This can be used to see how to model better, square bridges to avoid drooping rings. It can also be used with tinkercad.

At regular intervals (no less than desired layer height), you add a square rotated 45 degrees touching the edges. This causes slicers to draw straight lines across the holes, avoiding problems like the infamous “drooping rings” present in the original Gridfinity models
- To use this to convert a model in Tinkercad, first import the model to convert.
- Fill the old holes using cylinder objects, it can help to turn the model “translucent” with the color selector.
- Then bring this in, center it on a gridfinity socket. Turn it into a “hole” object. Make sure the magnets and object are both at horizontal plate 0, or the hole may be too shallow or be recessed inside the object.
- (Glue in 1x1 file) Press Ctrl+D to get extra copies for each row or column of the item, after the 2nd is positioned, further Ctrl+D should auto position.
- (Glue in 1x1 file) Then select the whole row or column, and duplicate that set, position, and again repeat with auto position.
- Once you have all the new holes, combine the whole thing and export.
If you want to see an example of a bin using this in the slicer, any of my models labeled Magnet+ can be downloaded and sliced in a slicer.
1x1 is 6.5mm “glue in” holes, per original GF spec.
8x8 is 6mm “friction fit” holes, similar to the “Screw Together” baseplate variant.
