Unofficial Gridfinity Specification

See the website for more information on the core concept.

Design Spec

The core of the gridfinity design is the 42x42x7mm grid format. The most basic configuration is two parts, a baseplate and a block.

The Block

Design

Every block fits into the z-shaped socket in a baseplate. The socket allows easy reconfiguration of blocks whilst preventing them becoming dislodged with a vertical lip.

Block Profiles Image

This diagram shows the profiles of a generic empty container block. It is 41.5mm square to allow some tolerance to fit within the baseplates.

Labels

Blocks can optionally have labels for easier organistaion of your containers. They also provide a lip making it easier to pickup individual blocks.

Magnets

These can be used to supplement the socket and secure blocks in baseplates more reliably. The magnets are 6mm diameter, 2mm thickness. Blocks should ideally have holes in all four corners of every unit to ensure compatibility in all rotations.
