I'm slowly getting my feet wet with Fusion 360 for my 3D printer to help me design items for my shop. Up to now, I have relied on other members of IAP or the various websites out there to pull pre-designed files for things I can use in the shop, but as I progress, this ran out of steam.
If you have a 3D printer or not, the Gridfinity system is a pretty cool way to organize draws, tool boxes, or work areas. Here is a link to a pretty good description of the system, its components and how to print it Gridfinity .
In essence the system is a base unit with standardized sizing that you print (or buy pre-made). The base is the bottom of the system and is a 3D printed grid that interlocks with the organizer components. You then print or purchase any of a zillion different items to place on the grid to bring organization to your area. Very high density with good capabilities to organize pretty much anything.
If you have a 3D printer, lots of STL files are available to print pretty much a wide variety of things. BUT, if you really want to get down the rabbit hole, download the free Fusion 360 CAD software from Autocad and the Gridfinity plug in available on the Fusion website store - also free - and you can easily design custom holders and components for the system, making custom holders for tons of stuff pretty easily. The Gridfinity plug-in then allows you to save it as an STL file and export it to your 3D printer. Fire up the printer and you shortly have a new obsession - and you will look cool with all your organized draws and workspace!
Have fun!
