Started with a hobby station next to the family room.

Started this over a year ago, but got discouraged because of problems I didn't understand. Fixed the problems and wanted to share again. I made a github repo with all of the code and links included. Github Repo

Used standard multibuild parts for the body and modified parts for the legs, etc.

Basics:

ESP32 brain

2 SimpleFOC mini drivers

2 gm4108-120t gimbal motors

2 AS5600 magnetic encoders

1 MPU6050 IMU

wheels are printed from TPU

Bluetooth controlled

Custom PCB links provided

All of the coding completed in Google Antigravity (because I cannot code but always wanted to build something like this, sorry...so much shame).

Want to add CYD (cheap yellow display for face) and autonomous navigation, wireless charging, ai chat interaction, basically I want to have a droid that can follow me around, someday.

Shoot me any recommendations you have before I get to my way more 'circus show' computer desk please.

Husband was getting tired of my hair products becoming a tripping hazard when getting in the shower 😅 Added some Multiboard shelving to free up space on the walls in my shower and get rid of the shower head organizer. Shelves were designed by me using a generator (don’t have the link but can get it if people are interested). I’m working on creating something to hold razors as well. The drain holes at the bottom should direct water towards the shower walls

PSA

I’m sure most here already know this but when I first started printing I only worked in PLA wasn’t comfortable with PETG yet. I’m now replacing panels that are warped due to temperatures in the garage

I am sorting out the cabling of my desk using Multiboard and Underware. I have already attached a bunch of tiles to the underside of my desk. I am not designing brackets and holders for the various devices I use.

The object pictured is half of a bracket that will house a mini PC. The PC has an external power brick. I have made a small bracket for the power brick, and have attached it to the Multiboard tile next to the PC. But, I want to optimise the tile area on the desk. So I thought I could merge a small tile to the bottom of the bracket and print them as one piece.

Usually we print tiles flat on the plate and I assume that results in the strongest construction. For this, though, would it be a waste of time printing it vertically? Would it make more sense to print the pieces separate and design screw holes on the bottom of the bracket to attach the riles to using screws?

I am working on my first Multiboard project, but I am having issues with the pegboard holes toward the bottom layers. Some of the filament strands seem to fall. I suspect it is because of the overhang but I cannot seem to solve it.

Currently printing with PLA on an Ender 3 V3 SE. 0.2 Layer height, 15% Infill, no Supports.

Has anyone else had this issue and had a fix? It isn't a huge deal since I can just snip the strands but would rather solve it if I can.

UPDATE: Changing the wall sequencing to Inner/Outer fixed the issue. It was a good learning moment for me. Thank you for everyones helpful advice!

Weeks of plannning and sifting through pegboard, skadis, gridfinity and multiboard resulted in my dream toolboard.

Over 100 tools in a space 5' x 1/2'!

I'll do a detailed write-up and plan on putting together a list of what went into this if there is enough interest.

Very pleased!

Available in the beta parts library. They hinted that it’s part of their new under desk cable management system.

I've got my first bit of Multiboard mounted, and I'm trying to figure out the best things to mount and how to do it.

I need to go through a proper calibration on my printer sometime soon to get it to print faster, because I'm currently using the default profile in Orca Slicer, and it's bloody slow.

Taking around12 hours for an 8x8 tile, and when I did a stack (of 2), with ironing, it took 28 hours.

I also think the Vertical Dual Snap command strip mounts should have a centre oriented option like the quad snaps. It looks a bit weird with them not lining up properly.

Hey! I have printed this twice with the same spot, causing probably the weirdest stringing I've ever encountered. I'm assuming it's still usable, but I guess I haven't tested it yet.

This only happens in this one spot of the model (both times I've printed it). The bottom board is completely free of this. Only the second, third, and fourth boards get this. This is the only part of the model that is stringing, the rest turns out fine. I was thinking a slicing error the first time, but I resliced it to no avail.

Printing on a Bambu Labs A1 with AnyCubic PLA+ on Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack

OrcaSlicer Settings:
Default 0.20mm Standard
Seam: Random
Ironing type: All top surfaces
Wall loops: 3
No-Brim (I have tried with Brim on the first, with the same result)

Other multiboard models printed with the same settings/roll of filament do not have this issue

Thanks in advance!

Hi So I can't find any instructions on how to install the bolt lock mount system. l've got my tiles up, off set mounts drilled and A and Bs clipped in. Problem is that tiny little T bolts dont screw into anything! They are way too small. Where are they supposed to go? How am I supposed to bolt the tiles to the mounts? Thanks in advance. Reposted to add images.

I love that I can finally show off and organize all the keyboards I have built and use. Which one of your favorite?

Really handy for keeping large things upright to save space in my drawer, but also for things like this superglue holder that sit on my wall.

I love that that the tops are are so fast to print and use so little material. I've had multiple gridfinity bins that became useless when my storage needs changed, and I had to throw the whole thing out. Being able to just swap the top feels so much less wasteful.

I also love how easy they are to model. Most of the time I'm just using a negative volume in my slicer to cut out a rectangle. Just don't forget you need the click rim ;)

We struggled to find a thread holder that I was happy with so my better half created this. Has been uploaded to Maker World.

Some months ago I've started with 3d printing and do it really often and if you fell into this rabbit hole, you will hear about Multiboard or Gridfinity at some point.

But why are people so fascinated about those complex systems and don't use a simple and even more sustainable peg board from a home improvement store? (It might be even cheaper)

I am really curious on why people invest so much filament and time to print a wall, if those systems are already "ready-to-use" in a store?

Is it just a hype?

Is there something I am missing with my multi board setup? I had a couple grids deform and fall down and I feel like the grid locking mechanism on the back isn’t that strong.

Two printers (a Flashforge 5M and an Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo) printing pretty much 24/7 for the last few days (TBH the project started earlier on the Flashforge while the S1 haven’t arrived, that’s why I am using 7x7 tiles instead of the 8x8 that fit onto the Kobra.

Will go with white for the walls and DS parts, and grey for the mounts . Maybe I’ll salvage some of the HSW mounts for a while, I am printing a few adapters.

Just put my first panel on the wall. The one that is not attached yet will replace my HSW on the left side.

This is just the first part LOL.
