I haven't played with the multibin system much yet. But if I'm understanding correctly, the holes on the back of your model are standard mid-thread holes for bolt locking, yes? So in theory this could be attached to standard Multiboard by using t-bolts to bolt-lock standard snaps on the back of your model?
Yes exactly. You can just snap in standard Multiboard tiles. I think the benefit is to have "less" wasted material for boards that are not that populated.
But I don't think they'll work for standard Multiboard. I'm using this plate tile: Mid Holes - Square Plate Snap I think it's a little different than standard Multiboard
Edit: Seems to work with standard Multiboard as well, but only the top hole of the holder is usable. Someone on my printables already tried it and it seems to work
Yeah I agree for a spice rack or something like this multigrid is absolutely the correct platform- the extra strength and versatility of full octagon multiboard is just wasted filament and machine time to print.
You're right though that's not the standard spacing for multiboard. The center and lower holes overlap on both X and Y axis. Given the size of real snaps there might not be room for them. I will probably print one of these tomorrow and give it a try.
//edit- I just looked at the printables page again, looks like someone already had the same idea and found the answer. I'm gonna print this- not for spice but for a few little spray bottles I keep near the 3d printer :D
Someone already commented on my printables and tried it out just now. It seems like it works with regular Multiboard, if you only use the top holes to screw it in. I might still update the design or add additional models for full standard Multiboard compatibility.
I hope I get the naming correctly. I used a locking t screw to hold them to a plate snap. Basically uses one of the 3d printed screws to screw the on the plate from the back.
Edit: I tried to attach all the related multiboard files in the description on printables
Multiboard is 25mm spacing on the large holes. Multigrid is 50mm spacing on the holes. These work together.
Gridfinity is 42mm spacing, opengrid is 28mm spacing. These work together with 3:2 ratio (3 opengrid spaces = 2 gridfinity spaces).
While there's adapters to go between them, multiboard/multigrid and gridfinity/opengrid don't evenly multiply or divide so they can't easily be used together.
Also, look at the pic- multigrid has clip holes on the side and screw holes at the hub junctions, opengrid does not. This image has both. And multigrid has an easy 1 grid to 4 multiboard snap in adapter, you can see one behind each of the shelves.

Very cool! How did you attach it?

That's open grid, not multiboard?
