A different variation of the gridfinity base. This “thin walled” variation minimizes material use, but maximizes stiffness.
I found the standard gridfinity base used too much material, and the ultralight was too flexible.
The thin walled version is best of both worlds. ~50% reduction in material, but nearly 90% as stiff. 0.8mm wall thickness, designed for two perimeters with a 0.4mm nozzle.
| Material (g) | print time (min) | Stiffness remaining (%) | |
| Standard gridfinity 5x5 | 32 | 89 | - |
| Ultralight gridfinity 5x5 | 14 | 61 | 15 |
| Thin walled gridfinity 5x5 | 19 | 74 | 90 |
Also including the parametric Blend file used to create the grid. Use the “Master_controller” object and change the custom properties “Grid_X_QTY” and “Grid_Y_QTY” for whatever size desired. Fractional grid sizes are also possible. Uses NURBS for analytically accurate surfaces.
