Questions
What magnets does Gridfinity use?
6 mm diameter by 2 mm thick discs. The pocket here is 6.5 mm wide and 2.4 mm deep so they press in.
Do I need both magnets and screws?
No. Magnets alone hold bins in place; screws lock a baseplate to a surface. Both are available together.
Which way do the magnets face?
Check polarity with one test pair before gluing the rest, so every bin and baseplate pocket attract.
