+# Gridfinity archive
+
+I dealt with all the terrible 3d printing model sites (all terrible except Printables,
+Printables is actually pretty good) so you don't have to!
+
+
+Here is my archive of sort-of organised Gridfinity STLs and OpenSCAD scripts with maybe some gcode thrown in
+if i forget to remove it
+
+## Tips
+
+I use the Dovetail base plates, not for the connectors but mainly just because they use less material than the
+default minimal base plates. The connectors are pretty handy, though.
+
+
+I have a specific printer profile I use just for printing gridfinity stuff. I use the lowest quality and crank the
+speed as high as the extrusion rate will allow. Almost all gridfinity models are quite forgiving both to print
+and to use, so quality does not matter as much as most other prints. Some models though I have to dial the speed
+back or I get failures
+
+
+Do not bother with more than 4 compartments per 2 blocks, for example the `Window Bin x5 - 1x2x6`. Perhaps this form
+in a shorter bin would be more practical but you simply cannot easily get your fingers in the tiny compartments of a bin
+with more than 4 compartments per 2 blocks.
+
+Print big bins! You will want to print a bunch of teeny bins starting out. There is barely anything you can actually fit in
+these. I have a bunch of 3 unit tall bins with teeny compartments that I don't know what to do with now. Most of my stuff
+fits in non-divided large bins, most of the rest in divided 6 unit tall bins
