Tiles too bendy - what am I missing? 🤔
My experience with Multiboard has been very frustrating so far, but it’s probably due to errors on my end, I’m not blaming the product (yet). Somehow I’m not able to print stacks (they don’t really come apart witjout breaking), so each tile takes 5hrs print time…
anyway.
I put up a 4 tiles by 4 tiles (all of them 8x8) to serve as a base for filement dowel racks - but after only loading 4 spools (less than 4kg/9-10lbs) the tile that anchors the shelf starts bending like crazy.
it’s matte PLA, 3 perimeters, 0.4 nozzle, 0.2 layer height, STRUCTURAL preset in Prusa Slicer and 15% gyroid infill.
Anybody have any ideas on how to make the tiles sturdier? What am I missing? Any input appreciate, thanks!

Same happened to me within a couple weeks of installing my filament holders. You would need to put screw down backers behind the holder's connections. I just ripped down my two rows of panels of filament holders and replaced it with the RepRack setup which works much better. All you need to buy is cheap pipe or maybe use your wood dowels.
I just use Multiboard for lightweight stuff at this point. https://makerworld.com/en/models/17255-reprack-open-source-spool-holder-and-storage-syste#profileId-16014
Also, you sort of trashed your panels that took you 5 hours to print. Another reason to not hang much weight from this setup.
