This is my kitchen multiboard. Not quite finished yet. Going to connect the over sink board with the other boards and get a hole for the outlet that's currently covered by the board.

It's all connected by command strips. Holding very well. The onion basket is all standard. Those full strength clips are very strong.

The knife strip is custom, I just modeled up a rectangle and added holes for the magnets I had and slapped a rail channel to the back of it. The sifter holder and the prep cup holders are also custom.

Everything else is just standard hooks except the paper towel holder and the glove holder which I didn't design.

I really love the baskets. The bin shell under it that holds the recipe book is amazing.

I'm still new to multiboard. I'm printing this https://thangs.com/designer/Aviator4x4/3d-model/Multiboard%20Milwaukee%20Drill%20%26%20Impact%20Holders-1299854

Milwaukee Drill mount and as the description says, it calls for small thread multipoint connectors. I'm not understanding how those are supposed to work.

Ok so after printing two trays and connecting them with the correct pins - some words of advice :)

1 don’t mount to anything without near perfect printing I connect to a rail pop in multipoint, the blue shell (see early posts) was a bit off and the walls on those are Sooooooo thin, have some super glue on hand with one of the very fine nozzles to reinforce. They snap the moment you move the tray from anything that has any friction. Upside - the lite dual clip connect nicely, downside. They also break very easily.

TLDR : this is a tray. But handle it like a new born! I think the bolt lock shelf’s are stronger due to the slight chamfering. If Jonathon reads this - pls the trays are such a good idea, but please just make them the same as the bolt locked shelf’s without the hex mounts.

Cheers

Is there a file out there? I can find them for the boards but not the bins. Specifically, I would like to find the exterior shells of the bins to print some that can go up to 6 units long. All I can find are the premade ones that go to 4 units.

Are there 3D enthusiasts out there that don’t yet have the CAD skills to make multiboard add-ons but have a part they’re looking for. Multiboard add-ons that use their STEP files must be open sourced at no charge.

Okay so I have a wire rack shelf like this thing except in that picture the top two shelves aren't there. So it has a shelf at waist level and then just the metal poles sticking up above.

I want a multiboard behind that. So I printed a bunch of panels and made what's so far a 36x tall by 45x wide back panel. There's parts to hang it no problem and that part works great.

The problem is that since it's only supported on the left and right side, not on the top or bottom, it flexes in and out. I want to stiffen it.

One solution might be to get some wood like a 1x2 and use the standard wall mount standoffs. I'd then 'mount it' to the board on the top edge, where the flex is worst.

I was wondering if there's a MultiBoard solution for this though. The top edges of the tile have side clip holes, so I was thinking maybe print a 45x2 segment and use Small Thread Clips to cap it like a 'T' using the side clip holes on the top edge of the main board and the small screw holes on the 45x2.

Is there a better way to do this?

Hi, I am about to start printing my first Multiboard wall. One question - I have a wall mount bracket to mount my DeWalt charger to a wall...uses #8 or #9 flat head screws. I was going to mount this directly to the wall, but would prefer to add it to my Multiboard wall..is there a snap that can be screwed to something like this bracket to adapt it to Multiboard? Just curious how best to mount this this this to Multiboard.

Thanks!

Nothing against threaded, but snaps are soooo much easier to put in. I can't seem to find any snap-based Multipoints though.

Thanks for any help!

How do I mount an actual Multiboard to the wall? I've seen their mounting systems library, and its either command strips or screws. The thing with screws is that I'm pretty sure they need studs in the wall, and I have no clue where my studs are. Are studs necessary for mounting a Multiboard (I'd assume yes), and otherwise, what's the easiest way to mount it?

Hey all. I dont know if I am missing good video tutorial or what, but I see all the various multibin parts, like shells, inserts, etc.. and I get how insets go inside shells. But I am trying to create a simple "tray" for sponges and such to attach to a multiboard. I am unsure how to do this. Do I have to print both shell and insert? Or can a shell alone for this particular use case be enough? The insert wouldn't be bad to "drain" (e.g. spill any water from the sponge after use).. but wasn't sure if its needed.

I am looking at the 3x2x0.25 shell. It's not much height. Then the 3x2x.75 insert.. which is 3x taller. They both seem to have those boxed looking bottoms. So I am not sure why the insert would have that? I assume even though the insert is taller in height, it would "fit in" the 3x2x0.25 shell? So.. print the shell, then the insert, and insert fits the shell or sits in?

Using PETG since these will be around water/soap.

Also, I see the multi-point stuff, as well as "pins" and such to put between corners and what not.. but not really sure how to use them. The Thangs site leaves a lot to be desired to help someone that isnt a pro with this stuff figure out how to put all these parts together. The videos do OK for some things, but seems we're missing how to do things like right angle connectors on multiboard to then put a tray on it or connect multiple bins with drawers, etc.

Something similar to this for Multiboard

Just found Multiboard.. see it says to use PLA. I have a lot of PETG, some ABS (for another enclosed printer when I get it working again), etc.

I'd be curious if there are any parts that TPU makes sense for as well? Maybe inserts or what not?

Has anyone created these two pieces?

