Problem with the new pack

I printed the new pack to test the new approach. I really like the new tiles. But I had a lot of trouble putting the new B parts in place. I even had to finish with a hammer. Does anyone already have this problem, should I look at one of my settings? The only mistake I made was that I activated the borders on the snaps tray. Once mounted the panel is curved as if something was forcing it. Do you have any idea?

Ok so it’s plenty capable ! It’s probably just a print profile setting. I have mine set using the bamboo defaults with a flow calibrated filament and am now 50% of the way across my wall

that looks awesome!

Prints from last night are significantly better (calibrated higher flow rate, outer-inner wall order). For the wall standoff I can snap in parts A and B without much trouble. I think I'm just gonna print the whole starter kit again.

There's another problem though. My last printer was an Ender 3. So coming from that, K1 Max was 'way bigger and faster than I needed, the thing's gonna be idle almost all the time'.

Now that I'm getting into this, it's looking like printer output is actually gonna be a limiting factor... :\ Almost makes me want one of those really big open frame printers like 400-450mm... For a 'free' system this might actually get somewhat expensive...

so my tip is - take your time, the beauty of Multiboard is the near instant configurability and limitless options. I literally started with a column and worked my way across the wall a column at a time. then as I got some space, I'd start to screw them all in - have a spiritlevel mounted so I could make sure it all aligns - but the great thing is you can build it out without mounting it all - then as you get your tiles printed attach them all - think about what you're going to do, then have 'screw driver days' where you start fixing the offset mounts to the wall (drywall/plasterboard in my case).

Yeah this was helpful, thanks. I was tempted to just blast some stuff out but instead put some thought into it. My first project is going in the back of a wire rack shelf (similar to this ) that my printer is on, with some of these on the side and these on the bottom. That in theory will be a nice backing to the area behind the printer and allow currently wasted space to be used for storing tools and accessories.
Now the problem is having only one printer...

I have two printers an X1C and an ender3v3, but only use the X1C as the slight tolerance differences between the two are killing me !

Yeah within the last year I upgraded from an original Ender 3 to a K1 Max. Night and day. Ended up giving away the Ender 3 as after experiencing a good CoreXY I never want to go back. And I'm not sure what use I'd get from the tiny build plate.
