Compared to the lightweight branch in this project, this skeletonized implementation cuts down on filament by around 50% while still ensuring strength at the interconnection points:

Not compatible with magnets or click latch, but a great option for "standard" plates (and my current go to default).

This also adds a solid filler option for edge sections that are smaller than a standard grid unit.

I don't understand the point of the solid filler feature, can't you just turn off filler cells?

You can get the "Solid filler" result by disabling filler cells: https://gridflock.yawk.at/#eyJpbnRlcnNlY3Rpb25fcHV6emxlX2ZpdCI6MC44LCJmaWxsZXJfeCI6MCwiZmlsbGVyX3kiOjB9

Ah, that was not obvious to me. I think I assumed it would just shrink the grid with that off. Removing my duplicate code and updating this PR for just the lightweight grid.
