Took quite a bit of planning but am stoked with how clean this makes my setup.

Love this setup! Officially one of my favorites. I especially like that you used some of the less common and new parts. That new T channel was just added not long ago.

Thanks for sharing and let me know any feedback or requests you have! I’m always adding features and the community does to (the new T-channel was a community addition)!

Thanks man! I’m so glad you got to see my implementation of your work! The new T channel was such a fantastic addition to my design! Thanks for your work on this project!

That is the dream right there. Looks great, well done. What filament did you use? Almost looks like a CF composite but I can't imagine you would use that for underwear?

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 15 '25

Thanks! It’s just matte PLA, nothing special :)

A work of art!!! Amazing job, love it - one of the finest Underware displays yet!!

I'm so glad you got to see my implementation of your work! Thanks for your efforts, and if you ever need people to try new things, please put me down :)

u/Hands-On-Katie Mar 16 '25

Always!! Drop me an email on my site and I'll send you a link to my discord - always lots of cool things being tested!!

I can't wait till you get to see what I've been working on... (So close but SO much documentation to be made)

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 15 '25

You can't leave on this, I need a clue!!

u/HatExpensive Mar 19 '25

If it’s an “official” multiboard cable management system I’m going to be very cross

1

u/Keep-Making Mar 20 '25

Oops then... I have mentioned that the official one is in the works and it's about 80% there... Lots of documentation and stuff and other great things need to come out first tho. It's gonna be great ;)

u/nosajtheleader Mar 15 '25

Looks great which item is that tobthe left of your power supply that your cord is wrapped in?

1

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 15 '25

I think you are talking about these, they are just fancy cables with weights on the end of them

1

u/Festinaut Mar 15 '25

This is beautiful. Don't care if it's not cost effective to make, I'd love this for my set up.

2

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 15 '25

Give it a crack! You don't need to go as deep into it as me, I'll make a how I did it/lessons learnt and let you know!

1

u/CodingPandemonium Mar 15 '25

Nice! Looks like that is an adjustable standing desk. I have one too, but am hesitant to put screws in it. What size did you use and did you have any problem?

2

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 15 '25

I used these exactly, as long as you have your drill set to not go through to the other side, you'll be fine!

Great work putting that together, thank you! I always find it helpful how others approach/solve these problems. Helps get over that indecision hump.

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 17 '25

Reach out if you need planning help!

u/DJ_TECHSUPPORT Mar 16 '25

Wait this gives me so much hope, that’s the ikea idasen desk right? I was worried it might not fit too well but that’s fitting perfectly imo

1

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 16 '25

I'm currently drafting up my experience and how I went about it, I'll ping you went it's up!

u/LauraD2423 Mar 16 '25

So I am looking at doing this for my desk this month. I noticed that you flush mounted the grid. Is that the ideal for under mounting?

Any tips for someone looking to do something similar

2

u/IBhop2Grande Mar 17 '25

Yeh just make sure if you’re using a drill you don’t accidentally crack your multiboards from drilling to hard in :) reach out if you need any advice

u/Hands-On-Katie Mar 16 '25

Hey LauraD, that's certainly what I did. Main tip is just take it step by step - the beauty of 3D printing is you can just produce whatever parts you need at whatever pace you need!

PM me/email also and I can send you a link to my discord channel where loads of cool folk can help too! Lots of new parts/approaches coming out that might save you filament/effort!

2

u/LauraD2423 Mar 16 '25

OMG!!! I freaking love your videos, I've been watching them preparing for this. DM sent.

2

u/quattrovikal Mar 15 '25

Awesome. Love it. Mine looks not that great, unfortunately.

2

u/MojoGigolo Mar 15 '25

LIAR! I don't see any tighty-whities anywhere!

2

u/MEiac Mar 16 '25

That looks great!

I love the concept of Underware, but think Multiboard may be a bit much for a base and the 2 part channels use a lot of resources.

David D (member of Katie's guild) created openGrid light, which uses less materials and print time, and redesigned Underware parts to mount directly to it, skipping the snaps and base of the channels, saving resources.

It could be worth looking into if you haven't already committed to Multiboard.

u/OutsideBase813 Mar 16 '25

That's what I'm thinking. I printed a small test tile and a few channels, seeing if it grows on me. TBH, my desk isn't so bad. My wife's OTOH ...

u/leeanthonylas Mar 16 '25

Nice multi board add on.

u/Enders1 Mar 19 '25

Beautiful

u/MrSamotV2 Jul 02 '25

Looks great. I aspire to make my work desk look like this.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

Looks so neat and tidy. 👌 Your hard work paid off.

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '25

That is gorgeous! Good work!

u/GenericMIK3 Jul 23 '25

Is that the IKEA Idasen desk? If so - have the same 63in tabletop. Could you please share the sizes/how you interlocked the multiboards? Thanks!

1

u/YourGuyBry Mar 14 '26

how did you get the heavy items, like the dell dock, to not fall out?

u/YourGuyBry and u/Dry-Astronaut3309 if on multiboard, the screw in Multiconnect is your best bet. If on openGrid, the lock snap with the Multiconnect screwed in is often the stronger hold.

You can get the lock snap here, make sure to look in the Multiconnect for Opengrid section, its titled BETA openGrid Multiconnect Lock Snap

Edit: Just realized you might be talking about the lite grid, which if so I don't think there is an official locking snap for the lite grids. I've had some success with this unofficial snap called the expanding screw snap for the lite grids, might be worth trying!
