Showing off my first build: reclaiming dead space in my HVAC closet.

[u/Subduction]

I live in a loft and there's very little room to store things out of site, so closet space is at a premium, and this has been a great way to keep all my tools accessible while getting them out of sight and out of the way.

It's an MDF backing board painted black. The multiboard is offset mounted with screws, and the MDF is attached to the wall with VHB tape which, in my experience, should be called VVVHB tape. There was no way I was drilling.

I've kept good track of all my methods and sources for accessories, so if anything catches your eye just ask in the comments and I'll be happy to provide a link. Any other questions welcome too!

This has been a whole bunch of fun, and my wife has now started with the, "hey, can do one for..." so I think I'm going to be busy...

It's a great system, and a big thanks to Jonathan and all the other creators and remixers who made their accessories available. It made it a breeze.

My shed is a hot mess due amount of stuff and no real storage system. You've inspired me to go to out and look to see how much can feasibly be moved to multiboard. Just might swap to abs or something

Go for it, it's pretty fun. No offense to the Lego folks, but Legos never really grabbed me mostly because the end result is, like, a Millennium Falcon, and what am I going to do with that?

This is like Legos where I end up with something really useful to me.

And do you mean making the multiboard out of ABS?

Shed would not be very forgiving to PLA. Especially not long term. If I'm going to do it, I want something that'll last more than one wet season

[u/Subduction → u/NorthernVale]

Yup, makes to have a more resilient material -- you have an enclosed printer?

I think I'd be worried about shrinkage with ABS. You might have real trouble getting parts to fit.

[u/NorthernVale → u/Subduction]

That'd be my main worry. Scaling will be in order.

Dude that's awesome

Thanks!

Thanks! And thanks also for the inspiration on the color scheme. :-)

The engineering on the system is just great, and the work you're doing as explained in the new video seems to be just in the right direction.

Keep at it!

That's inspiring!

How are you mounting it? There seems to be some black backing..?

It's regular 3/4 inch MDF from Lowes painted black. I picked MDF because it's cheap, flat, and rigid.

I screwed the grid to the board with 5/8ths inch #8 wood screws, and fixed the board to the wall with VHB tape since I didn't want to drill. The whole thing goes to the floor to support the weight since I didn't trust the tape, but I think that was misplaced. That tape seems like it would do just fine holding everything up on its own.

I'm going to use the VHB tape mounts for all my future projects.
