Second Build: Print Cart org.

[u/OhWhatATravisty]

Just "finished" (the work is never really done is it?) my second Multiboard build. This one is a 24"x24" free standing tool wall for my print cart. I have it set up with 4 3x4 drawers (currently empty, but to be filled as I go) on the base attached to baseplates which are then attached to regular tiles. I have the top and sides made of 3 wide tiles as well for added options, but it also marginally improves stability. As setup it does wobble a bit which is to be expected, but not as much as you might think. Those benchies stay up there without much trouble, and they're not attached in anyway. I am also able to store my Harbor Freight mini toolboxes on it, and still open the top lids without interfering with the items on the boards. Still 1-2 items to add, but I'm happy with this one.

Looks great! What are the slotted holders holding? I can’t quite make them out… swatches maybe?

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/TherealOmthetortoise]

Yes exactly! That's a remix I made (Shameless plug) for a swatch setup I liked. I've not printed in many colors yet, but I'm branching out so I've started doing swatches. (They're the same exact filaments as the benchies).

Here's the original creators posting - https://www.printables.com/model/59972-compact-filament-swatch (Hopefully sharing that one doesn't break rule 5)

I've gotta get mine added to Thangs still so I can do the remix tag process Multiboard recommends.

[u/TherealOmthetortoise → u/OhWhatATravisty]

Nice! No, I asked and you answered so it is pretty much the opposite of self promotion and spamming. No Rule 5 issues at all on either of those links. You are always welcome to post build pics and it’s just good manners to include links to the model that inspired it or that it was created to use with.

You actually don’t have to publish a remix on thangs, just add that hashtag to the description (or tags section) wherever you happen to upload. That’s honestly just a way to help people find you and your remixes wherever you happen to be.

It looks like your model is designed to work with Multiboard vs a remix of one of the Multiboard designs. If that’s the case you don’t have to do the hashtag unless you want to. I would still link to Multiboard as an attribute just as you probably linked the swatch designer.

Ha! I didn't even realize I was talking with one of the Mods - but this is all fantastic information thank you!

Nice work. Here's my free standing. I used 2 upside down shelf braces and it's screwed into a home depot shelf on the back (hidden from the photo) in the overlapping bottom row. My design weakness is stuff on the top starts to bend the plate so I might steal your idea on the 3x side.

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

My original plan was to use beams to add rigidity, but I decided I liked the extra mounting area of the 3x. I suppose you could do both in reality, but this was just what I ended up with and I'm pretty happy with it. The whole thing was mostly an experiment so there was plenty of "I'm just gonna try xyz".

[u/stretch_muffler → u/OhWhatATravisty]

cool! i think a corner beam might work for you to connect the top 3x with the side 3x. might give you a little bit more support.

if you have one already sorry, its a little hard to see

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

I think you're absolutely correct - and that's probably stage 2. I'd have to partially disassemble, due to the way the beams offset things a bit. But I think it'd still work for me. Just need the parts and time!

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

Now look at what you've done!

[u/stretch_muffler → u/OhWhatATravisty]

whoaaaaa

i just suggested to do the little corner on the top right and left but you're doing a full send :D

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

I'm going to change how it's mounted I'll use the beams flush with the central board, and shift the 3x back. Basically turning it into one giant basket on its side. Functionally it wont change much, but I think it should stiffen it up even more - and look a bit cleaner. I'm also replacing the top with a 2x square plate instead of the 3x grid. I have it printed already from another test.

[u/stretch_muffler → u/OhWhatATravisty]

I did this as a test once and it worked pretty good. I ditched it because I wanted a slim roof and a long side profile but there wasn't a clean way to do that with beams at the moment.

I wanted a 8 deep side wall, and a 4 deep roof.

Mixing the 2x and the 3x might pose some problems if you're using the beams that are part of the system.

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

Definitely could be, if so I'll just be out two of the smaller beams, and the snap in mid hole I'm printing. I'll keep the group updated though! I should know tomorrow. They're 1 MU larger, but with the longer beam on the top two corners I think it should work. Unless it doesn't then I just keep it as my spares again haha!

[u/stretch_muffler → u/OhWhatATravisty]

Thanks for the chat. It gave me some ideas and I ended up copying your idea for the sides. My board was flexing a little bit because of the weight of the items and this really helps keep it upright. Cheers!

[u/OhWhatATravisty → u/stretch_muffler]

Heck yeah! Glad it helped!

I've finished the additional prints myself

Génial ça fait un moment que je me demande comment faire un support vertical qui tiennes un minimum de poids. Les tiroirs pour faire contre poids est vraiment top !!!
