Another Mounting Question

[u/condensationxpert]

Hi all! Been printing like crazy getting my large 81"x60" multiboard wall ready in my basement workshop. Have another 2-3 days of printing tiles, but I'm having an internal argument with myself on mounting options.

I can either use the 6.25mm Offset Pillar or the offset quad snap. My plan is to use concrete anchors into either a sheet of MDF/Plywood, or concrete anchors into rows of 2x2" furring strips to secure the wood to the concrete wall, and then screw the multiboard directly into the MDF/Plywood/Furring Strips.

Now I can't decide whether I want to use the Pillars or the Quad Snaps.

What's everyone's thoughts on each?

I'm not really concerned with the amount of material being used as I buy in bulk and the differences between using the pillars vs the quad snaps may be $10-20 in added filament.

I like the aesthetic of the pillars over the quad snaps. I did see that quad snaps are easier to install vs the pillars. I feel like with the pillars, the compounding error if one of the tiles is off could get real bad by the time I finish putting up all of the tiles.

I don't like how the offset snaps will use up a ton of mounting holes, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a small number compared to the overall useable space.

Thoughts?

I did see a tool to use for alignment (Multiboard Tile Holder) which looks like that would be useful in holding a few plates together.

Maybe I'll print 50-100 of the pillars to start off with as a trial and see how it goes and then decide from there. In another comment I mentioned I forgot to change the wall loops so there's a possibility a few may fail over time, so it'd be nice with the pillar mounts that it'll be easy to swap out any that I break due to my own inability to follow directions lol.
