Which style should I print?
Thin is the default: fastest print, lowest height, fine for desks. Choose skeletonized to cut filament use on large plates; add screw holes when the plate lives in a moving drawer.
Gridfinity baseplate generator for drawers and desks
Pick how many 42 mm grid cells you need, choose a thin or skeletonized profile, and add magnet or screw holes. The baseplate rebuilds live as parametric CAD — and if your drawer needs an odd fill or a cut corner, the AI agent can edit the same model.
- - Exact Gridfinity socket profile — bins click in with zero slop
- - Thin style for minimal height, skeletonized to save filament
- - Magnet (Ø6 × 2 mm) and countersunk M3 screw options
- - Odd-shaped drawer? Ask the agent to trim the plate to fit
Parameters you can tune
Each parameter below rebuilds real geometry on every change — this is parametric CAD, not a scaled mesh.
| Parameter | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grid units X | 4 u | 1 – 10 | Baseplate width in 42 mm units. |
| Grid units Y | 3 u | 1 – 10 | Baseplate depth in 42 mm units. |
| Plate style | thin | thin / skeletonized | Thin saves height; skeletonized saves filament. |
| Magnet holes | False | on / off | Ø6 × 2 mm pockets matching bin magnets. |
| Screw holes | False | on / off | Countersunk M3 holes to fix the plate down. |
How it works
- 1.Open the generator — the model builds right in your browser, nothing to install.
- 2.Tune dimensions and options in the parameter panel; the geometry rebuilds live in 3D.
- 3.Export STL / STEP / 3MF for printing — or ask the AI agent for features beyond the sliders.
FAQ
How do I cover a whole drawer?
Measure the drawer, divide by 42 mm to get grid counts, and print multiple plates if the drawer exceeds your printer bed. For the remainder gap, remix the model and ask the agent for a custom-width filler strip.
Are the sockets compatible with all Gridfinity bins?
Yes — the socket profile follows the open Gridfinity spec used by gridfinity-rebuilt and MakerWorld generators, so standard bins from any generator click in.
