Gridfinity Build Plate Surface Test Tray
Functional Gridfinity trays designed to act as permanent reference samples for different build plate bottom surfaces. Instead of printing disposable swatches, each test becomes a useful gridfinity parts tray while preserving the plate texture for quick visual comparison.
Â
The trays are based on the Gridfinity Extended bin geometry and printed without magnets so the bottom surface remains completely uniform for accurate plate texture comparisons.
