For the unfamiliar, gridfinity is a project kicked off by Zack Freedman, who makes awesome YouTube videos with his life partner: [VIDEO] (Yes, that is a monocular HUD on his face, it's his teleprompter. There are a bunch of videos on the channel chronicling the various iterations of it)

Cool! I was hoping someone would make a better catalog for these. Searching thangs for specific things got really murky. I made a ton of the 2 grid 3 bay windowed bins to hold M3 and M4 screws and nuts and small but numerous lego pieces. Watching Zack's original video on the concept really helps to cement why this exists. [VIDEO]
