Description

Gridfinity Extended aims to be the most comprehensive OpenSCAD implementation of Gridfinity.

 

It is opensource and maintained by myself on GitHub here ostat/gridfinity_openscad.

 

This scrips are actively maintained, and have regular improvements. 

If you have issues or suggestion submit them on the GitHub page.
