorious problem which isn't ever going away lol. Ultimately, I think we will need a hanging system to put them on a wall, or under shelves and/or cabinets or something. I mean they are functional mementos, so being out in a public viewing area isn't a problem as long as it is somewhat organized. Just need to find a system that works for them all.

    Love the system, again. You should really look into parametric design; that way you wouldnt have to create all those different files. Oh and one other thing: the amount of failed prints you produce to achieve the final result is so high! It would be nice to see a video where you dive into the art of designing something which is almost perfect with the first try (f.i. with the help of 3d scanning?) I know this is extremely hard and just part of the process but still.. And would also love to see where all the failed prints end up. Do you recycle them? Keep up the good work, I love your content😊

    That's an impressive system.
    When you showed the spice drawer at the end, the dill jar stood out to me. At first, I thought it was misspelled (or labelled in English). All of the rest (that I noticed) seemed to have the correct Danish spelling. But then I figured out that you're in Norway, not Denmark, so maybe the dill jar is correct, and it just so happens that the rest of your spices are spelled the same in Danish and Norwegian.
