There is a disclaimer that nobody puts in a listing for a free model. It’s only free
if it fits. The thing is, that item on the internet was designed on somebody
else’s bench, for somebody else’s drawer, sliced for somebody else’s
printer. You find out after eleven hours of printing that it won’t work for you and
you’ve wasted ten bucks worth of filament.
After running into that frustration a few times, I came across a parametric Gridfinity
generator site. Suddenly, a few things went click. That day, I got to work developing
parametric models of my own. It started with a simple laptop stand and went from there.
I’m a former CTO and have been developing websites since 1993. Between discovering this
obsessive hobby and that experience, it made sense to create a site for the models I was
coming up with.
That’s the whole concept for the company. We don’t sell you an STL and wish you luck.
You tell us the size and the printer; we run the model and cut the parts to your
build plate, split where they need splitting, with the assembly guide generated from the
same numbers. It is made when you order it because it cannot be made before — nobody
knows your setup but you.
We test-print everything we sell, on our own machines, in the sizes people actually order.
Some designs never make it out of the printer room. The ones that do are here.
