Boost Me (for free)
I usually don’t ask for this, but I’ve noticed that many creators actively encourage it on other platforms—and it makes sense, as it helps increase visibility.So, if you can follow me, it would make difference. It’s a great way to support my work and show appreciation.

Essential Tools & Accessories A1 & A1 mini
This project introduces a versatile modular storage solution, the Rack4All-Storage unit, specifically designed to complement your tools. The Rack4All-Storage unit is a straightforward yet highly effective modular rack system that integrates seamlessly into your workspace. More information about the 4All ecosystem of products. I designed the Rack4ll to accommodate the original Bambu Lab cardboard filament boxes, open spools, and all kinds of accessories in the latter, keeping them neatly organized and easily identifiable within dedicated drawers. Beyond this, the Rack4All fully supports the integration of Gridfinity modules. These modules are precisely dimensioned to the Gridfinity standard, offering an incredibly flexible way to customize your storage for tools, parts, and accessories, ensuring everything you need is always within reach and perfectly organized.
The Rack4All Ecosystem
What is it?
So here starts a comprehensive Gridfinity organization solution designed for Bambu Lab H2D users, with much to come in the near future. This system brings essential tools and components together in a compact, easily accessible arrangement, enhancing your workspace efficiency, which makes it part of the Rack4All Storage ecosystem.
1. Storage box for flush-cut pliers
What is it
This module offers secure storage, in addition to providing two small pockets that you can use to collect filament scraps. The idea is simple: make your cut inside the pockets, and the filament should remain there. This tool, one of the most widely used in 3D printing but also one of the most injury-prone due to its sharpness, allows for precise cuts at a specific angle. Whenever the filament insists on not passing through a certain point, a bevel cut of the filament will likely solve the problem. This tool also plays an important role in support removal, as it allows for the removal of structures very close to the part without tearing them off. However, it is a tool very similar to an X-Acto knife; if left unprotected, it can cause injury. It's important to keep the tool protected inside a box, and when outside of it, you should use the accompanying protection.
2. Storage box for the hexagonal provided with the Bambu Lab A1 series printers
What is it
This module is designed to store flat-nose pliers, which many people own. I know it's not a universal solution, but within a few days, I'll be adding an extra module that should work for the vast majority of cases.
These pliers are mainly used to assist with support removal. Their ability to grip without slipping is important when you're trying to remove stubborn supports by hand. Besides pulling, it may also be necessary to apply some twisting force during support removal.
3. Deburring tools
What is it
The deburring tool is a more specialized, yet very important, tool for removing brims, but also for somewhat compensating for the "elephant's foot" effect (thickening of the first layers), which can hinder the proper functioning and assembly of functional parts.
I've designed modules for the two most common models. I know there are other variations, but it would be too complex for me to make them all. These are the two I have, and as such, they are the two I offer you.
4. Module for storing "Bambu Filament Swatches.
What is it
Module for storing "Bambu Filament Swatches." Similar to previous models, this is a module created with a Gridfinity container, though in this case, it's a bit more elaborate in terms of assembly due to the sliding button that will raise the filament samples to facilitate their removal.
How to use
The slot can be used as you like for organizing. The four rows correspond to the slots available on one AMS unit, and the five lines represent five AMS units. However, these slots can also be used to separate swatches corresponding to the filament you intend to purchase in your next order.
To keep the model simple, it's advisable not to take out too many samples at once, as they might eventually fall like dominoes. However, with some care, you can remove those you need, placing them in the available slots next to the QR Code. The QR Code is designed for quick filament access; if you enter the 5-digit code from each sample into the link provided by the QR Code (also found on the "Bambu Filament Swatches" cardboard box), you will be directed straight to the specific filament.
I also recommend this very useful link to help determine which colour combinations work best:

Design Philosophy & System Vision
The design philosophy for these bins, and indeed for all our creations, revolves around practical utility combined with thoughtful aesthetics. We believe organizational tools should not only be functional but also pleasant to interact with. By elevating the components and designing for multi-color printing, the aim is to create bins that look great on your workbench and improve your workflow.
These specialized modules are another step in expanding the "Rack4All—Storage System." We've also made available the "Parametric Model Maker - Gridfinity - Rack4all Ed." tool directly on the MakerWorld site. This tool allows you to create custom Gridfinity bins, with or without dividers, that are also compatible with the Rack4All system. Our vision is to provide a comprehensive, adaptable, and user-friendly storage ecosystem that evolves with the needs of the 3D printing community.
Curious About My Tools? Check This Out!
For those of you who often ask about the tools I use to bring ideas to life, this article, The Journey From Idea To Object (Part I), offers some insights into the initial stages. It highlights the use of various tools, including software like Autodesk Fusion for CAD design, Blender for render and Bambu Studio for 3D printing preparation, and other...
