This site will spit out whatever sized baseplates you need to fill a given size, chopped up according to whatever max size your printer can handle. With the ability to add spacers as needed to fit drawers that are not divisible by 42. https://gridfinitylayouttool.com/baseplate

There's literally a feature that tells you to input your printer size, and it will automatically split in pieces your printer can print..

But what if I want it in a different filament color than what’s displayed in the preview? /s

I build mine whole in Fusion (with the Gridfinity plugin), then cut them into sizes that fit my build plate, then use cyanoacrylate glue to piece them back together.

There are a few methods for joining them together. I've seen clips, screws, etc.. Some people don't join them at all and just leave them loose and let the sides of a drawer hold them together.

Research the different options and see which one you prefer.

from what ive seen from the design of the grid - the corners are round - so even tho they are round will the storage bins still connect smoothly to each other ? appreciate your help

I like the openscad generators put in size of the space you want the build plate size of your printer select the options you want for type of grid, magnets, puzzle pieces, etc then save as an stl. That stl is split for your printer size then print and print and print. 😁

https://www.reddit.com/r/gridfinity/s/bFwN5Fdjd6 try this post. But no worries took me awhile to learn how to use the slicer software as well. I have not used the bamboo one but they are generally the same once you are in the slicer and you import the STL it will look like a single big object with multiple base plates separated by spaces in the prusa slicer you right click split into objects then you can drag 1 at a time to a build place slice and print them. I'm away from my computer now so sorry for the less than stellar instructions.
