@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 are no more letters after z so it has to be the shell’s final form. 

 @6ee90ca1 don’t worry, you’re already in my feed reader. 

 @6ee90ca1 here’s another parametric design I’ve been meaning to try out, for hooks. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1367661 

 @6ee90ca1 let me know how it is when you get it! 

 @6ee90ca1 does it pause because there’s a sensor to read, or just to ensure there’s no momentum and slip?

Asking because I have a similar device I’ve always wanted to build for a family member’s business (for something more like hose than wire), but I assumed I’d use a button, a read out, and let them manually stop at length. 

 @6ee90ca1 been there, done that, with code generation — but it’s still really hard to get basic parts right from just code. The “parametric” design of stuff turns out to just be more fiddly at a constants level and things don’t always scale right when you render them. https://github.com/mathias/dryingrackclip 

 @6ee90ca1 OpenSCAD is more of an obscure programming environment. 

 @6ee90ca1 hard same. Waiting to see what they release. 

I also think it is time I took a course in CAD — probably going with Autodesk Fusion to start.
