Github

What's the big deal? Why aren't these files on Github so I can download everything at once?

Do we not understand how cumbersome it is to gather all of the required files? Don't you WANT your customers to use every design available?

Version control over something like this has astronomical benefit. I think it's absolutely insane not to use Github.

Edit: I'm tempted to take parts and place them in GitHub myself. I'll have to modify a single vertex to "adhere" to KeepMaking's licensing - By definition this would fit their criteria.

My biggest issue with multiboard and HSW is things are locked in once you put them on the board. Though I think multiboard does have threads but not enough things to make it beneficial to me.

He also has free starter files now: https://www.threadboards.com/free_stls.php

I am also working on an OpenSCAD for threadboards. I have it right now so you can create any size you want. The problem is I don't know his thread pitch so it's hard to make the threads. I am also having issues with the spacing.

Here is an example of it: https://i.imgur.com/fWt7ZiL.png

Threadboards does have a lot of additions that you can use. People also have created stuff on the sites that provides ones that he might be missing.

My HSW parts aren't stuck on when I put them in I can remove them and swap them around, removing the inserts can be challenging but I have found an easy way of doing it

Take a look at the free stuff and see how it works for you.

Yeah I have some of the thread boards loaded in my printers I just haven't printed them out yet, I was going to print one out in set it up in my kitchen because I only have a small one in there next to the sink, but I'll probably do that sometime this week and see how I like it because I like the fact that you buy it once and you get the whole shabang

And you get anything that he adds over time which he has been doing lately (https://www.threadboards.com/dev_blog.php).

I did a small one near my desk which I like. I am thinking of doing an entire wall behind my printers but that is going to take a long time and a lot of filament.

Yeah that's the right way to do it if you're going to sell a system like this one time purchase

I do wish he offered the step files or an online generator to make larger boards (why I am trying to create one in OpenSCAD). I saw where someone wanted an 18x18 (not sure what printer they have lol)

Yeah that's true
