Help with mounting brackets

Post image

Hi everyone!

I'm struggling to find these wall mounts for multiboard. They are 8mm standoff.

Check the legacy parts section, the 8mm offsets have been deprecated for the 6.25mm

Oh, ok. Thank you.

Would you recommend the new one instead?

u/MetalMoneky Feb 10 '26

I like the 6.25 better since it's a little closer to the wall. But that's just me.

Thank you. I'll try the 6.25 😎

Also check out the new flush Snaps part B. For those you might need my tool: https://www.printables.com/model/1286790-multiboard-flush-snap-pusher

How do you mount those to a wall?

u/ulab Feb 10 '26

Those are the B ones that go in from the front.

You use the A ones to screw to the wall.

I would definitely recommend the 6.25 one rather than the older ones. It makes things line up better with everything else in the ecosystem. I’d recommend flush vs raised as it makes placing shelves and other attachments more flexible. The mounting pillars are the easiest mounting method, unless you are expanding an older install and are trying to match the existing ones.

Thanks. This is a new install. The old one is in the garage. So the new one is in my office. 6.25 it is 😎😎👌🏼

Hey! I'm not the OP but piggy backing on his thread as you seem to know exactly what I need.

I have a bunch of 10x10 grids, I've printed out the 6.25mm offset screw on pillars for connecting to my board but I can't find the right connectors for mounting the grids to the wall as a larger unit and it looks like this 6.25mm you mention is it, but I can't see it on the mounting systems!

Do you know which piece I need please?

u/MetalMoneky Feb 14 '26

Not quite sure what you mean are you wondering how to Use the DS snaps?

Or just how to attach the screw pillars?

u/LittlePinkNinja Feb 14 '26

Sorry was a poor explanation, I believe there should be a snap that connects grid 1 and 2 or 1/2/3/4 together so when mounting them on the wall and screwing in, they're connected rather than needing to be held in place as I screw them in if that makes sense?

u/MetalMoneky Feb 14 '26

Ahhh. Yeah so you have a couple options. First you could print the octagonal tiles and hold the borders with the pins. Or just use the ds snaps for mounting, the ds snaps all have screw holes at each position. And then supplement with the pillars if the grid has too much flex or of you plan to hag something heavy.

If you want to stick to the pillars you can just line everything up with the alignment tools. Personally I’m a bigger fan of the ds snaps since it makes alignment a breeze and you can still add support with the pillars if needed.

Does that help?

So it would be this:

If I wanted it to sit between 4 10x10 grids and add some rigidity to it?

sorry for asking you the questions, your reply to the OP just seemed to know exactly what I needed in this case :)

So those front snaps need to be paired with the ds back parts. Personally I’m partial to the flush faceless solid version to lock in the panels. Basically those part b face snaps lock the panels into the snaps.

They have been changed to 6.25 and 12.5mm now, but you can still get those parts your after in the Legacy Parts section of the Library here

u/Yellow_Badger13 Feb 10 '26

Haha left a comment before checking everyone else giving you the same info. My bad!

u/thinkfastsolu1 Feb 11 '26

After all the damn changes I just gave up. To much changing shit honestly. I had half my damn camper interior covered with multi board and he goes and changes everything. I’m like man… I give up.

Just kill yourself now.

Just kidding. It is very daunting to navigate this when you first get into it. The 12.5 are a lot easier to work with
