About openGrid Tile Generator
openGrid is an open-source wall and desk mounting system from David D, the creator of Multiconnect, built on a 28 mm grid and designed to work alongside Gridfinity. This customizer by BlackjackDuck is the easiest way to get openGrid tiles in exactly the size you need without touching OpenSCAD.
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 open on GitHub. 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.
