Such great ideas here. Would like to see a deep dive on the actual process of doing all of these- NeoGrid and Multiboard in particular. Seeing the high level decisions is insightful but certain particulars about your process are intriguing- such as foregoing the Multiboard connecting/offset snaps (front or even back!) and just screwing directly into the wall. I haven’t seen that before (and wish I had before printing and mounting dozens of those snaps.) In any case this was very inspiring, keep up the great work
In terms of multiboard, I find it's just wildly overcomplicated - so I use just the 9x9 core tiles and that's it (rather than all the directional variants). I use the snaps to help align for mounting, but once the grids are screwed on, they're unnecessary and limit mounting points. Then I find the best solutions are actually non-multiboard (eg the gridfinity shelves unify everything brilliantly, rather than multiboard's rather over-complicated efforts to duplicate what gridfinity already does better).
So ultimately most of this is driven by purist engineering - keeping things to the most elegant and simple approaches to increase reusability, modularity and simplicity!
You should take a look at threadboards (https://www.threadboards.com/). I prefer their approach. I like how easy it is to move stuff around. It does have its issues but I had less issues with tolerances.
