This is yet another release of Gridfinity boxes, but these have the inside filled in so they can be easily customized using e.g. tinkercad, Fusion 360, or other CAD software. See this video for further information about the project:

This version is customizable in CadQuery so you can generate custom sized filled boxes, including ridiculously large ones like 10x10 boxes etc. I have included a random selection of grid sizes from 1x1x2-high up. These should be fully compatible with the official boxes/grids. You can also fully customize the X Y and Z unit sizes and control the presence of magnet/bolt holes in the bottom.

#adjust these three variables to change the grid size
x_grid_number = 1 #CHANGEME!
y_grid_number = 7 #CHANGEME!
unit_height   = 6 #CHANGME! 2+ number of units -- unitless in integer

disable_mholes = False #disable magnet/bolt holes in container


I used CadQuery/CQ-Editor to design this with a recent version checked out from github on April 13th, 2022. Unfortunately CadHub.xyz does not have a recent enough version of CadQuery to render this properly (n.b. the issue is with lack of a combine argument in the older version of the eachpoint method).

CQ-Editor is available on github at CadQuery/CQ-editor, but the latest stable release will NOT run the included cadquery source code, so please instead use a static build from here (or install with conda and/or mamba) -- a GitHub account is unfortunately required: https://github.com/jdegenstein/jmwright-CQ-Editor/releases/
