Original Gridfinity accessories and baseplates by Zack Freedman: https://thangs.com/designer/ZackFreedman

 

NOTE: If you're going to add weights to the model, please make sure the dimensions of your weights fit in the slot. This model has a modified slot size (and shape) compared to Zack's original baseplates. The model fits two of these 5g weights side by side per slot (19.0mm x 11.6mm x 4.0mm).

 

The original weighted Gridfinity baseplates has slots for 1/4 Oz weights, however in the EU it's easier to find slightly smaller 5 gram weights. The original baseplate almost has room for two of these weights per slot, so I widened the slot slightly so that each fits 2x5g weights. Now we can make our baseplates even heavier 😎

 

Attached is the modified parametric f3d file, which you can use to create a baseplate of suitable size. Also attached are:

  • 5x5 .stl, the largest you can print on a Prusa Mk3
  • 4x4 .stl, the largest you can print on a Prusa Mini
  • A smaller 3x2 .stl

 

I actually never ended up printing this, but rather made a stackable variant here: Stackable weighted Gridfinity baseplates (larger weights) by FruitieX | Download free STL model | Printables.com

You can see the fit of the 5g weights in the stackable variant photos.
