Description

7x8 Gridfinity compatible baseplate for Zack Freedman's Gridfinity storage system, split into 4 puzzle pieces for printing on a smaller printer.

This is designed in such a way so that the base plates cannot be separated if moved front to back, such as in a cube shelving unit, though in practice the friction lock between the pieces keeps it from moving in any directions.

My particular cube shelf was close to 8 units deep by 7 units wide, which is what this is designed to accommodate in as few prints as possible while still limited to the buildplate size of a smaller printer.

The individual pieces fit within a 5x5 gridfinity grid, so if your printer can fit a 5x5 gridfinity plate (210x210mm) you can print these without rotation.

Since the pieces are mirrored, you will need to print 2 of each for a 7x8 plate.

How I Designed This

Fusion 360.

Originally based on the technical specs at https://gridfinity.xyz/specification/, though later directly using Zach's baseplate fusion file and editing it, since the specs are slightly off (some clearances are not captured in the specs as written on that site that are present in the original Fusion file).
