Gridfinity MicroSD holder

I saw a few other micro SD holders for Gridfinity, but wanted to maximize capacity and reduce material used to print, so here's my take.



Gridfinity MIcroSD holder

I went about modifying Zack's original model since I don't need 6 spots for nippers. Honestly, not super happy with what I came up with, and as I was working on it I realized why the original was the way it is. However, I'm releasing it anyway since it's what I'm using for now, and maybe it's just what someone else needs.

Zack's original design is a pretty good balance since it fits 6 slots in a 4x2 grid. This is possible because of the way he spread them out, but making one that's 2x1, 2x2 etc would mean changing spacing between racks, which is already pretty ideal. One thing to note about this 2x1 design is that you absolutely need magnets/screws or it falls over with a tool in it. It also hangs over into adjacent grid items like the original, which isn't bad if it's at the end of your grid but it doesn't fit well in smaller grids. 

I should have centered the piece that the nippers rest on more, but rather than improving this design I'm brainstorming other ideas that might be a better use of space and still sticks with the Gridfinity principals of displaying the tool and making it easy to find within a cluttered grid. 

f3d and STEP files included for anyone that would like to modify this further.

This is a modified version of the Mitutoyo Series 500 caliper holder by ZackFreedman. The iGaging are very similarly shaped but have a button on the top for units that needs another cutout. These calipers also use CR2032 or CR2025 batteries, so I've replaced the battery slots with ones that fit those. 

Update April 26 2022: Added f3d archive and STEP files in the spirit of open source.

This holder stores iGaging ABSOLUTE ORIGIN 0-6" Digital Electronic Calipers and a pair of CR2032 or CR2025 batteries in a bare minimum of desk space. By sticking the caliper straight up, the contoured socket protects the jaws from damage. This has only been tested on the iGaging ABSOLUTE ORIGIN 0-6" Digital Electronic Caliper, but may work with other similar models.

This block has a high center of gravity, so I strongly recommend mounting it to a weighted baseplate using magnets or screws!

Gridfinity Tips!

All storage blocks are compatible with all baseplates!
Most storage blocks are stackable!
You can add 6x2mm magnets to the corners! They won't magnetize the contents.
You can also use M3 screws in the corners.
