Gridfinity Baseplate (by S Groesz)
Now an exercise for generating gridfinity baseplates. I started by modelling a single 1x1 unit baseplate, then create a new sketch, importing the base model and using the translate tools to create the grid I want. I then modify the resulting grid to add screw holes where 4 base units are joined together.

What I have seems to work, though we'll see when the physical model is created. There are a lot of complaints from SolveSpace and the 3D slicer (Orca), but somehow and surprisingly, I was able to generate what "looks" like a solid gcode file for the printer. The complaints are centered around holes in the model.

I'm sharing mostly as an exercise. It would be informative for me if there is a better way to accomplish what I want using SolveSpace.

Here's a link to a online model that I am trying to achieve, for the most part. https://www.extrabold.tools/s/KsZMyq The only thing lacking from this web model is I need to trim the sides of the final model by .25mm all around for my purposes.

I have attached my work.
