About
A parametric OpenSCAD generator for magnet-free Gridfinity baseplates — the “Clickfinity” style that holds standard 42 mm bins with flexible cantilever latch arms instead of magnets. No magnets to buy, press, and glue; the bin clicks in and stays put.
It exists because of a gap: the popular OpenSCAD baseplate generators only do magnet or screw baseplates, and the Clickfinity concept itself lives out there only as proprietary CAD source plus a handful of fixed-size STLs. This is a clean-room reimplementation from the published Gridfinity dimensional spec and real measurement — no geometry lifted from anyone’s files.
It clicks, and it tiles. The latch was the make-or-break — arm stiffness can’t be settled in CAD, it needs printed test tiles and a real bin in hand — and it’s tuned. Grip is moderate and adjustable.
Plates also join edge-to-edge now. Every edge carries the same half-pocket on its underside, so butting two plates lines the halves up into one bowtie cavity and a key drops in from below. The joint is symmetric — no male and female side, so any edge mates with any edge in any direction, and a plate you print six months from now still attaches to what’s already on the bench. Nothing to glue; the bench traps the keys.
Any size is two knobs and a flag:
GRID_X = 6; GRID_Y = 3; JOIN = true;
Ready-to-print STLs ship with every release if you’d rather not install OpenSCAD. Print in PETG rather than PLA — the tongues sit under spring tension and PLA creeps. MIT licensed.
