These are designed to tile within the IKEA Alex system of drawers and print on a PrusaXL. The narrow drawers will fit 7x12 gridfinity units, split across two 7x6 tiles. The wide drawers will fit 14x10 gridfinity units, split across two 7x7 tiles and two 7x3 tiles.
The tiles have grooves in them to aid in alignment and gluing.
For a small Alex drawer, print two of 7x6 units, and align and glue them together with cyanoacrylate (superglue). The tiles have a tongue and groove along the edges to assist with gluing and alignment. You can also print an optional backstop to take up the front-to-back slop.
To assemble, run a bead of glue along the entire groove of one edge, and then align the tongue side. Be extra careful when you align them, you will only get one chance! I recommend doing so on wax paper, and having a board or ruler to align the non glued edges against before pressing them together.
The grids can then be placed into the drawer and held in place with a little bit of tape or glue to prevent sliding.
