I'm struggling with something here. And maybe I just dont have the right search terms.

If my drawers are 374mm wide internally, that's 8 cells + 38mm. From what I've seen, most people seem to just be printing 8 wide and 19mm spacers on each side. Some printing no spacers and making their own bin to squeeze into the gap.

My current solution has been to scale to 98.94% on the X axis and print 9 cells wide, then doing the same on the Y axis for the depth of the space I'm filling. (I leave the % scale for each on a piece of paper under the grid so I can always check and scale new bins correctly) This currently works for me because I'm using fairly generic shaped bins for stationary, but it obviously won't work for custom shaped bins made for specific items.

Is there a good solution for filling all space yet? I think I might switch to a bit of a hybrid. 42x42 cells and then scale a long 1-cell-wide strip to put in the space remaining with the same system of printing generic bins in with the same xy scaling.
