| Super excited to see Gridfinity on HN, it introduced so many new people to 3D printing as well as introductory 3D design. It’s simple, modular storage that is practical and really grounds 3D printing in a genuinely practical use case. To provide anecdata on how big gridfinity has become - it’s the #1 search, every week on Thangs.com, which is the largest 3D model search index available (over 14M models, and search volume is ~ 1 search every 1-1.5 seconds on Thangs). (1) Gridfinity is literally more popular than Christmas in this community. And it’s been the top search term for a long time. (2) There are entire subreddits dedicated to it. (3) Zack, the guy who started it, is a genuine treasure of a human as well. Check out his YouTube channel (4), he recently built a Google Glass like device - and then shared all the designs, openly.
