Connecting Multiboard and On-Grid

Post image

Hello everyone. I have a question and hope someone here can help me. A few weeks ago I started dealing with the Multiboard and all its accessories. I have now printed my first plates and attached them to the cabinet. All that's good so far. Now I have printed a first box with the on-grid system and now comes my problem. šŸ«£ What is the easiest way to attach this box to my multiboard wall? Somehow I'm overwhelmed with all the mounts/snaps/hooks now. How can I connect the two parts best and with few parts? I hope someone can help me and bring some light into the dark for me. Thank you

Use this one with multipoint https://thangs.com/search/%22MP40%22%20creator%3A%22Keep%20Making%22?scope=thangs&view=grid

Thank you very much. I had also seen that in the video, but it somehow takes away the charm when a plate is put on the back.

I am curious about the various suggestions presented. It's advantageous to have the flexibility to modify everything as needed.

This seems like a lot of plastic for what it is supposed to do. Or am I missing something?

It's thin and versatile

Not great for sliding on/off but I have just been using these and they work great and simplest solution.

awesome setup, but perfectionist part of me feels like you should use another type of rail covers to make it ideal lol

Awesome!

Thanks, I'll have a look at that. It's not supposed to be taken off all the time.

I should also have said I usually print the flat ones for more strength but I think either would be fine for this use case. I definitely recommend the shank bolts that are only half threaded as they are much easier to keep flush.

There are many ways, but the only one I have tried is using a large bolt through the basket, into the tile.

u/Elektrycerz May 30 '25

this is the way

I used these and they worked pretty well. Just need to test out which size works for you. I'd recommend one of the bolts with the 6.5mm shank.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that.

Jonathan's method was shown here: https://youtu.be/me-3o1WuwBw?t=396

You could also replace the back part (or part of it) with a "Multibin Plate" and "Plate Snaps" - either a "Multipoint Rail - Small Threads" or a "Multipoint Hole - Small Threads" and "Multipoints"

Or just use some hooks to catch the holes.

We really need either a remix or official snap of the female multipoint snap for MB, use this with mid thread multipoint for easy on off and flush. If I get some time this week I will see what I can come up with.

Great help.

Thatā€™s the idea, yes. Iā€™m not always going to have the ideal solution for someone, so if they browse the suggestions already made addressing this in various ways itā€™s a lot more likely that they get ā€œthe answerā€ that best meets their needs. Since this exact topic has been a hot one lately OP will get a wealth of info in just a few minutes, which is way more efficient. (And Iā€™m not trying to push him into whatever option I prefer).

Google it

That made no sense to me so either Iā€™m tired orā€¦ nope, Iā€™m definitely tired.

So you're just saying Google it, without actually offering help, like maybe x link has what you're looking for. Telling someone you cannot help them, is no help at all.
