I’m trying to build a parametric Gridfinity baseplate/bin generator in Shapr3D. I followed a Fusion 360 tutorial, but I keep getting errors when I try to pattern the cutouts. I’m new to Shapr3D, so I’d really appreciate advice, If you’ve made a similar file or have a beginner-friendly workflow, I’d love to see it.

Do a ‘gridfinity’ search on this forum. There are a variety of threads on this topic. Here’s one.

> Hi! I’ve been trying to create a custom profile cutout like a chamfer around the edges of an object (the gridfinity stackable profile), but I cannot make it work. I’ve tried extrusion, but it only works on the flat sides. Sweep doesn’t work either, the rounded corners make it fail. Revolve doesn’t work because it’s not around an axis. I just need to extract the profile from the object around all edges, including curves, any workaround for this needs? Thanks!!!
