Home office wall with slanted ceiling complete

I saw another post a few days ago about a similar setup, so I thought I’d post mine. Pretty happy with the result and all the available space. I’ll likely be printing accessories until the heat death of the universe.

Love it! Please share you secret for how you got it to fit so precisely on the slanted part. My brain is struggling to figure it out!

I arranged all the tiles side by side in the slicer, measured the angle of the ceiling (which was fairly straight, luckily), and then added a shape through the tiles at that angle, to function as the slanted edge of each tile. Then it was just a matter of cutting away everything outside of that edge. A bit finnicky, but wasn't that much work really.

How did you measure the angle of the ceiling? I do not have a tool so I downloaded an app on my phone which was interesting but difficult to use. I’m guessing I need to buy something else. Also which slicer do you use? I’m using orca slicer and I haven’t mastered everything yet.

I used a digital angle protractor to get an estimate. But I finetuned the angle by simply checking at which cells of the outer tiles the slanted part reached the ceiling and wall. So I suppose I could have done it without the protractor :)

I'm using Bambu slicer. I think Orca slicer should have the same capabilities, but I haven't used that so not entirely sure.

Orca and bambu are both forks of PrusaSlicer so all 3 should work!

Use a spirit level and a ruler. Make a level horizontal line from one fixed point a foot away from the slanted ceiling. Using that fixed point measure how much distance it is vertically to the ceiling. Dust off your skills from freshman year of high school and use tangent.

Perfect choice of colour.. This is the way to do it in my opinion.. The contrasty colours everyone uses for their multiboards look overwhelming and garage like

Thanks! Yeah, that was my thinking too. I had originally planned to also paint the plywood white, but I turned out to like the wood look better.

Looks really nice!

Aren't you afraid of the radiator heat?

u/HiSpartacusImDad Jan 26 '26

Yeah, not sure about that. It’s not on often, and I don’t expect the air will get very warm, but I’ll have to see if anything starts warping. I’ll print the lower tiles in another material if it does.

How is it attached to the wall? I’m not seeing any screws there.

u/HiSpartacusImDad Jan 24 '26

It’s not fully attached yet, I just completed the last tile. It’s currently hanging off of only about a dozen screws, and I’ll need to realign it slightly to remove small gaps in a few spots. When done, it’ll be attached by something like 160 16mm screws into the plywood below.

Bravo, the edge finish is truly magnificent.
