Clickfinity: It Clicks, and It Tiles

The magnet tax

Gridfinity is Zack Freedman’s 42 mm modular storage grid, and it’s the best thing to happen to a messy bench in years. The catch is the baseplates. The standard ones hold bins with magnets, which means buying a bag of 6×2s, pressing a hundred of them into a hundred little holes, and gluing the ones that won’t stay.

Clickfinity is the alternative: instead of magnets, the plate has flexible latch tongues that catch the bin’s foot. Push the bin in, it clicks, it stays. Nothing to buy, nothing to press, nothing to glue.

The STL Is the Output, Not the Thing

Downloading a mesh is downloading someone else’s decisions

Everyone’s had this one. You find a model that’s nearly right — the tray you need, except it’s 8 mm too wide for the drawer. So you go looking for a remix at the size you want, and either somebody made one or you’re editing a mesh, which is the 3D equivalent of editing a JPEG when you wanted the layered file.
