How to Design and 3D Print the Perfect Storage System

Keeping my workspace organized has always been a challenge, but instead of buying generic storage solutions, I used my 3D printer to create a system that works for me.

In this video, I’ll take you through how I designed and printed custom organizers—from laser-cut Gridfinity baseplates to shadowboxes for my tools.

Whether you’re a beginner using Tinkercad or proficient with Fusion 360, I’ll show you my process step by step. Plus, I’ll share tips on optimizing space, time, waste, and cost.
