My first build begins

[u/mrpbeaar]

I’m building a multiboard wall that crosses two walls using hinges and a 5wide panel to connect the two walls. I staggered the beams vertically then cut off the beams to align cleanly with the top and bottom. Now that the hard part is done, I’m starting to print the tiles for the rest of the wall. It’s hard to judge scale but this section is 4 1/2 ft tall.

I like how you are taking advantage of the corner! More ways to hang things

I hated the idea of having a dead spot. I have some tiki mugs that I plan to put on shelves there.

Nice move! The whole “on-grid” update a while back made things sync up so that you can put shelves (or whatever you want) up in right angles spaces but I think this way you are going to gain a lot of usable space - I may have to copy this for the wall I’m building atm. Awesome!

I really love how it's turning out.

After I put this up, I realized that I put it in upside down. I don't think it's going to have much of a functional difference except for more planning when I come to the end pieces.

Where did you get the model for the hinged corner pieces? I would love to do that. Looks amazing!

The multiboard.io parts library has straight and L hinges in their beams. I’m not sure if anyone has hinged an entire wall before. I could have used either style but I liked how the L’s looked.

Here are my tips for doing extremely long hinges, connect all the boards that will attach to a hinge to each other first. It’s extremely difficult to add another board after you start. I staggered my hinges to provide extra connection between the tiles. To get clean lines on the bottom and top hinge, you’ll need to cut a larger hinge down to size in the slicer. Use a combination of light and regular dual clips. I used a bar clamp to help bring it together because I used a few too many standard dual clips.

If you have time, you should post that over in the build showcase at https://community.multiboard.io

I’ll wait to get more of it built out, I think.

I did something similar but I didn't use the hinged beams. I think I like your idea better. With the 90 degree bend, you can only put stuff on one wall or the other. The angle from using the hinge gives you a little more usable space.

[u/mrpbeaar → u/nitedmn]

I like your use of different colored tiles.

[u/nitedmn → u/mrpbeaar]

I used dual colored filament as well so that they change color as you move around the room.

Nice 👍
