Summary:

  • Connect together segments with M2x8mm screws and press-fit nuts
  • 9.3 mm tall
  • Parametric source
  • Removed M3 hole under magnet
Hardware (Note none of these are affiliate links):
Installation Tips:
  • Connect together upsidedown!
  • I used pliers to sqash the nuts in.
  • I have the magnets holes slightly oversized, which requires glue. My printer isn't tuned perfectly, so I was hesitant to make them pressfit. Feel free to make the change in the model with the magnetDiameter var 

Motivation:

I wanted a baseplate with the following:

  • Interlocking, preferably with metal hardware.
  • Minimize  filament usage
  • No M3 screw hole under magnet to leak glue.
  • Follows https://gridfinity.xyz/specification/

  • 8 mm Tall! (85% my model)
  • Uses printed Dovetails for connection
  • The profile might be slightly out of spec.

  • Original baseplate
  • Weighted baseplate is great but uses too much filament
  • No interconnecting
