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.

Parameters

bed size
The bed size of the printer, e.g. 250x220 for the Prusa Core One

plate size
The size of the grid plate to generate

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)

Magnets

magnets
Whether to enable friction-fit magnets for each grid cell

magnet style
Magnet style

magnet diameter
Diameter of the magnet slot

magnet height
Height of the magnet slot

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

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.

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 count
Number of puzzle connectors per cell

edge puzzle dim
Dimensions of the male puzzle connector (main piece)

edge puzzle dim c
Dimensions of the male puzzle connector (bridge to plate)

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 magnet border width
Size of the added border

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

numbering
Enable numbering of the segements, embossed in a corner

number depth
Depth of the embossing

number size
Font size of the numbers

number font
Font

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

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.
