Gridfinity drawer calculator

Enter your drawer's inside size and your printer bed. You get the grid that fits, the padding that locks it in place, and a tile plan, each tile a free STL.

9 x 7 grid cells (378 x 294 mm) in a 400 x 300 mm drawer, 0.5 mm clearance each side. Solid border: 21.0 mm total in X, 5.0 mm total in Y, split equally to the outer edges. 4 baseplate tiles (2 across x 2 deep), each within the 256 x 256 mm bed.

Questions

How do I measure my drawer?

Measure the flat inside floor, wall to wall, at the narrowest point (drawer slides and rounded corners often steal a few millimetres). Enter those numbers; the calculator keeps 0.5 mm of clearance on each side.

What happens to the leftover space?

Anything that is not a whole 42 mm cell becomes a solid border, split evenly between both sides, so the baseplate fills the drawer and cannot slide.

My drawer is bigger than my printer bed. Now what?

The calculator splits the grid into tiles that each fit your bed. Only the outside edges of the outer tiles get the border, so the tiles line up on the 42 mm grid.
