Gridbox Pro

What is Gridbox Pro?

Gridbox Pro is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that designs Gridfinity bins, a baseplate that fills your drawer, and shadowboxes with a cutout for each tool. For a shadowbox you print a free 60 mm scaler tile once, put your tool next to it and take a photo from straight above. The app finds the tile and sets the scale itself, and an AI auto trace that runs on your own computer draws the outline. Every point stays editable, and a calipers tool lets you type in what your real calipers read so the app can correct the scale.

Before the long print, ShadowFit prints a thin test piece with the same cutouts so you can check that every tool drops in. SnapSplit cuts a bin or shadowbox that is bigger than your bed into pieces that join with printed pins or magnets. There are finger holes, scoops, label cards, floor steps for tapered tools, ready-made cutouts for batteries, bits and sockets, and printer presets for Bambu Lab, Prusa and Creality. It exports STL, 3MF and Bambu Studio projects, and a .gridboxpro project file carries the photo, outline and settings so anyone can open and change it in the free app.

Designing is free with no account and no time limit, but saving files out of the app needs a one-time license: Personal is $130 at launch until December 31, then $150, and Commercial is $300. It suits people who want a drawer of tools that fits the first time and are happy to pay once instead of learning CAD.
