    Just boring, practical stuff for the kitchen.
    Using the excellent gridfinity generator that allows for large baseplates and divides them up into printable sizes

    Grid created with the gridfinity generator linked above. You just give it the size of the required grid and the print bed size and it divides it into printable chunks, also adds padding as required to match grid size to installed space

    Wasnt a fan of the tiny wheel that came with my Moza wheelbase so i came up with a Sparco P310 style wheel which i used on my old sim wheel to suit the button box of the moza wheel.
    3D Printed in PETG and then wrapped in Bicycle grip tape.
    Seems very strong and doesnt flex even with the 12nm wheelbase.

    This is cool, but is there any reason there's padding at the front and the back, rather than just putting it at the back to improve accessibility? Or is the front row gonna be some kinda cool tray with an overhang that extends over the front padding?

    Should have had the padding at the back but I forgot to set it. Will fix for the next drawer

    Today I'm reprinting the AMS rack to suit available drawer slides.
    Drawer slides to suit the original design are available in the US but to get a pair here is over $100
    Easier to modify the design and reprint - only cost being the filament, less than a spool for the two racks I need
    Picked up a couple of pairs 350mm drawer slides from Bunnings for < $10/pair

    I've been pumping out gridfinity for my toolchest over the last couple of weeks, I've found this generator is great for custom cutouts if you don't have any 3d modeling skills like me.
