I feel so honored to be featured in a Zack Freedman video! The carousel was a really fun project to tackle. Thanks to Zack for the foundation, and y'all can feel free to rip it off as much as you please. Freedom to the people (and all that jazz)! Edited to add: it's Fugal with a ū like bugle, not foogle.

Looks amazing!! If you were to ever make a V2, I'd love to see an oval shape vs a circle shape, almost like shelves that shuffle! Maybe with belts on the sides and two of these circular mechanisms (top and bottom of the oval). Thank you for the amazing contribution!
As a user of sponsor block I was thoroughly confused and genuinely watched the ad for brilliant ti make sure I didn't miss anything. Damn you zack, you win this round
The gridfinity battlefield is good, but I'm glad I did check out your other projects, as the UwU mechs are equal parts crazy and cute. I'll be sure to print a squad for Weaseltech.
The dungeon stuff was amazing! Would love to print it if I ever manage to slay that dragon that is scheduling conflicts and actually get a game going again ❤
The existence of Gridfinity weighted a lot in my decision to buy a 3D printer, because the printer had to help me gain back the space it took in one way or another.
out of all of RUclips, your channel is one of them. seriously, I genuinely enjoy your content more than just about any other. I watch almost everything at 2x, a few things at 1.5x... but to catch all of the puns and jokes, my brain can't keep up unless I am at real time. I wish I had found you sooner. I'm 47, and I want to be like you when I grow up.
That carousel isn't a huge departure from industrial grade models. Absolutely brilliant porting to Gridfinity and the optimization in parts was *chef's kiss*.
Hey Zack! I was so thrilled to see that you featured my Matrixed Marble Machines monstrosity on your channel! I've been a huge fan of your videos and of Gridfinity for a long time now. For those who may care, not all of the MMM modules are paid; there are a few free ones too. I debated about making them all free but man it just sucked so much of my time and filament to perfect, that... well you know. If you're having problems printing some of the taller risers, just print a few shorter ones and stack them up. Modular is good that way.
The cardboard bins are brilliant. Its something I often see as a flaw in a lot of 3d projects which is to say printing the whole thing. With tons of great ready made materials like PVC or ABS pipe, or in this case carboard, you can save so much time and filament by designing around these materials and assembling the final product. For example, in another week there is going to be tons of abandoned corrugated plastic signs on the roadside that would be perfect to recycle into something more useful than their original purpose.
I use those plastic signs for a ton of stuff - adding rigidity to the saddlebags on my bike, making louvered window shades and vent covers, covering wire-rack shelving to stop small stuff from falling through, turning canvas totes into semi-rigid bottle carriers, basically anything you could do with cardboard but want it to be waterproof and bug resistant instead.
Those things are great. Used one with a $5 yoga stepper as an arcade stick enclosure. Holds all the electronic guts inside perfectly and so easy to add/change things out
Re. those signs, corrugated plastic/corflute type materials have _insane_ strength-to-weight along their vertical axis. You can laminate a few layers together in the same orientation for load-bearing purposes, or alternating 90° layers for plywood-like panels that stay rigid on both axes. It's relatively weatherproof, a great insulator, easy to cut/shape with basic tools, and you can even seal the ends with epoxy for added longevity. They're a perfect candidate for a scaled-up version of the Shitfinity concept. You could print up some corner and edge brackets to make boxes/crates, or top and bottom sleeve rings to bend one or more sheets into a cylinder for stuff like parts bins, wastebaskets, or rod/dowel storage.
Hey Zack, I absolutely think you should look at using the planetary gear concept as your core technology. The belt driven version was giving me proxy-anxiety 😆 Just setting up a wall of the carousels with pis and ergableds seems excellent, but I think you need to print some double scale or more to fit your bigger objects. The problem with the carousel format is that the higher the objects you need to fit, the deeper the carousel needs to be (c.f. original fat-book carousel). If you did something extra like a carousel of carousels, it'd get enormous quickly. OTOH a wall of carousels can have the DB find the correct carousel, light it up like a disco, spin the correct bin to the front, and still be pretty damn cool. You'd have top-shelf-bottom-shelf items still, which would be sad.
