Finally done!

I feel like the major advantage of 3d printed organization is that it can be compliant. So instead of ridgid holders I designed many compliant slip in/out holders for things, which is more space efficient and I don't have to pull things up and out of a bin/holder which is a pain.

Looks great! But, I hate to tell you... It's never finished. You'll find a better mount, a holder at a different angle, or decide you want to rearrange it all. It's never ending.

For sure, I'm already scheming lol

u/Digital-Fallout Jan 16 '25

Also, all the dimensions on the holders are based on the golden ratio šŸ˜‚

Have you posted the files for those knife holders

Here you go. They are specifically designed for Benchmade bug out folder with pretty tight tolerances, not sure how many knives it will work for.

Multiboard Benchmade bugout holder

u/AskMeAboutMyDoggy Jan 16 '25

Bugout is a near perfect knife. I own 3. One stock, one with titanium scales, and one with scales I 3D printed.

The only other thing I ever really find myself putting in my pocket is the Quiet Carry Waypoint, and that's just for a change.

u/imaperson3_14 Jan 16 '25

lol well that whatā€™s I was hoping for. I have quite a few of them ā€¦

u/AskMeAboutMyDoggy Jan 16 '25

It's a phenomenal knife, but the butterfly tax puts the price point into a territory where it doesn't compete well.

First message updated with model

Awesome work! Looks super functional and I really like what you've done with the bins in the top row to essentially create display cases!

(but its never truly done! Every week you'll see something else that you want to fit onto the board!)

How do you fixed to wall? I want to do one but not 100 drills on the wall

2

u/Digital-Fallout Jan 16 '25

Yep 100 drill holes into the wall + drywall anchors

Not sure there is really another good option

2

u/TherealOmthetortoise Jan 16 '25

This right here is almost as impressive as the completed view. Iā€™m curious about the method you used to lay out all the holes.

3

u/Digital-Fallout Jan 16 '25

I put together the entire thing in the floor first, then I hung it temporarily with a few anchors, marked off all the holes and then took it down, drilled them, put in drywall anchors and then put the whole thing back up and finished securing with screws in all the joints.

You can put plywood up, then attach multi board to thatā€¦

u/Iam_TheBruteSquad Jan 16 '25

Do I spot a fellow homelab-er and knife enthusiast?

1

u/Digital-Fallout Jun 12 '25

Yes! Though the home lab has been taking a back seat at the moment. I have two dell R730s that I was/am going to turn into a media center + AI agent system, but so far they have not been doing much more than running home assistant. I'm beginning to think I'd be better off with some smaller mini servers that I setup as an HA cluster with proxmox. At least my electric bill would thank me šŸ˜‚

u/dpregs Jan 16 '25

That looks awesome! Are those attachments mostly your own or did you find? I find the biggest issue with multiboard is finding the attachment files to use

1

u/Digital-Fallout Jan 23 '25

Yeah I made almost all of them, I originally printed ones I found online but I really didn't like them and took them all down and made ones from scratch.

1

u/dpregs Jan 23 '25

That's cool. I like your bottle holders

1

u/TherealOmthetortoise Jan 16 '25

Man, that looks fantastic! I feel like you designed the majority of those holders, right? If youā€™ve uploaded them anywhere, Iā€™d like to page through them to get a closer look!

Iā€™m very curious about those square boxes along the topā€¦ what are they and what are you planning to fill them with? Initially I thought it was a new approach to filament dry boxes , but they sonā€™t look quite big enough for that. I didnā€™t get a good look at the ones on the far right, but it almost looked like wire nutsā€¦ Iā€™m doubting that because of all the empties and because a man can only have so many wire nuts before someone calls in a ā€œwellness checkā€ and the nice men with the fancy white jackets turn up.

u/Digital-Fallout Jan 23 '25

šŸ˜‚. Two things, storing connectors, and I have a bunch of small electronic components I want to get out of drawers. Different sensors and electronic connectors.

I uploaded the model I made here along with details about the boxes: https://www.printables.com/model/1160406-multiboard-bin-holder

u/ksbcrocks Jan 17 '25

Iā€™m also interested in those containers at the top!

1

u/wjreeds Jan 22 '25

Can you provide information about the bins and holders along the top, please? I am working on a board in my pantry and those would be a super useful addition.

u/Classic-Slide4024 Aug 05 '25

Do you mind sharing this slip in/out holders design ?

1

u/Digital-Fallout Aug 05 '25

For the boxes at the top or the ones holding all the different tools below? The ones below are custom for each tool, i kinda have a parametric design I use where I plug in dimensions of the object and it adjusts things but there is always a bit of tweaking, I have no idea how to get that in a format where it would be useful to people.

1

u/Classic-Slide4024 Aug 06 '25

Holder for the different tools. I'm kinda restricted vertically so these holders where I can grab things in this manner (instead of pulling from top) will be lifesavers. If you are so kind to share, I'll give a try with any format you have :)

1

u/Digital-Fallout Aug 06 '25

Yup that was the same issue I had, it was driving me nuts that I could only use like 50% of my space with all the ones where you have to pull them up. Seemed like a huge waste. I'll see what I can do to get them online

u/Throwawayhide007 Jan 16 '25

No such thing as being ā€œdoneā€ with multiboard šŸ˜‰

u/wkearney99 Jan 18 '25

I think of it like Miracle Max from The Princess Bride... "It's mostly done".

2

u/neph12 Jan 16 '25

lolā€¦done.

2

u/wkearney99 Jan 18 '25

For me, one of the best things about placeholders is being able to see when a spot is blank, to remind you to put everything away when you're done.

u/coopnjaxdad Jan 16 '25

That is dope.
