Introducing what I believe to be the perfect Gridfinity baseplates with a good balance between functionality while lowering material use.
I wanted baseplates that could be used standalone or fit together to create one bigger baseplate e.g. for covering a bottom of a large drawer without using any additional hardware while making sure they stay aligned.
These baseplates have holes around the edge to friction fit multiple baseplates together using a “pin” made from “raw” filament. The filament should be a tight enough fit to hold multiple baseplates together although if you are finding the holes a little too small the best thing to do is chuck a short piece of filament in a drill and use the filament as a drill bit to ever so slightly enlarge the holes to a perfect fit.
If you want more of a permanent fit you can either flatten the ends of the pin with a pair of pliers or you can melt the ends with a lighter and use the hot metal on the lighter to flatten the ends.
This is the lite version without the magnet mounts although these are compatible and the same outer dimensions with my magnet version that can be found HERE.
All sizes from 1x1 to 10x10 have been included.
