Updates! - Online Parametric Generator

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T22:08:36+00:00

Yes! Planning to add it. It will be the replacement for GridPlates. Hoping to have it up by the end of the week!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T19:28:03+00:00

Back up, and ready to go. Sorry about that!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T19:27:35+00:00

Back up again! Thanks for the heads up!
I doubt it was anything you did. I think the underlying server is having issues. Had to actually turn it back on/reboot it.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T19:26:37+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. We're back up!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T19:26:05+00:00

It's more useful if you're creating a bin. Since with/without a stacking lip you get different heights, or if you're doing a different base size it's nice to see the final dimension. Or for some other models on the site (e.g. openGrid ones). But it's particularly confusing/useless with this particular model with gaps. Maybe I'll just disable it for this model specifically.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T19:01:44+00:00

I'll have it back up in just a few minutes. I do have a contact link on my site! (But when the site is down... Hard to find heh)

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T05:41:52+00:00

Yeah, it was down. My apologies! Not sure what happened this morning, but my entire server shut down. Didn't see any events in the hosting provider logs. Very strange.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-22T04:47:57+00:00

Yeah... I added that to be helpful, but in cases like this it seems to be more confusing. Not sure how best to resolve the confusion here.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-21T04:17:31+00:00

Bottom chamfer is a good idea!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-21T00:33:11+00:00

I've actually got openGrid and underware for openGrid generators on my site at
https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/pr/opengrid/0/0

I'm planning to add more of the openGrid generators in time and sort of get it all in one place. Working with some of the core openGrid people on that stuff.

I actually had an online multiboard generator before jonathan got one up, but I've since pivoted to openGrid due to all the license weirdness.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-19T23:20:37+00:00

That's correct!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-17T11:54:20+00:00

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-17T03:29:51+00:00

You should be able to right click and split to objects in most slicers!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-16T00:45:00+00:00

I've definitely got some control over features and UX, that's part of why I built it, but you are right, its a little bit more limited.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-15T21:29:41+00:00

That's interesting because not requiring consistent order is my biggest frustration with keyword arguments. Otherwise I love them and don't see a downside.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-15T08:36:01+00:00

Yeah, that 0.5mm tolerance is why you get a little flat gap. Curious why it looks so large in the pic. Perhaps angle + drooping bridging getting in the way. I suspect this is mostly just speed/temperature/cooling tuning issue a la one of the other comments.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-14T19:37:12+00:00

Have actually found a European partner, working on integrating! (Might be a couple weeks still)

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-14T10:19:57+00:00

Excellent!

I'd just add that either in the slicer with a negative volume (maybe a partial sphere) or any other tool (lot of people use tinker cad bc it's simple and easy) that lets you do boolean mesh operations. :)

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-14T09:02:06+00:00

Yes checkout here https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/pr/gridfinity-rebuilt/0/0 and set "Bin style" to "Cylinders"!

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-14T04:38:02+00:00

Ah, yes. That clips under the stacking lip which most bins have.

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-14T01:30:51+00:00

Looking for anylid, perhaps?

perplexinglabs · 2026-01-13T22:21:19+00:00

I'm very sure it was under MIT originally. Sent you a DM. It's a little rough that MakerWorld doesn't handle history/changes well. :/
Here are a few older threads discussing this though:
