What is Gridmint?
Gridmint is a free Gridfinity tool that plans a whole drawer, not just one bin. You type the drawer's inner size in millimeters or inches (or pick a template for IKEA ALEX, HELMER, KALLAX and MALM, Systainer, L-BOXX, MAKPAC and tool chests), and it works out how many 42 mm cells fit and spreads the leftover space around the baseplate. Then you drag bins into place, resize them, and a height check warns you before the drawer jams.
The bin designer covers free-form compartments, scoops, label tabs, lids, wall patterns such as honeycomb and magnet holes, and there are more than 200 ready-made inserts for batteries, SD cards, bits and pens. Baseplates are split to fit your bed and lock together with dovetail puzzle joints. For tools, put the object on A4, A3 or US Letter paper, take a photo from above, and edge detection traces the outline into a snug insert; outlines can also be exported as SVG or DXF.
Export is an STL or STEP per part, a ZIP, a 3MF with the parts already spread over your print beds for nearly 30 printer profiles, or a Bambu Studio project with plates and a pause for the color change, plus print time, filament and cost estimates. It is free with no locked features and no account; a free email sign-in only syncs projects between devices. Gridmint is a one-person project from Germany funded by tips and partners.

Gridmint pros
- Plans the whole drawer with a height check, not just single bins
- Ready Bambu Studio project with plates, plus 3MF for other slicers
- Tool inserts from a photo, and templates for common IKEA drawers and tool cases
Gridmint cons
- So many options that a first drawer plan takes a while to learn
- Photo inserts trace a flat outline, so tall or rounded tools need checking
