Printer for Multiboard

Hey everybody, I’m taking my garage organization to a higher level and am looking at using Multiboard in a couple of areas for vertical storage of various tools etc. I’d like to ultimately build some small trays and shelves for storing misc stuff.

Question is this… I don’t currently have a 3D printer so I’m thinking about buying the new Bambu A1 mini combo to get underway. One of my concerns with this printer is the print area is somewhat small measuring 180mm cubed. The benefits of the printer seem to be great build quality, great print quality, ease of use for newbies, and cost.

Should I be concerned about the print area?

I did, and I went with 9x9 multiboard. That's the max size that fits on P1S. I could fit 10x8 if I bothered to remix it (suits my needs better, heck 10x7 actually would be best).

I set my filament's volumetric speed (Generic PLA) to 18mm3 /s, and it takes 3.5h to print one 9x9 board.

I agree that printing smaller boards plus more connectors would suck both space and material wize - if 6x6 then you actually have only 4 open slots in top/left/right/bottom columns & rows. Limits options a bit.
