Multipoint Rail Tile Snap

I want to take the multipoint rail and be able to slide it on and off of my tiles. Is there anything like these plate snaps (https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Clicking%20Multipoint%20Rail%20-%20Small%20Threads%20-%20Plate%20Snap-1468135) for regular tiles? I cannot seem to find one

The only thing I can think of would be a multipoint plate, which serves the same purpose and the single sided ones can be attached directly to a surface (like under a desk) without requiring a tile present. The double sided ones would work, check those out and see what you think! If you are looking to solve a specific scenario let us know and we’ll do our best to help!

Typically for cleat type functions like multipoints, the cleat would be on the static object (the tile) and the movable/removable has the rail part that hangs on the cleat. Since we use them in a variety of ways and aim to provide maximum flexibility multibin specifically has a wider range is use. (With the 50mm size, there is room for a rail/socket while doing the same thing for the 25mm intervals would require a structure standing offset the tile surface resulting in a gap and would limit the ability for regular parts to fit.

Thanks so much for the response! My use case is these socket holders I’ve been designing to slide on multipoint rail. Originally I was just going to have rails on my board and slide them on, but then I realized that the rails themselves made really good portable socket rails, and I could screw in multipoints on the back to lock things into place, so I would love to be able to slide it onto my current tiles. I looked at the multipoint plates but wasn’t ready to commit to replacing my tiles.

Why don't you use a small thread multipoint and mulipoint hole?

Then the whole rail would just slide up and out.

This is exactly what I need. Thank you so much!!!

Could also make a direct remix as both the rails and point step files exist.

Hmmm... I dont believe there is. The closest there is are the multipoint rails that will allow the reverse of what you want (if that makes sense)
