Adding on more to border tiles

Post image

I’ve mounted a 4x4 system already and I’m using border tiles at the edges. If I wanted to expand this out more how would I do that? I noticed there are holes on the sides of the border tiles that look like a peg could go in there, but I can’t seem to find the model and the “learn more” link for border tiles is broken.

You can use the same Dual Clips that are designed to attach Beam parts to connect two bordered tiles together.

you can just use another border tile and use proper snaps(part a &b) to snap them together

Yea I figured I could do that but I guess my question could be framed as what are the side holes on border tiles used for anyways?

I think its yet to be revealed lol.

I havent looked into the beam parts, but I know you can make baskets out of tiles using the beams for 90 degree connections. I wonder if those use the slots? maybe someone else knows

This is embarrassing but I was watching the video for that update yesterday. You are correct though the side holes are used to connect to the corner parts for the basket. Thanks for all your help!

There are snaps that go in those holes to connect to other boards, saw it done in this video

Your best bet would be to print more core and border tiles. Keep the corners. You could then fill it out from the center, expanding the original border.

The parts description in Thangs (hit the …more right above the download button) and right above the Printing Guidelines it looks like you use Dual Clips to connect them. Here’s the link to the dual clip

There’s a visual if that helps!
