How do I ensure a good fit before batch printing?

The skill recommends generating and printing a single X-intersection test piece to verify the friction fit with your specific divider material before starting a large batch.

Which connector types can I generate?

You can generate X, T, L, and I junctions, as well as straight ends and vertical trim for drawer openings.

What is the NeoGrid hybrid system?

It is a system where you 3D-print the complex connectors (junctions) and buy flat materials like plywood or MDF for the divider walls to save time and filament.

Why is material thickness so important in the code?

Precise measurement with calipers is required because even a 0.2mm difference determines whether your dividers will fit securely or wobble in the 3D-printed channels.

Does this skill support Gridfinity?

Yes, it includes parameters to generate connectors that snap directly onto standard 42mm Gridfinity baseplates.

Developer Tools

Generates optimized OpenSCAD code for 3D-printed connectors in the NeoGrid hybrid drawer organization system.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for creating custom NeoGrid connector pieces, a hybrid organization system that combines 3D-printed junctions with cost-effective, store-bought divider materials like MDF, plywood, or acrylic. It automates the generation of OpenSCAD parameters, ensures precise material thickness calibration for friction fits, and handles integration with popular mounting systems like Gridfinity and OpenGrid. By focusing on the 3D-printed logic of the system while leveraging bulk materials for the walls, it significantly reduces filament costs and printing time for large-scale organization projects.
