GridFlock Generator

This is the model generator for GridFlock. Any changes you make are saved in the URL, so you can share that URL or create a bookmark to keep those changes around.

Feb 16: I've turned off magnets by default because most people don't use them. If you've saved a design with magnets, you will have to manually turn them on again below.

Parameters

do_half_x
If there's not enough space for a full grid cell, squeeze in a half cell (x direction)

do_half_y
If there's not enough space for a full grid cell, squeeze in a half cell (y direction)

bottom_chamfer
Chamfer at the bottom edge of the plate. Configurable for each edge individually (clockwise: north, east, south, west)

top_chamfer
Chamfer at the top edge of the plate. Configurable for each edge individually (clockwise: north, east, south, west)

alignment
Padding alignment. The first value is the x direction (east/west), the second value the y direction (north/south). When padding is added to the build plate, this alignment is used to distribute it. A lower value will move the grid towards the west/south direction, adding more padding to the east/north

Magnets

magnet_top
Wall above the magnet. Should be small for maximum magnet strength

magnet_bottom
Floor below the magnet. Not structurally important, should be small to minimize filament use

Click latch (Experimental)

click1
Enable the click latch. WARNING: The plastic can deform over time, do not use PLA! PETG might be fine, but there are no long-term tests yet

click1_inner_length
Length of the straight piece in the middle of the click latch. The arced pieces take up the remaining space

click1_strength
Thickness of the click latch. This is measured from the bottom of the baseplate profile

click1_wall_strength
Thickness of the non-bending wall behind the click latch. This wall provides stability and prevents the click latch from bending too far

Intersection Puzzle Connector

connector_intersection_puzzle
Enable the intersection puzzle plate connector. This is similar to GridPlates/GRIPS. Small puzzle connectors are added cell intersections.

intersection_puzzle_fit
A value from 0 to 1 to modify the fit of the intersection puzzle connector. 0 is a loose fit, 1 is a tight fit.

Edge Puzzle Connector

connector_edge_puzzle
Enable the edge puzzle plate connector. This connector is a bit cleaner, but is harder to print, especially when magnets are disabled (not enough vertical space). It's also more customizable, so you can tune the fit to your printer.

edge_puzzle_gap
Clearance of the puzzle connector. The female side is larger than the above dimensions by this amount

edge_puzzle_magnet_border
If magnets are enabled, use the vertical space to add a border to the female puzzle socket, for added stability and better printability

edge_puzzle_height_female
Height of the edge puzzle connector (female side, male is smaller by edge_puzzle_height_male_delta). You can set this to the full height, but make sure that no pieces of the segment remain unconnected!

edge_puzzle_height_male_delta
Male side of the edge puzzle connector is smaller than the female side by this amount

Numbering

number_squeeze_size
When a segment is very narrow, use this reduced number size. Should rarely be relevant

Plate wall

plate_wall_thickness
Plate wall thickness. Can be specified for each direction individually (north, east, south, west). Note that this is *added* to the plate_size

plate_wall_height
Plate wall height. The first value is the height above the plate, the second value the height below the plate

Vertical Screws

vertical_screw_countersink_top
Top countersink dimension. First value is the diameter of the screw head, second value the height

vertical_screw_counterbore_top
Top counterbore dimension. First value is the diameter of the screw head, second value the height

vertical_screw_plate_corner_inset
Distance from the edge (in number of cells) for an intersection to qualify as a plate corner

vertical_screw_segment_corners
Enable screws at *segment* corners that are not also plate corners

vertical_screw_segment_corner_inset
Distance from the edge (in number of cells) for an intersection to qualify as a segment corner

vertical_screw_segment_edges
Enable screws at *segment* edges (will interfere with intersection connectors!)

Thumb Screw

thumbscrews
Generate thumb screw cutouts compatible with 'Gridfinity Refined'. This requires solid_base or magnets with

Segmentation

x_segment_algorithm
Select the algorithm for splitting the baseplate into segments along the x axis. The default ideal algorithm splits the plate into roughly equally-sized segments. The incremental algorithm produces as many maximum-size segments as possible, and one smaller segment for the remaining cells.

y_row_count_first
In the y direction, segment sizes are determined by a simple algorithm that only resizes the first and last segments. The number of rows for the first segment alternate to avoid 4-way intersections. You can override the number of rows in the start segment for the odd and even columns with this property

x_column_count_first
If the 'incremental' x segment algorithm is chosen, this can be used to override the column count in the first segment.

Advanced

plate_corner_radius
Corner radius of the generated plate. The default of 4mm matches the corner radius of the gridfinity cell

edge_adjust
Edge adjustment values (clockwise: north, east, south, west). These values are *added* to the plate size as padding, i.e. the final plate will end up different than configured in plate_size. This allows you to customize the padding to be asymmetrical. You can also use negative values to "cut" the plate edges if you want to squeeze an extra square out of limited space.

cell_override
Override the content of individual cells. Each character in this string modifies one cell. The order goes from west to east, then south to north. A 'c' stands for a normal cell. An 's' stands for a solid plate without a cell cutout. An 'e' stands for an empty square
