Model Overview & Print Notes

TLDR These use half the filament and print much faster compared to normal baseplates. A 4x4 in just 14 minutes of print time! Drop down the “Open in Bambu Studio” button and click “Download STL/CAD File” to download the pre-made sizes. Or use the “Customize” button to make your own. 0.8 nozzle recommended for ultra fast prints but 0.4 or any nozzle is great also. What's Different? I made this from scratch to make it parametric and ultra light. Here's why this prints faster and with less filament: Skeletonized the entire base so only walls are printed Overhangs between grids removed Bottom lip removed (Doesn't effect functionality) Small sliver of the top removed (Doesn't effect functionality)   Nozzles and Print Settings 0.8 nozzles are recommended since you can print these with just 1 wall, as the base is 0.8 thick. But any nozzle works. Every other setting not listed below is fine on default. 0.8 Nozzle: - 14min of model print time for a 4x4! Walls: 1 Layer Height: 0.32mm recommended - for speed and quality, 14 min for 4x4 0.24mm for quality, 16 mins 0.56mm it works but the quality isn't the best at 13.5mins, I'd stick with 0.32 Wall Generator: Arachne 0.4 Nozzle: Walls: 3 Layer Height: 0.28mm recommended - Any lower doesn't make it print better, so just use 0.28 for the speed. Wall Generator: Arachne     Boost Me It took a while to make this parametric since I had to redo and optimize the entire base from scratch. But it was worth all the filament it'll save everyone :)   See my Lightest Gridfinity Covers Model as well
