This looks like it would solve a problem for me, thanks for sharing! Candidly, I'm a bit turned off by the name, the framing as a "toy", and honestly the ergonomics of the website (compared to similar systems like https://gridfinity.xyz/ or https://gridbeam.xyz/), but the underlying system seems like what I'm looking for.

I've been prototyping some models with a 3D printer, and have unfortunately been building my own sort of "construction set" so that I can minimize my print times and only reprint the parts that have changed. This means that I can mostly print flat pieces, which take an hour rather than 12 hours, but trying to invent a modularity system takes time (and iterations), which detracts from iterating on the thing I'm actually working on.

For anyone having trouble navigating the website, I'd recommend starting at https://www.stemfie.org/parts?view=category&id=14, or maybe skimming https://thangs.com/designer/Stemfie3D/sort/downloads if you just want to see the most commonly used pieces.



Yeah... I have a similar problem I want to work on in the coming months that I think people traditionally often used to solve with the help of Fischertechnik and the like, so this might be helpful there.


Do you mind sharing what you’re working on? I’m curious!


yeah, this website is like endless ikea. is there a word of explanation anywhere?
