Introduction.

This has been initialy developped in order to have Gridfinity boxes for a few of my flashlights, (CONVOY, OLIGHT, \u2026) but in the end it's of course working for any kind of rounded item (glue sticks, flasks, bottles, any other round flashlights, \u2026).

The basic usage is for \u201c1x1\u201d box (of any height), but more advanced usages are possible as \u201cDo-It-Yourself\u201d (there is one example in the .scad file).

Pre-requesites.

You have to download the \u201c1x1\u201d models from here : https://www.printables.com/model/210548-filled-in-gridfinity-boxes-for-customization/files (it will be used by the script as a basis) and put the proper models from there (= the ones you want to use) inside the same folder than the \u201c.scad\u201d source file (probably mainly the 1x1 files).

Of course you need OpenSCAD.

Generating your own STL files.

In OpenSCAD, configure in the .scad file :

The proper model name to be imported as a basis (for example, \u201cfilled box 1x1x6-hi_b.stl\u201d)
The exact size of the rounded hole, preferabily measured with a caliper. For examples :
- CONVOY S2+ = 24 mm
- CONVOY M2 = 31.6 mm
The extra margin (still in mm) to be used around that diameter. Will depend of your printer, material, exacts size of the flashlight or bottle, \u2026 For example, with PETG, i used
- 0.5 for \u201colder\u201d CONVOY S2+
- 0.4 for \u201cnewer\u201d CONVOY S2+ and CONVOY M2
The label, in case you want one

Then just generate the STL file (F6 under OpenSCAD) and export it as .STL, and you'll be ready to print.

Preconfigured STL.

A few preconfigured STL files are available for easy try out. They are all with \u201c0.5\u201d extra margin.

For CONVOY S2+, with or without label, with gridfinity sizes \u201c1x4\u201d and \u201c1x6\u201d
For CONVOY M2, with or without label, with gridfinity sizes \u201c1x4\u201d and \u201c1x6\u201d
For one small 30 ml bottle / flask bought on aliexpress or amazon
And a curiosity, one 2x2x6 Gridfinity box allowing to contain at the same time :
- One CONVOY C8+
- Four CONVOY S2+
- And one OLIGHT 1iR2 PRO

Printing.

Nothing special, supports probably needed for the bottom holes of the underlying Gridfinity model if you are taking the versions with holes.
