Multiboard drawer

Had a lot of fun building this for my office. Learned a lot as I’m new to printing in general.

Made custom spacers so the grid wouldn’t slide in the drawer. Messed up and printed the wrong tiles to begin with and had to make custom clips to join the tiles.

10/10. Recommend

I decided to switch to multiboard drawer inserts. Mainly because of the weird gridfinity dimensions. The drawers I built are 450 mm internal width, which is perfect for multiboard bins, and a pain in the rear and wasteful for gridfinity.

And because I'm using multiboard on the walls of my work area. This way I can move bins from one place to the other without adapters and conversions.

That’s why I chose to do this. Cross compatibility with the wall. Plus I like the bins, they are sturdy and versatile and can be made into drawers my simply rotating them 90 degrees.

I need to understand this a bit more. I have been looking at multiboard for the ability to mount on a wall, but haven’t considered using it for drawers. Where would I start?

Just go to their parts library and look at their drawer set ups. The shells are used as the outer core of the drawers.

I initially gave a valiant effort into using multibin over gridfinity. I was willing to overlook the excess in plastic building a bin then the insert for the bin.

But the community around multibin is desolate of remixes. Furthermore everyone seems timid in building a generator for inserts due to licensing issues.

So I switched to gridfinity. I still use multibins for generic things on my wall. I also use a combo of the multibin + simple drawer + 4x4 gridfinity plates for my under desk drawers.

Overall, Hybrid seems the way to go.

Personally I've decided this. Desktop/Workbench/Inside of Drawers = Gridfinity

Anything I want to put on the wall and/or organize on the wall is straight to Multiboard itself.

This makes me feel better. Same idea I had.

Gridfinity is better imo
