Description

This is a hacked together fork of Le0Michine's Fusion Gridfinity Generator. In this fork, the designs default to pressure fitting magnets, instead of having larger holes usually used for gluing magnets in. Additionally, an extra channel is cut out next to magnet holes to make it easy to wedge a screwdriver in to reclaim your magnets if you ever want to throw away your bin.