I find it interesting that the 42mm x 42mm system just so happened to align itself with tabletop gaming mini sizes. The motorized carousel also seems to be fairly useful, if you don’t have any tall items to store.
What I love about all of this, is this entire open source, community driven project was started because some other 3D print RUclipsr was monetizing his organization system and keeping it behind a paywall. It's amazing how much further something can do when it's community driven. And this applies to just about everything in life.
I've been nonstop printing gridfinity for months to organize my shop. I'm not super organized so its great to see everything much cleaner. I look forward to printing many many motorized carousels. Thanks for all of this!!!
That carousel, if you put the ergableds in it, and hook up your organiser system would be a more fun video to watch than watching you design it from scratch. Partially because it means it will get done and watching you suffer isnt fun, but also just because The gear design is gorgeous. It highlights a fantastic model, and shows how you took it further, while also showing us something we can do.
I can't lie I have had my Ender 3 S1 running nonstop to print gridfinity bases that screw together, I love using it as a storage system but the fact that people are using it as DnD and Missle Launchers is just proof that a standardized square template is EXACTLY what the 3D printing community needed
I do not own a 3D printer and watching your content makes me want to never own one because of how fantastic and engaging the hobby and community are. I would get SO wrapped up in it. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and for enduring the suffering of printing such difficult projects.
Taking the carosel and using it for your purpose is A-OK in my book. Especially considering how mammoth of an undertaking routing RGB signals to the rotating platforms is going to be. Godspeed Zack!
6:50 I'm so used to "print" meaning 3D print by default that I didn't get this pun for like 20 minutes despite watching this segment back several times..
Dude, the belt clip seems dumb at first but if you're using gridfinity for hobby or garage organization, being able to quickly take a few part or small tool bins with you hands-free could be a lifesaver. Also, if you're going to go through the trouble of packing the carousel with argableds, might as well throw an encoder in the base, nfc readers in the bin slots, and tags in the bins. Index whatever is on the carousel, integrate it with home assistant or home kit, and bam: call out what you need and the carousel turns to it for you
@@gcewing There already will be consequences. When a DM mentions the size of the room, chances are, the rest of your party is going to take damage. That's why it's funny.
I'm adapting Gridfinity to tabletop gaming and hobbying. I use Painter's Fortress to store my paints, but Gridfinity to store tools. I have a secondary baseplate for use when I need to hobby somewhere other than my painting station. For gaming, I'm making bins to hold dice and counters, adapting dashboards to the Gridfinity system, and storing minis in stackable bins to get the most bang for my buck for the volume my shelves can hold
The cardboard one is my favourite from this video, mainly for how it limits the amount of waste plastic! But oh man, we learned about the book carousel in art history, and seeing @NichFugal had perfected a Gridfinity version makes my heart so happy! Maybe one day I will get a printer.
Love you videos man. I started watching your about a week after your last video and have binged almost every other one since. You and Brooke keep up the great work!
Holy shit that Dungeon Master book would've been an instant buy for me 10 years ago when I was doing DnD with friends at uni. Just a great way to store your dice, notes, minis and all the other crap.
@@famitory Well yeah, but like I was thinking and I don't think actual eurorack would be practical. Custom made/adapted modules would have to be the way to go but the size would still be an issue
that carousel is so cool, and using it for your project (with proper attribution) fits its CC 4.0 license, so personally i don't see an issue. it might even make room for some clickbait about "my viewers did the work for me!!!" or whatever, lol
I just wanted to pop in and say that you’ve quickly become my all-time favorite RUclips channel. Your videos are so quality, informative, and have such personality Also I wanted to say something to please the algorithm overlords so more people get these suggested to them 😅
Zack, I remember the Radio Shack circuit toy things! You're not the only dinosaur. Loved that as a kid! Also my coworker literally has one sitting on her desk right now, it's awesome.
Hello Mr. Freedman, thank you for posting this video. It made me feel good. You are a very entertaining, charismatic and likeable person. Your videos alone make you a very valuable addition to mankind. I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the future.
Hey Mum I'm famous! Was listening and heard my handle and was a bit taken a back, thanks for shouting it out. Thanks for making gridfinity open source ya' fucken' legend.
