 The Gridfinity system looked interesting, but unless I can do the whole thing in OpenSCAD it's just not as interesting to me... 

Luckily there is an OpenSCAD version!

Now I need to decide if I really want to go that route.

 @6ee90ca1 Nah you definitely want to go with FreeGrid instead.

I have absolutely no self interest int his statement. Also a great deal on development land in Florida.

While the OpenSCAD version definitely seems interesting, I still struggle to see how Gridfinity would benefit me personally as an organizational tool. 

That said, I'm a big fan of the Honeycomb Storage Wall (HSW), and have designed a number of add-ons for it -- and yes -- there are OpenSCAD variants for both the wall grid and attachment points.

 @6ee90ca1 definitely use one of the parametric designs that use less filament than the original Gridfinity files. The original magnet base plates in particular use WAY too much filament compared to newer designs. I also found a very minimal bin with a printable separate label design (so you can print new labels that snap in) that I’ll share if I can find the link. 
 @6ee90ca1 there's a second #gridfinity implementation in #openSCAD https://github.com/kennetek/gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad
That's the one I use as basis for my designs 😊 

Gridfinity has been a huge improvement for my tiny workshop: I use it both for presenting tools and for storing small parts. It's very satisfying when everything has its proper place. Besides a tool holder (mounted to the wall), I have a "floating grid" which holds the small parts I currently need (screws of needed size, etc). Definitely worth trying 😁
