Editing one bin—
Measure the drawer in
Count the cells of the baseplate you already have and these fill the drawer size in — 4 × 6 cells is a 168 × 252 mm drawer. Measure the real drawer where you can: the leftover millimetres are what tell you whether the last bin fits.
Usable height is drawer floor to the lowest thing above. Baseplate height is 4.25 mm unless your joint forced a solid floor — the baseplate tool passes the real figure across.
Only affects the material estimate, not the geometry. Thin parts — walls, floor, dividers, lip — print solid whatever you set; the feet are thick enough to be infilled, and they dominate. Assumes 2 perimeters and 4 solid top/bottom layers.

Not listed? Pick the size nearest below your bed, or Custom and type it in. Beds are always in millimetres — every maker quotes them that way.
Bins print upright, so a bin's own height has to clear your Z. A tall drawer will happily let you ask for a bin taller than the printer can make.
With a price set, a cost goes beside every gram figure; leave it empty and none is shown. Both settings stay on this device, are shared with the baseplates page and never go in the link. The speed only steers the print time, which is a rough estimate from the filament and the layer count — only your slicer can give the real one.
A half cell is 21 mm. Half-size bins have small feet that fit any Gridfinity baseplate, two to a socket.

Dividers are counts of walls, not compartments — 1 divider makes 2 compartments.
A bin marked printed stays in the drawer and in the layout, and drops out of the print plates, the STL downloads and the filament estimate. It is what you want when you are filling a drawer a few prints at a time.
Finger slot:
A U-shaped dip in the top of the wall, one per compartment, for getting a finger in. Like a lowered wall, it removes the stacking lip.
A scoop fills the front inside corner with a curve so you can sweep contents out — try 8 mm. The label shelf juts in from the top of the back wall with a 45° underside, so it prints without support; 12 mm suits a printed label. Both need their wall to exist.
Front is the front of the drawer, matching the map. Corner posts stay full height and a lowered wall ramps up to meet them, so the side walls keep their ends — a wall that stopped square against the post snapped off there. The ramp is 8.5 mm at each end whatever the bin’s footprint, so a wider bin keeps the same corner and gains a longer flat opening. Lowering any wall removes the stacking lip — nothing can sit on it.

Steps

Drag across empty cells to place a bin. Click one to select it, drag it to move it, or pull a corner grip to resize. A ⚠ marks a bin that will not sit properly where it is — hover ittap it for the reason. It stays put either way, in case you are about to place the thing that fixes it. Alt-click a cell inside the selected bin to carve it out, or alt-click a gap to put it back — that is how you make an L or a U.To make an L or a U, tap a bin, press Carve this bin into a shape in panel 03, then tap the cells to cut out — tap a gap to put one back.
Keys: Del removes the selected bin, arrows nudge it, shift+arrows resize it, Ctrl+D duplicates, Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z undo and redo.
Carve this bin
▾ front of bin
Click a cell to cut it out, click a gap to put it back — that is how you make an L, a U or a notch. A cell greyed out is one the drawer cannot give back, because another bin is sitting on it. Press Escape or Done carving when you have the shape you want.
