- Measurements
Make a Gridfinity baseplate for a 729 × 183 mm space, with connector clips.
- Your printer
I use a Bambu Lab P2S. Make a 6 × 4 Gridfinity grid and split it if it won’t fit.
- Drawer presets
Make a Gridfinity baseplate for my IKEA ALEX drawer, with magnets. Help me choose the right drawer preset.
What this AI Gridfinity generator can do
This Gridfinity MCP server gives your AI assistant 7 focused tools for 3D printing. It can turn a rough request, drawer name or exact measurements into a precise, shareable Gridfinity baseplate configuration.
Use your measurements
generate_gridfinity_baseplateConfigure a baseplate from measured width and depth, with grid coverage, remaining margins and printer-fit guidance.
Look up your printer
find_gridfinity_printersFind a printer by model or brand and use its catalog build volume to configure printable pieces.
Find drawer presets
find_gridfinity_drawer_presetsSearch known drawers, Euroboxes and KLT containers by product name, brand, dimensions or article number.
Fit a drawer and printer
generate_gridfinity_drawer_baseplateCreate a drawer-sized baseplate and automatically split it when it is larger than the supplied printer build volume.
Ask relevant questions
get_gridfinity_grid_questionsWalk through grid size, baseplate style, magnets, screws, splitting and connector fit while skipping questions that do not apply.
Generate a grid
generate_gridfinity_gridTurn a requested number of columns and rows into exact millimeter dimensions and a shareable generator link.
Build an exact link
create_gridfinity_baseplate_urlCompose a ready-to-open baseplate link when the dimensions and precise generator settings are already known.
From an AI prompt to a printable Gridfinity model
Describe the baseplate
Ask in plain language, including grid size, drawer measurements, magnets, screws or printer size.
The assistant configures it
The MCP tools resolve compatible settings, calculate dimensions and decide whether splitting is needed.
Open, inspect and download
Follow the generated Extrabold Tools link to preview the model, make final adjustments and export it.
What you get back
Your AI assistant receives calculated dimensions, structured configuration data and a ready-to-open Extrabold Tools URL. The final Gridfinity 3D preview and file export happen in the browser, where you can review every setting before downloading.
Common questions
What is the Extrabold Tools AI Gridfinity generator?
It is a free, public Model Context Protocol server that lets compatible AI assistants configure custom Gridfinity baseplates and return ready-to-open Extrabold Tools links.
How does AI Gridfinity generation work?
You describe the Gridfinity baseplate you need in natural language. Your AI assistant uses the MCP tools to ask relevant questions, calculate dimensions, choose compatible settings and create a link where you can preview and export the 3D model.
Does the MCP server cost anything or require an API key?
No. The remote endpoint is free to use and does not require an Extrabold Tools account, API token or local server installation.
Does it generate an STL file inside the chat?
No. The server calculates the configuration and returns a shareable Extrabold Tools link. Open that link to inspect the 3D preview, adjust settings and download the model.
Can it make a baseplate fit my specific printer?
Yes. Supply the printer build width, depth and height. For drawer presets, the server automatically enables splitting when the baseplate is too large for the available build plate.
Can I use experimental dovetails and tolerance?
Yes. Ask for dovetail connectors to join split pieces without separate clips. Dovetails and printer tolerance are experimental in generator 5.3. Zero tolerance gives the largest male tab; higher values make it smaller, up to 0.5 mm. The AI can provide the tolerance test package with six male samples and a fixed female reference. It also includes a separate bin-fit check; normal bin pockets stay the same size across tolerance settings.
Which AI clients can connect to it?
Any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers can connect. This page includes setup instructions for Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Cline and LM Studio.
Does the server keep an MCP session or project account?
No. The MCP endpoint is stateless and handles each request independently. It does not require a user account or maintain an MCP session between requests.
