What is openGrid Tile Generator?
openGrid Tile Generator is a free MakerWorld customizer that builds openGrid wall and desk tiles in exactly the size you need, without touching OpenSCAD. It is made by BlackjackDuck for openGrid, the open-source mounting system from David D, the creator of Multiconnect, which is built on a 28 mm grid and designed to work alongside Gridfinity.
Click Customize on the model page, choose the tile style and grid count, and MakerWorld's Parametric Model Maker builds the part in the browser. Options include full and lite tiles, stacked tiles for printing several in one go, per-corner chamfers, connector holes on chosen sides, custom screw hole positions and a space-fill mode that fits tiles to an exact measurement. The result downloads as STL or 3MF.
It is free, but you need a MakerWorld account to generate and download. The underlying code is public on GitHub under the non-commercial CC BY-NC-SA license, and the author states that tiles made with it are licensed CC BY. With more than 80,000 customizations it is one of the most used storage generators on the platform and a natural starting point for an openGrid wall.
