// Gridfinity Baseplate With Magnets // Gridfinity is a system to help you work more efficiently. This is a system invented by Zack Freedman. There are two main components the baseplate and the bins. The components are comprised of a matrix of squares. Allowing easy stacking and expansion. This baseplate version includes holes for magnet placement // Set units in millimeters (mm) @settings(defaultLengthUnit = mm, kclVersion = 1.0) // Define parameters binLength = 42.0 cornerRadius = 4.0 firstStep = 0.7 secondStep = 1.8 thirdStep = 2.15 magOuterDiam = 6.5 magOffset = 4.8 magDepth = 2.4 // Number of bins in each direction countBinWidth = 2 countBinLength = 3 // The total height of the baseplate is a summation of the vertical heights of the baseplate steps height = firstStep + secondStep + thirdStep // Define a function which builds the profile of the baseplate bin fn face(@plane) { faceSketch = startSketchOn(plane) |> startProfile(at = [0, 0]) |> yLine(length = height) |> angledLine(angle = -45, lengthY = thirdStep) |> yLine(length = -secondStep) |> angledLine(angle = -45, lengthY = firstStep) |> close() return faceSketch } // Extrude a single side of the bin singleSide = extrude(face(offsetPlane(YZ, offset = cornerRadius)), length = binLength -
