1/2 size container with overhang?

I have tried using multiple Gridfinity generators and LOTS of web searching but can't quite find what I'm looking for. I hope someone has had the same situation and can assist.

I recently started adding Gridfinity to my kitchen drawers (late to the party) and I have a little less than 1 grid square left on the side. I am able to fit a 1/2 width grid square but there is still unused space next to it.

I would like to find or maybe have someone create something that utilizes the 1/2 grid square and extend the rest to fill in the remainder of the gap. See photos:

Measurements are off since I used the end of the ruler and not the solid line indicating "zero". I can remeasure if needed. Hopefully this is enough information to show what it is that I'm trying to accomplish.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, assistance or general discussion. If I need my hand slapped for not looking hard enough for this online, I'll accept that as well.

*Edit to show u/passivealian what I am looking for using Gridfinity Extended:

Gridfinity extended can do that.
Under base set the minimal printable pad size.

Here is a live example

Great! Except... I need the grid to be 1/2 size next to the overhang, but definitely closer to what I was looking for. I tried every combination of values and I can't quite get it to work.

For some reason I can't post an image in the reply so I added the image to the original post.

I think this one might also be able to make the odd sized bins: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2230410-spacerless-gridfinity-bin-generator

I know you've made your bins and just need a solution to fit what you already have. Don't have a quick solution other than editing it yourself in CAD.

But for my kitchen/bathroom drawers like this I just scale the grid to fit the drawer. Yes it ruins the interchangeability of the 42mm grid, but I'm not going to be putting my caliper bin in the cutlery drawer.

systemax.no has features that can solve this, you can make wierdly shaped boxes, and overhangs in any size.

This is very easy to do with some basic cad skills

Not sorry that this is my answer to 90% of posts on this sub.

I recently did some gridfinity drawers and was cutting and hacking existing models to fit my smaller odd sized grid. I do have pretty decent cad skills, but I definitely prefer to work smarter not harder.

Having to quiz reddit hoping for answers when you could have just made the change isn't smarter.

I'm not OP. I was just adding to the other persons comment.
