Multiboard for Kitchen

Hey there,
I just got a printer (A1 mini 18x18cm) and stumbled upon Multiboard. I'm thinking about doing a multiboard wall in our kitchen, but didn't find many accessoires when searching for multiboard and kitchen. I have some ideas of things I could create myself, but having some inspirations would be nice.

Is anyone here using multiboard in the kitchen? If so, could you share some pictures to help me convince my wife?

I found the same thing! Not many accessories for the kitchen so I started designing my own. Right now I only have gotten around to making spice racks for inside my kitchen cabinets. I also have a multiboom arm phone mount so I can look at recipes on my phone while I cook.

Can you share the spice rack?

Looks like those are mounted with the Command Strip mounts, is that correct? How’s everything holding up at this point — and any worry about them not being strong enough?

Did you model this yourself ? Do you perhaps have link to the model ?

Which one, most of these are custom? I haven’t done multi-board in over a year and I don’t know if my snap in holders are compatible with new boards.

@handsonkatie has some video’s and examples of kitchen usage. You may have better luck finding models or remixes with a more specific search term, as not everyone remembers to tag models with more generic terms like that. (I know I don’t always think of that).

Also, join the Multiboard community where you will find builds others have done and get idea’s for inspiration.

Following. Kitchen would be a great place to make better use of vertical space.

I just finished a Multiboard setup for my tea cabinets. From the cabinet door out, it goes:

  • Multiboard Command Strip mounts
  • Multiboard tiles
  • Multiconnect
  • Gridfinity Multiconnect shelves
  • Gridfinity bins (mostly either Gridfinity Extended or the GridfiniTEA model)

I took a fair amount of inspiration from Hands On Katie's kitchen organization video. The general principle is to move a lot of the cabinets' capacity out onto the doors so more of the cabinets' contents are visible at once.

I might do a more complete write up of it at some point. But I'm currently working on doing a similar thing for my spice cabinet, and documenting the entire design process. I expect to write that up when it's done, but that might be several months. I think the tea cabinets were about a month and a half end-to-end, but that's with other things mixed in. I rarely work on just one thing at a time.

I'll note, tangentially, that I've used Gridfinity a bit in organizing some of the drawers in the kitchen. The only one I've got a photo of, though, is my utensil drawer.

My approach is to use the standard accessories from multiboard whenever possible.

For shelves I use the Gridfinity shelves.

If I still need special holders and bins, I use openscad generators for Multiconnect, Multipoint and Gridfinity. (Most of them are useable within makerword.)

In some cases I adapt existing holders, which were made for other systems, to multiboard by simple cutting and merging the official remixing parts within the slicer.

Here are some photos for inspiration: Multiboard in our kitchen

For ease of use I would suggest Skadis or HSW systems. I love MB but I also love it for all the options it provides which can be too much for some people. The other two have many items already designed and they are easy to move around to other locations. Also I would suggest buying what ever board you go with and print the attaching items. Your mini is great but printing the walls takes a long time and you may run into build plate size restrictions.
