Gridfinity Base Plate with "inverted" magnets

This base plate is a 1:1 re-built of the original Gridfinity “slim” plate from Zack Freedman

I find the magnets practical because everything stays in its place. But most of all, I love the "snap in" feature of the magnets. :-D There are some baseplates that use less filament than the original, but with these you have to glue the magnets in so that they don't get pulled out at some point. Since you can only get the magnets out later with a lot of effort, I thought of something else. In my version of the "Baseplate Light", the magnets (6x2mm) are inserted into the plate from below. Since they remain fixed without (or only with light) glue, they can be removed/reused later with a small screwdriver or something similar.

• The top cover thickness above the magnet is 0.6mm, which ensures that the magnet's force remains sufficient. 
• The clearance is 0.125, which keeps the magnets in place and prevents them from falling out on their own. 
  • If that is too tight, set a minimum XY compensation in the slicer.
  • If they fall out, a small drop of glue helps to fix them. No superglue, a light glue is enough (Elmer's PVA glue is great for this, fixes the magnets and allows them to be removed again without any effort).
• I added a small chamfer at the bottom edge so that several panels fit together well even when slightly over-extruded.

The plates have a size from 1x1 to 8x8, if there is a need for larger plates just ask. I printed them in PLA and PETG with the default settings of the PrusaSlicer.
