This is an additional / replacement base plate for the STEM kit below, from Amazon. Oddly, the kit comes with several sets of motors, axles, etc., but only two of the base plates needed to build something. So let's fix that!

If your printer supports "ironing", or some other smoothing function for top surfaces, I recommend using it.

If you open the SolidWorks file, you may notice the hole spacing is odd. The holes are actually 5mm apart (in a grid, ignoring the 5th hole in the middle of each square of four), but SolidWorks calculates it weird because it's spacing them along the 45-degree line.

This is the kit that I have:

It looks like these same plastic "bottom plates" are used in many other Chinese STEM kits on Amazon:
