Result
How it works
- Enter your printer's bed dimensions.
- Enter your part's footprint and how many you need.
- See how many fit per plate with safe spacing.
The method
Parts are arranged in a simple grid pattern, with each cell sized to the part footprint plus your chosen spacing, and a small margin reserved around the bed's edge.
FAQ
Does this account for spacing between parts?
Yes — you can set a minimum gap between parts, which the layout keeps to so nothing collides or fuses during printing.
What if my parts don't all fit?
The tool tells you how many parts fit per plate, so you can plan multiple print jobs instead of overcrowding the bed.
Does it account for build plate margins?
Yes — a small edge margin is factored in automatically, since most printers can't reliably print right up to the bed's physical edge.
