Gridfinity Magnet Light Baseplate

Model Overview & Print Notes

Zack Freedman’s original Gridfinity Base Plates https://thangs.com/designer/ZackFreedman/3d-model/Gridfinity%2520Baseplates-60925 I’m a big fan of Gridfinity and magnets but the crazy filament cost to print the weighted baseplates to utilize magnets was too high. So I remixed the weighted baseplate to remove all features I don’t really care about leaving a lean magnetic baseplate. Roughly 60% reduction in filament cost from the original weighted baseplate.  Uses 6x2mm magnets   Excerpt from Zack’s post for printing instructions as that doesn’t change from his to mine. ——— A Prusa i3 Mk3 can print up to a 5x5 grid. No matter what you use, make sure your bed adhesion and release is dialed in - these love to curl, and their high surface area can make them challenging to remove. Gridfinity Tips! No brims or support required! Use any filament with an 0.6mm or smaller nozzle. Wider plates can curl, so maximize your bed adhesion if you're going big! All storage blocks are compatible with all baseplates! Most storage blocks are stackable! You can add 6x2mm magnets to the corners! They won't magnetize the contents. You can also use M3 screws in the corners. ——— PSA: Some models may sink into the build plate when loaded into your slicer. Make sure to zero out the z placement height if features are missing. [FIXED in Update2] Update: Added nx8 files Update2: Added 2 new versions, one without holes in the magnet holes and another that the magnets press fit into. I also fixed the issue where the model would sink into the build plate when loaded into certain slicers. Update3: @ThaWaz_1898880 requested some nx10 and nx9 baseplates. I only added the Press_Fit_Magnet ones, but can add other on request.
