Instructions
1: Load the file in Fusion 360 and double click here in the timeline to edit the pattern that defines your shape.
2: Check all the slots you want to include in your shape. Your shape must include the slot at the origin point must have one continuous outer edge, holes unfortunately do not work. I recommend doing this in the top view for better visibility.
3: Click ok and…
4: When you're done admiring your hideous, broken shape double click on the yellow symbol on the timeline and let's fix it.
5: Fusion gets confused when you change paths like we just did, so click here to tell it to forget the old path.
6: Then click on your shiny new path instead.
7: Click ok and…!
Perfect! Now you can use every grid slot to it's fullest potential!
Note: Fusion 360 *really* doesn't like it when you use the pattern tool's suppression option as part of a parametric design so I had to use a lot of janky workarounds to persuade it to behave and keep the template simple to use. It's extremely likely that it will break if you don't follow the instructions (and still pretty likely to break even if you do, let's be honest.)
Some of the basic parameters can be changed with varying degrees of success. Changing the bin height and the wall thiccness should be no issue and you can increase the grid size if you want to show off your unnecessarily large printer, but I can't guarantee that every permutation will work. Feel free to experiment but YMMV.