Easily the Gridfinity Dungeon Kit is my jam. I've seen ways to make dungeons via 3d printing, but nothing to really keep the pieces together besides interlocking them like puzzle pieces which just makes assembly/disassembly a chore. Gridfinity is in fact the answer. As a bonus, if you put magnets in the dungeon tiles and the figurines, they snap to place and prevent the awkward "oops, I'm half way onto someone else's tile and moved them" scenarios.
That is genius of truly great engineering, 'it' being used to make something that was way outside of the original spec. Cudos to you and the community!
I love how gridfinity is expanding, it really goes to show that it is living up to Zack's dreams of something that is widespread and has infinite(ish) options is happening.
To quote you from your previous video: "Is it cheating? WHO CARES?" If someone else's work is the ideal solution to your problem, just use it and be glad you didn't have to do all that hard work yourself.
In all of the possible directions to mention, I'm surprised you didn't mention upside down. Under-table cable management would be amazing with the magnet-based system. Have a management rail pop into the grid, and you can have realistically any variety of rail possible while also being modular and tesselate the footprint of a desk properly. Modify the gridfinity square to have a hole for a countersink screw for mounting, the grid itself would be secure and have amazing distribution of holding capacity, and coupled with the four magnets per tile any accessory on top also has the same capacity of security and holding distribution. If someone wanted fasteners instead of magnets, I'm sure modifying gridfinity to hold a nut from the back (table-nut-grid sandwich) with a screw on the rail cover's side would be more than sufficient enough, or even a clip-based system, etc. Gridfinity could easily be the cable management endgame.
I got banned from your discord server for asking "What's project 2025" in response to another user who mentioned it; because I live in Japan and genuinely never heard of it. They started typing in caps saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Then "Ban this troll!" Then I was banned without so much as a warning. Dude, your discord channel is run by actual trigger happy fascists. Forcibly suppressing anything they even remotely deem as dissent. Are you aware of this? I was a member of that discord for like, 3 years and joined for 3D printing, I don't care about politics! No chance to appeal the ban or anything. Like, sorry I'm not super invested in American politics, I didn't realize that was a requirement to join what's essentially a 3D printing server.
@@Pyrichia I suppose so, the strange thing is I never said anything that was pro-trump. I didn't give any indication of my political affiliation at all, just my unawareness as to what project 2025 was. But, getting a small glimpse at the authoritarian and fascistic way they want to run things, thank God Trump won!
@CyricRO Project 2025 isn't even Trump's dream project. He's a New York Democrat from the 1980s template. Project 2025 is just the kind of reports think tanks make to stay relevant, on both sides. They dream up their magical list of things that'll fix the country, then push anything from it they can. And almost none of it actually happens. It was ill timed, but it was never Trump's ideas. The left just pretends it is so they can point at it and go "ooh, scary," usually lie about its scope and reach, and pretend Trump is going to do all of it. These people know it's just political theater and they do it anyway. If you're curious, you can look up Project 2025, fill out fake info, and get the entire PDF for free. It's interesting reading.
About the motorized carousel: Level1: Use different buttons like 1-5 for each tray instead of up and down. Level2: use nfc tags for example on your soldering iron to get the tray with soldering stuff. Level3: voice control Level4: conveyor belt instead of carousel with more trays
I can't spend money on patreon as I'm house poor and have kids and I try to never comment on social media. But for you Zack you peddler of parallelogram puns: HEY RUclips ALGORYTHIM, LISTEN UP! My favorite model from This Video was the clock. It reminded me of the Corridor Digital videos where they challenge themselves to make the most satisfying CGI repeating animations. My first impulse was to send this video to my friend who 3d prints (I would but again, kids) and try to nerd peer pressure him into building it.
I have seen your thumbnails for a long time, but yesterday I finally clicked. I have been binging your videos ever since and you are quickly one of my favorite creators on RUclips. I love your insane creativity and your 1999 vision of the future. We would be best friends if we ever met.
I love your content, and i think the gridfinity system is abosutly genius and am glad you shared it with the world, and that the world is sharing it back. Keep up the good work.
when you mentioned a motorized aspect to the automated storage index project, I pictured something like an automated Amazon warehouse that goes and retrieves the parts you're looking for and puts them in a little box for you.
