Hi Product Hunt!
Devon here, co-founder of tooltrace.ai.
We originally launched Tooltrace here last year with a simple goal: make it easy for anyone to turn a photo of their tools into a custom foam insert or 3D-printed organizer, without needing CAD experience.
Since then, thousands of people have used Tooltrace for workshops, tool drawers, Gridfinity setups, 5S workstations, shadow boards, and more. Your feedback has shaped nearly everything we’ve built, and we’re excited to share our biggest update yet.
You can now:
- Fine-tune outlines for a more precise fit
- Arrange and zoom into shapes with our redesigned layout workspace
- Split larger bins to fit smaller printers
- Remove wasted bin space with Puzzle Piece Mode
- Add custom text to traces
- Undo, redo, and add simple shapes
- Discover and share designs through the Tooltrace Community
- Order finished organizers through the Tooltrace Print Farm
You can still export designs for 3D printing or laser cutting your own foam. If you don’t have the equipment, the Print Farm gives you another way to bring your organizer to life.
If you’ve shared feedback, reported a bug, or told someone about Tooltrace—thank you!
David and I will be here all day, and we’d love to hear what you think, what you’re organizing, and what we should build next.
With gratitude,
Devon
@devon_copeland I too have the dreaded CDO (it's like OCD but the letters are in order like they should be), but I also have Aphantasia, so I can't picture what something should look like until I've seen it - so this helps me see my gridfinity tray layouts. Thank You!!
One pro feature I'd like to see is where you can customise/specify the tray size, I'd like to also be able to set the U height, just because my tool only needs a 10mm recess does not necesarily mean I don't want a taller tray, especially if I have a second layer and want to be able to stack across combinations of trays. I guess this would need to be 2 types of U height - lift the lip to that U height, or lift the whole tray face so the lip is at that height - 2 options depending on where the padding goes, above or below the cutout.
I'm going to use this to fix up a mess I created using a universal model that really didn't do too well.
@paul_bowles Nice! Would love to see the final result!
@trillhouse Haha thanks Millin!
