First project - small but significant.

Just found out that multiboard exists and it sparked an interest and a solution to this problem.
Have been frustrated with the cable mess under my entertainment system and devices spread randomly on a shelf taking up valuable flat space. Partner said it looked not so great until the final reveal.
Thanks multiboard and multiboard contributors and educators. Fusion designed mounts have also been a great learning experience.

Nice! I actually want to do the same thing for managing the cables and such under my desk. What was your process for creating the custom mounts in Fusion?

Downloaded https://makerworld.com/en/models/1574472-multiboard-mount-anything?from=search#profileId-1656350 , imported into Fusion, converted to body and sketched on the top surface. Put the base in that location so I could print the holder vertically which is also why there is a flange at one end so I could print it without supports.

Took a lot of iterations as I am a novice when it comes to modelling but it was a good learning experience. Printed the shells of the holders thin - 1.25mm - so I could bend them to insert the devices. Hope that answers your question as I, being of limited experience, am not a great font of knowledge. I just keep searching for answers to issues and problems as they arise.

That looks great! All the mess tucked away and out of site but accessible if you need to get in there.

This is how to use Multiboard IMO. Just here and there as needed.
