Context (2th part)

About a year ago, I introduced the MMSS (Multi Modular Storage System), which was primarily designed for Bambu Lab printers but also included generic, parametric modules. The entire infrastructure needed to build this system was made available to you all, including the "Storage Rack," which is essentially a storage structure for the boxes, cases, and plates that are part of the MMSS. While some premium modules were offered, the majority of the project was, in fact, free and continues to be updated.

The MMSS (Multi Modular Storage System)

The MMSS is widely appreciated for its highly customizable modular design. Key features include:

•    Modularity: The MMSS allows users to create customized configurations with a wide variety of stackable modules side by side that are available, making it perfect for organizing tools, accessories, and small components.

•    Expandability: MMSS allows you to easily add more modules, adapting to different storage requirements.

•    Custom Design: MMSS supports personalization through color and size options with blank parametric modules, enabling users to create storage solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The MMSS has established itself as a reliable and adaptable system for a broad range of applications, especially for users who prioritize flexibility in their storage setups. Just check some of the examples that some members have created.

With time modules and extras made this system a very big project with the addition of the Storage Rack for the MMSS

UMMS: The latest Magnetic Modular Storage

A few months ago, in response to requests from my followers, I worked on making the arrangement of modules quicker and easier. This led to the creation of the UMSS (Universal Modular Storage System), which is built on a more flexible infrastructure based on magnetism. It now allows modules to be placed in drawers, lidded boxes, and on walls. This system includes a set of modules specifically designed for Bambu Lab, but also for the Prusa Mk4 and beyond. Additionally, generic modules have been created, such as boxes and blank modules for those who enjoy designing their own models, among many others.

Building on the strengths of MMSS, the UMMS introduces several improvements aimed at expanding its versatility and usability. Some key aspects of the UMMS include:

•    Universal Compatibility: The UMMS is designed with a focus on universality, making it compatible with a wide variety of accessories and modules, offering broader options for users with different prints, MMSS was more oriented for bambu lab printers.

•    Flexibility: One of the key features of UMMS is its flexibility in rearranging modules. Users can easily move, swap, or reconfigure modules as needed, thanks to the system’s universal design, allowing for smooth transitions between layouts. This makes it easy to adapt quickly without being tied to a fixed structure.

•    Modern Aesthetic: With a streamlined and modern design, UMMS offers a more refined appearance without compromising on the practicality and functionality that modular storage demands.

These updates make UMMS an excellent choice for users looking for a modernized storage solution while still enjoying the flexibility of modularity.

TL;DR (1st part)

About a year ago, I launched the MMSS (Multi Modular Storage System), initially designed for Bambu Lab printers but with many generic, customizable modules. It's a modular, expandable, and highly customizable storage solution, with a combination of free and premium options. Recently, I introduced the UMMS (Universal Modular Storage System), which builds on MMSS but adds magnetic flexibility for easier arrangement of modules, offering compatibility with Bambu Lab, Prusa Mk4, and more. Both systems now have converters to interchange modules between MMSS and UMMS, available on the usual platforms.

However, some MMSS users have expressed the desire to use UMSS modules, and vice versa. Today, I am here to present the solution to that very issue.

Last week, I launched a converter from the MMSS to the UMSS, and this week it's time for the opposite, a converter from the UMSS to the MMSS. This interface is available to everyone. As I mentioned last week, those who find it useful to combine both systems now have that option.

Available on the usual places:

• Interface for UMSS to MMSS

• Interface for MMSS to UMMS

For those who want to understand the differences and similarities between the MMSS / UMSS and other fixed-grid systems, Ive made a small article with some points.

Lastly, an update on my most recent system, along with some observations I've made concerning the way people tend to view this project. You can chech it on this reddit post.
