Gridfinity Riser: Lift Any Bin, 1x1-6x6, 1U-12U

Gridfinity Riser: Lift Any Bin, 1x1-6x6, 1U-12U

A spacer that lifts a Gridfinity bin, or a block of bins, by a whole number of units. Gridfinity feet underneath, so it sits on any baseplate. A baseplate socket on top, so any bin drops in. Risers stack on risers.

The U in the profile name is the lift, not the height of the part. A 6U bin on a 1U riser stands level with a 7U bin next to it. The riser itself is 4.75 mm taller than its lift, so a 1U riser is 11.75 mm tall.

What it is for

- Level a mixed row. Short bins go on risers and every top ends up in one plane. - Easier to pick up. A short bin between taller ones is hard to get hold of. Raised level, its rim is right there and it lifts straight out. - No play in a Gridfinity box. In a lidded box or carry case, a short bin has room above it and can shift. On a riser its top meets the lid like the taller bins, and nothing moves in transit. - Step your bench. Put what you reach for most at the top. Design

- Open frame. Every cell is a through shaft, so the riser is light and prints without supports at any height. - Magnets, optional. Pockets for 6 x 2 mm discs in every cell corner, top and bottom. Stacked risers hold each other, and the stack holds a magnetic baseplate. The top pockets have a lip, so lifting a bin cannot pull a magnet out. The magnets do not carry the bin, so the lift is the same with the pockets empty. Included profiles: one 3MF per lift

1U to 12U. Lift = U x 7 mm, part height = lift + 4.75 mm (1U is 11.75 mm tall, 12U is 88.75 mm).

Each file holds 21 plates, one footprint per plate, 1x1 up to 6x6. A rotated size is the same part, so the plate "3x2 (= 2x3)" is both. Open the lift you want, keep the plates you need, delete the rest.

Print notes

- No supports. Feet down, as placed. - PLA or PETG. The profile is the 0.2 mm layer profile for a 0.4 mm nozzle (Bambu Lab H2C), 2 walls, 15% infill, with only hole compensation turned on. Same nozzle as the test prints. - The magnet fit depends on the nozzle. If you re-slice for another nozzle, try one 1x1 first. - Magnets are 6 x 2 mm discs, pressed in by hand, no glue. - 6x6 is 251.5 x 251.5 mm. Check your bed before you print a big one. - Big footprints are long prints: a 6x6 is about 182 g / 22 h at 1U and 1056 g / 123 h at 12U; a 1x1 is 5.3 g / 45 min at 1U and 36.9 g / 4 h 24 min at 12U. Tiling 2x2 or 3x3 risers prints sooner and risks less. Boost Me If this riser evens up your bins, or stops them rattling around in a box, please consider giving it a Boost! It helps me keep making practical Gridfinity parts like this for the MakerWorld community. Thank you!