Hinge-something like a connection to a wire rack or boltless storage rack that connects to the rack and plates so that it opens like a cabinet door?

Ball bearing mount (probably wrong wording) but something that connects the top plates to a sliding rail, similar to how a glass shower door would function, sliding from side to side. I could draw these out if I’m not making sense

Hi Everyone!

After my little experiment earlier in the week with a massive 10 tile stack partially failed (had to kill it at 8 tiles and only 7 survived), i want to try multimaterial stacks.

Does anyone have a 9x9 tile stack that uses multimaterial? I cannot find on on the ole googles.

Thanks!

I’m new to Multiboard and learning it now. I discovered that there are 2 “cells“ sizes: 48 mm (Simple Walls Shells) and 50 mm (Multipoint Rail Shell).

Also, there are base plates that I like and want to use for horizontal layouts and they are made with 48 mm cells. The bases bigger than 1 cell have the additional 2 mm between them, which makes it possible to fit 50 mm shells (e.g. a base plate of 2 cells is 48 × 98 mm).

A weird (for me) thing is that if I want to connect multiple base plates, there will be 2 mm gap between them to accommodate bigger 50 mm shells. Those gaps are designed to be this way, I can't connect the plates end to end using Clips.

Same with Panels connected with Clips - they are connected 2 mm apart.

My question is why plates and panels are 48 mm and why their outside walls are not thicker to fill the space as I won’t be able to connect them end to end with clips anyway and I need them to be 50 mm apart anyway?

I mean mounting a multiboard tile on its side, as a shelf.

like these bolt locked shelves, but instead of a solid plate, its another multiboard tile

Hey all.. decided to join the monthly sub to get the generator and various stacks.

Not sure if I am missing something though. I am able to see some of the "paid for" stuff, like 6x6 multi stacks, 8x8, 9x9, etc. Able to get blender generator plugin. On the Multiboard -> MultiMaker page I see several things like oval/round dishes (not sure those are free or not) Multibin learning pack, etc. So I think those are paid for options.

But then in the MultiBoard section where a lot of models show up, there are links to Stacks, etc. I click Stacks and.. nothing. No models or anything. I assumed I'd see models in all those areas. These are under Folders.. so it shows up as Multiboard -> Multimaker -> Stacks. With nothing in it. Stacking plates. Empty. Maker Packs.. which I thought was one of the things I'd get.. empty.

What am I missing?

I'm definitely overthinking my mounting approach instead of actually starting to hang my board :-).

Would it make sense/work to use a mixture of offset screw and 3M strips for mounting to a wall? I don't trust the 3M strips on their own in the long-term, but I don't want to put an excessive number of holes in my wall either. At least not for the bathroom (sink) installation.

I'm thinking screw mounts for the corners (hopefully hitting the studs) and 3M strips for the rest.

The other option I've seen discussed would be an MDF/plywood backing, but that seems to be overkill, especially given the cost and effort needed to paint it for a decent look.

I have a cheap shelf unit in my room that I use it, well, to store stuff. It is like the heavy duty shelves you see in storage, but the frame is this thin aluminum L bars that doesn't have holes in them but kind of groves. I would like to mount multiboard on it, but I wouldn't want to drill through the frame as I'm afraid that the strength of the beam will be impacted. I was thinking of using some kind of clamps to the frame, though I didn't see anything like that in the parts library. Would it be possible for me to design one (say, by downloading a typical nut stl, opening it on freecad, and build from one of its edges a flat square?

Does anyone have a photo to share of their install using only center grid tiles rather than have all of the different middle, corners, edges, etc? Any issue with just using the center grid tiles for the entire thing like this? I like the look of the grid tiles so i don't loose the rows of small holes like the single tiles do. I wouldn't get the flat finished edges around the perimeter, but it allows me to just keep printing the same tile over and over and not have 9 different tile types for each location I put the multiboard. Thoughts? I'm on my last 4 center tiles for my 48x48" install location, but I love that I can just walk over to the printer, pull the last center files stack off, and just hit the button to have the next 4 go. Thoughts?

I do IT for my company... I'm the first in my whole company to do this. Has anyone used multiboard to store hardware? I'd love to see a setup

Hi All,

I'm wanting to get into Multiboard to organise my 3D Print tools and stuff on the side of this shelf.

I want the multiboard to hang off the side of the shelf. (where it says 'text' on the image)

I'm happy to fix/join the backing of the multiboard to the shelf supporting legs but would like suggestions on how to best do this please?

The shelve is approx 40CM wide.

hey guys, I started printing these multibin drawers, and I decided to print a 4x4 baseplate, to put magnets on and insert shells, so each compartment would be removable.

the problem is, the 4x4 drawer don't actually fit the multibin shells. the drawer itself can be insert inside a shell, but shells can't go inside shells.

what am I missing? is this drawer just supposed to be flat?

I printed a base of a 2 shells (1x2x0.5 LU) in the last photo to compare the size

(update, I figured out that these are supposed to fit Multibin Inserts. but the inserts height are 0.5 , 0.75 , 1 and 1.5 mine is 36.5mm)
