Overview
Gridfinity Builder includes preset configurations for popular 3D printers and common bin types. These presets provide quick starting points for designing storage layouts.
Grid Presets
Grid presets define baseplate sizes for different 3D printer build volumes.
| Preset Name | Grid Size | Real Size (mm) | Build Volume |
|---|
| A1 | 6 × 6 | 252 × 252 | Bambu Lab A1 (256×256mm) |
| A1 Mini | 4 × 4 | 168 × 168 | Bambu Lab A1 Mini (180×180mm) |
| P1S | 6 × 6 | 252 × 252 | Bambu Lab P1S (256×256mm) |
| X1C | 6 × 6 | 252 × 252 | Bambu Lab X1C (256×256mm) |
| X1E | 6 × 6 | 252 × 252 | Bambu Lab X1E (256×256mm) |
| H2D | 6 × 6 | 252 × 252 | Bambu Lab H2D (256×256mm) |
| 19” Rack | 10 × 8 | 420 × 336 | Server rack tray organizer |
| Custom | 8 × 8 | 336 × 336 | User-defined grid size |
Grid Size Calculation
realWidth = gridCols × 42mm
realDepth = gridRows × 42mm
- Width: 6 × 42mm = 252mm
- Depth: 6 × 42mm = 252mm
Grid presets are optimized to fit within printer build volumes with some margin for brim/skirt. The “A1” preset is marked as the default.

Using Presets
Presets provide quick starting points:
- Grid presets — Select a printer preset to set baseplate size
- Bin presets — Add pre-configured bins to your layout
- Layout templates — Load complete workspace templates
- Customize — Modify any preset to fit your specific needs
All presets use the same underlying bin configuration system, so you can adjust dimensions, features, and parameters after adding them to your layout.
Layout templates demonstrate best practices for organizing different workspace types and serve as starting points for custom designs.
