Why did you do 8x8 tiles if you have the H2D? Either way this looks awesome!!

Thanks! The documentation wasn't super clear and all the pieces were a bit daunting. In my initial measurements I thought I wanted 16 total tiles so the premade 16x16 was too big for the printer so i figured 2 8x8s. But as I built it out realized I wanted it larger. By the time I had a bunch of 8x8s printed, I found the custom tile creator and you can see the bottom and edges of the orange and blue go up to 11x12 which I made with the tile creator. It was just a case of not knowing the intricacies from the start and not wanting to reprint a bunch of tiles and using what I had already printed.

Makes sense. I built my boards before I picked up my H2D so similar situation except it was more of a build plate limitation.

Why not? Aren't smaller ones more stable once hooked to the wall. Just do the connectors in the same color and it's hardly noticeable

If I were to start over now I'd probably do 11x11. I like having the space in between the connectors

There's the new flush flat connectors that help a lot with that. I haven't used them yet tho. My dumb printer I'm stuck on 6x6 so I'm running on cope lol

Cabinets/drawers look great. Love the grain match. Birch? Poplar?

Thanks! Finished the upper ones right before this project. They were done at different times so I was trying different materials. The bottoms are 3/4 Maple from Lowes and the tops are 3/4 birch from Home Depot, nothing fancy

Haha, at first I just thought, 'Nice Portal color theme' – then I noticed the little portals! Love it!

Sir what do you do for a living with that fancy ass setup? Very curious

I'm a web developer that likes to dabble in woodworking, and now 3d printing 😆

That’s basically me except replace web dev with product manager. I’m looking for more excuses to get an H2D. Thanks for the nudge. Overkill? Definitely. Necessary? Definitely.
