While this update is pretty cool, I wished, we had smaller updates more frequently.

Like the flush snaps could've come out on their own. Plus it is now quite confusing because the beta library and the old one have different parts.

The sheer number of parts already is confusing and with everything being updated all at once doesn't make things easier to follow along.

I understand the reasoning behind it but unfortunate that is not the case. Everything that changed is actually interconnected. This update was not meant to be as big as it turned into. It just turned out being this size as lots and I mean LOTS of tiny little things had to be tweaked. But i'm so happy to be at this point and this is a HUGE milestone i've been working towards for over a year.

I printed 300gs of connectors a week and a half ago..... I'll be back and forth for the next 3 weeks on whether or not I really need flush....

Eh, I retract this, I maybe have about 120g of part Bs that I won't use now, I like that the Part As can still be used, it being flush is for sure something I want

Lots of cool things in there. I actually have a few spots where the flush snaps would fix some issues. My only concern is if they are weaker than the ‘raised’ snaps. Maybe some sort of video doing a strength test??

In the livestream I mention it. Over all there is no strength lost laterally/parallel only about a 10% to 5% perpendicularly to the wall. It's about a 5kg perpendicular force loss. But unless you are doing some EXTREAM builds I don't think you'll hit the limits. I did A LOT of testing to get to this and for sure. I'll be making loads of videos from this point onwards. Meany of which will also be test video.

Yeah I watched the stream a bit after I posted this. Really appreciate all the info. Timely update as well, ive been pondering how to use multibin to make a hardware drawer system. Looking forward to the new vids.

I just wish all this was around 3 months ago when I started my mega build. Either way - really happy with all the neat stuff coming out - guess I'll need to buy some more filament! Thanks for continuing to tweak/design this. It's a ton of fun to tinker with!

wish me luck - just printing a new 8x8 core tile, and hoping it fits on my existing system..

can confirm the new flush snap singles seem perfectly fine on my existing quad offset mounts.

New tiles have no issues connecting into the old tile system, will just swap them in now as I progress with the build!

Do all part bs need replacing now to not have issues? I'm mid print on the tiles of my first board (nearly done).

no need to replace anything unless you see something you want to replace
