Make edge padding modular / replaceable #48

Description

Really liking GridFlock so far!

One feature that I think would make it even more reusable would be making the edge padding a separate piece instead of part of the base plate.

The biggest use case is moving the grid to a different drawer. Even if the new drawer isn't exactly the same size, there's a good chance I could reuse most or all of the grid itself and just print new padding to fit. With the padding built in, I'd probably end up reprinting the whole thing.

It'd also help with cases where the measurement is just a little off. For example, the drawer I'm working on is 586 × 533 mm. If I end up being a few millimeters off, I'm looking at reprinting another large section that takes around an hour, when really I only need different padding. That might just be a me problem, but it seems like making the padding replaceable could save a lot of time and plastic.

Not sure if that fits with the design goals, but I figured I'd throw the idea out there.
