This OpenSCAD script generates a grid of interconnected small cuboids, which are attached to a large flat base cuboid. The user can customize the number of rows and columns, as well as specify the dimensions of smaller cuboids and their separation. Alternating heights in the smaller cuboids add a pattern akin to a mountain bike tire or 3D checkerboard. Optional keyed connectors allow for easy assembly of multiple printed pieces. However, be cautious when printing without support material as excessive use may cause issues. As the version number increases, the print design becomes more user-friendly and optimized. Future updates aim to split large grid into smaller pieces for specific 3D printer beds or separate prints for click-together assembly. The code needs refining too. In version 0.6, support for symmetric keyed joints at edges was added, and the check for print envelope fit was improved. Version 0.5 allows user-defined heights for small cuboids, while version 0.4 checks if the item fits within the printer's envelope, warning the user if it does not. Hollowing out shapes in version 0.3 reduces printing time and cost. The script started with basic grid generation in version 0.1.