I really don't think its cheating to take the carousel idea and make it your way, that is how progress is made building up the ideals of others. Which is how that carousel came to be anyway - whomever it was who designed it in effect ripped off an ancient mechanism and your gridfinity concepts to make something cool. Honour the folks who's ideas you are building on whenever possible and never feel guilt for doing so. (pay them for it if they are not true open sourcing it - its their work and should be their decision if you have to pay for it)
For the computerized storage, print 5 carousels and put them on a larger carousel, just to make it a challenge. Would love to see some kind of digital storage like this. I love mixing mechanical with digital. Good luck and even if you fail or don't try, I'll watch all your vids anyway!
Thanks for making Gridfinity. I use it both physically and in my (limited) cadding, literally most of the day. I finally find the shit I need faster - first order retrieval has become trivial. Thanks for making me hit ENTER after sponsor block... 😀 Cardboard bins, for sure.
Thanks for the shout-out of my cardboard bins. I'm still amazed how this stupid little gag turned into something people genuinely like.
not so shit post, also well done and very deserved shout out
It saves filament, reuses something that would otherwise be trash, is faster to make, and is genuinely pretty clever.

If someone else's work is the ideal solution to your problem, just use it and be glad you didn't have to do all that hard work yourself.
I took a screenshot of your comment and sent it to Zack, cause I agree with you/past him
I had to watch that bit without your bionics twice because it surprised me so much I just kinda stared at the screen like a goofball
In all of the possible directions to mention, I'm surprised you didn't mention upside down. Under-table cable management would be amazing with the magnet-based system. Have a management rail pop into the grid, and you can have realistically any variety of rail possible while also being modular and tesselate the footprint of a desk properly. Modify the gridfinity square to have a hole for a countersink screw for mounting, the grid itself would be secure and have amazing distribution of holding capacity, and coupled with the four magnets per tile any accessory on top also has the same capacity of security and holding distribution. If someone wanted fasteners instead of magnets, I'm sure modifying gridfinity to hold a nut from the back (table-nut-grid sandwich) with a screw on the rail cover's side would be more than sufficient enough, or even a clip-based system, etc. Gridfinity could easily be the cable management endgame.
I got banned from your discord server for asking "What's project 2025" in response to another user who mentioned it; because I live in Japan and genuinely never heard of it.
They started typing in caps saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
Then "Ban this troll!"
Then I was banned without so much as a warning. Dude, your discord channel is run by actual trigger happy fascists.
Forcibly suppressing anything they even remotely deem as dissent. Are you aware of this?
I was a member of that discord for like, 3 years and joined for 3D printing, I don't care about politics!
No chance to appeal the ban or anything. Like, sorry I'm not super invested in American politics, I didn't realize that was a requirement to join what's essentially a 3D printing server.
Terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome. You have not lost much--and, thankfully, Gridfinity is bigger than Zach now.
@@Pyrichia I suppose so, the strange thing is I never said anything that was pro-trump. I didn't give any indication of my political affiliation at all, just my unawareness as to what project 2025 was.
But, getting a small glimpse at the authoritarian and fascistic way they want to run things, thank God Trump won!
@CyricRO Project 2025 isn't even Trump's dream project. He's a New York Democrat from the 1980s template. Project 2025 is just the kind of reports think tanks make to stay relevant, on both sides. They dream up their magical list of things that'll fix the country, then push anything from it they can. And almost none of it actually happens. It was ill timed, but it was never Trump's ideas. The left just pretends it is so they can point at it and go "ooh, scary," usually lie about its scope and reach, and pretend Trump is going to do all of it. These people know it's just political theater and they do it anyway.
If you're curious, you can look up Project 2025, fill out fake info, and get the entire PDF for free. It's interesting reading.
About the motorized carousel:
Level1: Use different buttons like 1-5 for each tray instead of up and down.
Level2: use nfc tags for example on your soldering iron to get the tray with soldering stuff.
Level3: voice control
Level4: conveyor belt instead of carousel with more trays
I dont understand the redit sidebar
4:10 proud user of sponsor block; well until google kills that option next year
Use a proper browser
Simply don't use chrome lmao
mozilla's looking pretty good!
