Tracefinity

Gridfinity is a modular storage system designed by Zack Freedman. Bins snap into baseplates on a 42mm grid, making it easy to organise tools, components, and supplies. The system is open source and hugely popular in the 3D printing community.

What is Tracefinity?

Gridfinity is a modular storage system designed by Zack Freedman. Bins snap into baseplates on a 42mm grid, making it easy to organise tools, components, and supplies. The system is open source and hugely popular in the 3D printing community.

Features:

  • AI-powered tracing -- Local model or Gemini generates accurate tool silhouettes from photos
  • Manual mask upload -- Use the Gemini web interface without an API key
  • Selective saving -- Choose which traced outlines to keep before saving to your library
  • Tool library -- Save traced tools and reuse them across multiple bins
  • Tool editor -- Rotate tools, add/remove vertices, adjust outlines, snap to grid
  • Smooth or accurate -- Toggle Chaikin subdivision for smooth curves, or keep the raw trace; SVG and STL exports both respect this
  • Finger holes -- Circular, square, or rectangular cutouts for easy tool removal
  • Interior rings -- Hollow tools (e.g. spanners) traced correctly with holes preserved
  • Bin builder -- Drag and arrange tools with snap-to-grid, auto-sizing to fit the gridfinity grid
  • Cutout clearance -- Configurable tolerance so tools fit without being too loose
  • Cutout chamfer -- Bevelled top edges on tool pockets for easy tool insertion
  • Contrast insert -- Generate a separate STL for printing tool silhouettes in a different colour
  • Text labels -- Recessed or embossed text on bins
  • Gridfinity compatible -- Proper base profile, magnet holes, stacking lip
  • Live 3D preview -- See your bin in three.js before printing
  • STL and 3MF export -- 3MF supports multi-colour printing for embossed text
  • SVG export -- Individual tool outlines as SVG, with smoothing applied
  • Bed splitting -- Large bins auto-split into printable pieces with diagonal fit detection
  • Landscape and portrait -- Paper orientation auto-detected from corner positions
  • Single-container Docker -- Frontend and backend in one image, data in a single volume
