gridfinity-rebuilt-baseplate

To round out the rebuilt catalog, we have baseplates. Originally, baseplates were not included as there was not anything really interesting to parameterize, unlike with bins. However, upon closer inspection, there is a couple things that would make peoples' lives easier. For instance, what is called here the "skeletonized" style, in that the baseplate is still thick to allow for magnets, but the center portion is removed. Additionally, being able to generate spacers for the sides of the bases, so that they fit perfectly inside your drawers.

Bin

Script Parameters

Parameter Range Description
gridx { n>=0 | n∈R } number of bases along the x-axis
If set to zero, will fill with as many
bases that fit within distancex
gridy { n>=0 | n∈R } number of bases along the y-axis
If set to zero, will fill with as many
bases that fit within distancey
length { n>0 | n∈R } length of one unit of the base.
default: 42 (The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life,
the Universe, and Everything.)
distancex { n>0 | n∈R } minimum length of baseplate along x
alternatively, how large is the drawer along x
(leave zero to ignore)
distancey { n>0 | n∈R } minimum length of baseplate along y
alternatively, how large is the drawer along y
(leave zero to ignore)
fitx { -1<=n<=1 | n∈R } alignment factor for extra space along x axis
fity { -1<=n<=1 | n∈R } alignment factor for extra space along y axis
style_plate { 0, 1, 2 } the style of baseplate
• (0) thin (minimum material, only outline)
• (1) weighted (thick with space for tire iron)
• (2) skeletonized (thick, center hollowed)
enable_magnet boolean toggle hole for magnet on top
style_hole { 0, 1, 2 } the style of holes underneath the baseplate, if applicable
• (0) none
• (1) countersink
• (2) counterbore