You can skip video sections that are skiped often (or something like that) like sponsors or intros automatically soooo say by to that
9:25 That was an extremely clever pun. It kind of caught me off guard. Congratulations. That should go in the nerd puns hall of fame in my opinion.
I can't spend money on patreon as I'm house poor and have kids and I try to never comment on social media. But for you Zack you peddler of parallelogram puns:
HEY RUclips ALGORYTHIM, LISTEN UP! My favorite model from This Video was the clock. It reminded me of the Corridor Digital videos where they challenge themselves to make the most satisfying CGI repeating animations. My first impulse was to send this video to my friend who 3d prints (I would but again, kids) and try to nerd peer pressure him into building it.
“I can always feel worse” touched my soul
I have seen your thumbnails for a long time, but yesterday I finally clicked. I have been binging your videos ever since and you are quickly one of my favorite creators on RUclips. I love your insane creativity and your 1999 vision of the future. We would be best friends if we ever met.
Zack could use more friends, feel free to put in an application
I was wondering when the next video was coming out. Yay!
Maybe the verb at 10:55 should be 'gridfinitizing' - to convert something to conform to the gridfinity standard.
Love the organization carrousel, so cool!
Great video! The rotating gridfinity at the end was great!
I printed the pooprolls version but since i didn't have cardboard i used aluminum from coke cans. Arguably, i feel its better then the cardboard.
I love your content, and i think the gridfinity system is abosutly genius and am glad you shared it with the world, and that the world is sharing it back. Keep up the good work.
Being called a parasocial pal is the nicest thing anyone has said to me! I love you Zach, I mean Zaque, shit I mean Zack.
Humans play, its how they learn and experiment. Even if something is, in fact, 100% useless, the things learned making it aren't.
when you mentioned a motorized aspect to the automated storage index project, I pictured something like an automated Amazon warehouse that goes and retrieves the parts you're looking for and puts them in a little box for you.
0:59 That's what I'm talking about! Love you brother!
I love the cleverly organized chaos of his narration
..... that Tiki Bar pun..... that was peak punnage and I am glaring accordingly.
I think you mean T key bar.
Love these ones!! Definitely going to print the D&D stuff!
I really don't think its cheating to take the carousel idea and make it your way, that is how progress is made building up the ideals of others. Which is how that carousel came to be anyway - whomever it was who designed it in effect ripped off an ancient mechanism and your gridfinity concepts to make something cool. Honour the folks who's ideas you are building on whenever possible and never feel guilt for doing so. (pay them for it if they are not true open sourcing it - its their work and should be their decision if you have to pay for it)
The DND board was some of the coolest I've seen. It seems to fit the format so well
I was just about to send some baseplates to the printer to start organizing my kitchen with gridfinity!
That carrousel is great. I've been thinking about a paternoster lift style system for storage, this looks easier to build.
I literally don't think I have ever spotted a hidden supporter name despite watching every video on this channel.
WRONG!! i'm doing gridfinity wrong by not
The Gridfinity cyberdeck was my favorite. :)
u are absolutely a genius , ty for all your vids
The best thing about gridfinity is the HeroQuest tie-in!
I 100% had one of those RadioShack laptop-style circuit project set :P
Thanks for reminding me of my oldness!
Wow, who knew how many uses there are for Gridfinity. Well done.
"no one is doing gridfinity wrong" you say? Someone should take that challenge 😂
The way the gearing works on that carousel is very clever. No need to balance the contents is great
For the computerized storage, print 5 carousels and put them on a larger carousel, just to make it a challenge. Would love to see some kind of digital storage like this. I love mixing mechanical with digital. Good luck and even if you fail or don't try, I'll watch all your vids anyway!
I don't know why but I love listening to the patreon names. Its a toss up between the cyberdeck and the carousel!
Thanks for making Gridfinity.
I use it both physically and in my (limited) cadding, literally most of the day. I finally find the shit I need faster - first order retrieval has become trivial.
Thanks for making me hit ENTER after sponsor block... 😀
Cardboard bins, for sure.
9:38 You can search for words in each DM seperately, so if you go through and search for a keyword from their message you can probably still find it.
I've been working on adapting an old 90's board game into a Gridfinity-based version.
The carousel is definitely my favourite, and I'm absolutely gonna print that once I have some time again
