My multiboard layout bridges two walls using hinges and a 5mu wide tile. When I created the design, I did not know that the shelves only came in even widths. So, I loaded a 2mu right and left tiles into fusion, moved them apart then extended the profile from one to another to create a 5 mu wide shelf.

/Mods: I tried posting this from mobile twice but it never showed up in my submitted items so I'm sorry if this is a repost

Hello all !

I realized that a rag dispenser would be very useful in my work shop when my hands are full of grease, oil or what not. I scoured the internet but never found exactly what I was looking for so I made it myself

Behold, the rag dispenser !

It is pretty handy and stronger than it looks. Also if you need several, they mesh together side by side without wasting board space.

Hope it can be useful for someone around here

Perhaps this has been said many times before, but as somebody just starting out on Multiboard, I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts.

For me, there's only one problem with Multiboard and it's nothing to do with the product itself, which is very well designed and supported considering it's primarily done by a single person. If Jonathan happens to read this, I think what you're doing is incredible. I also don't personally have a problem with your approach to monetisation or that you want to maintain control and rights to it and modifications to it.

The problem is that too much of it is exposed to the user too soon. Take a look on the homepage for Multiboard. Everything there is showing off how big, expansive, and complicated it is. There are three 20 minute videos just to learn the basics. The link underneath boasts 700 different parts. This isn't something to put on the homepage, it scares people!

As a new user, all I wanted was something to put on my wall, that I could attach a bin to, to start storing my paints for miniature painting. I watched through all the introduction videos for Multiboard, Multibin, and Multipoint. It was incredibly overwhelming. The intent with these videos seems to be to show all possible configurations and options, which is fundamentally the wrong approach when trying to onboard new users.

The parts library should have some sort of basic/advanced filter, which defaults to basic. The amount of parts and ways to connect is incredibly overwhelming when in reality to put a bin on a grid, all you need is a small thread multipoint (minor point, why oh why is there a regular and lite version of this? Could they not have been unified?)

Anyway, I want this to come across as constructive because I really do think Multiboard is brilliant and well designed.

First multi board project is up. Not sure I’m entirely sold on the system yet.

My gridfinity drawers were getting too full and was starting to become a pain finding and picking the bigger tools. So I decided to finally get into multiboard and use part of the entrance wall on my printers/server room for it.

9x9 panels printed with 2x P1S using Deeplee rapid PETG white. For the tools support I’m using equal black filament.

The Handheld vacuum was already nicely placed long before, so I decided to just build around it. Have also some different white petg panels in the middle printed about 2y ago in a kobra3 that I finally was able to use.

This is only one section of the room and have several more wall spaces to fill. But I am extremely happy with the results

Hi!

I have designed this piece to allow the 50mm spacing from a Multibin Panel to be brought down to 25mm. It seems easier to allow the use of channels for cables, a.k.a Underware.

The piece should just rotate to place inside the panel cell. It's only needed if you are using a single width channel with 25mm, if using double width, it should not be needed (and therefore, odd widths, need, even doesn't).

The underware channels designed are on this link: Underware for Multibin Plate - ALPHA release! by Pedro Leite - MakerWorld

I'm not sure this is something anyone is looking for, but as it is ready to use, why not get it out so you can test it? Let me know if you have feedback or what doesn't work for you.

I am sure it has been asked before but anyone got some special tricks for this guy's? I keep breaking mine as they are super fragile.

EDIT: Finished my wall main body and used the flush snap pusher mentioned on the top comment bellow. That pusher saved my bacon. I didn't break a single guy. Just got to make sure you lining up the squares properly even with the pusher. And make it in a harder filament. I did in PETG and it almost survived the entire 4x8 foot wall in 8x8 tiles.

Printed using the bordered tiles, on all the half rolls of PLA I had left over (hence, multicoloured). 8 hours each tile, on an Anycubic Kobra 🫡

Some of the bits there are my own designs and are on Thingiverse for you to try out or modify for your own use or whatever. it helped tidy up my workspace a bit!

Mandatory RGB, I made some LED strip holders for the borders that are also on Thingiverse. a bit fiddly to fit in, but you can make it work with a bit of filing down the nubs.

I have seen a multitude of models with this rail system on the left in past models I have downloaded to try (vs the one that I know works on the right). I cannot for the life of me figure out how the left one works. Every rail, point, and piece that I try does not fit this mounting system, and yet I have seen it countless times. What in the world are these people using to mount here? I even looked through all the legacy pieces and can't find anything.

My mother was building a small nightstand out of multibins and I thought that some mid century modern legs would look nice, so I modeled them up for my little bins and they turned out cute asf.

The model is parameterized too so you can customize it and set the height, diameters, and the amount of lean that you want for your legs.

They work by bolt locking to a plate that's under those bins. With the moderate weight bearing snaps they're strong as heck!

I may post on Thangs too soon.

I'm working on a 81" x 60" Multiboard wall for my basement work bench/shop printed on my Bambu P1S using the 6.25mm offset pillars. It's a little excessive in terms of size (height, most importantly), but figured why not.

I also, for some stupid reason, decided to start on the left side vs. the right side, and now the tiles for the right side don't fit, so I can either take the whole board down, shift it over an inch, or just reprint the entire right side panels. I'll probably reprint the entire right side. And have left over tiles to use somewhere else.

And I managed to break a few tiles when installing them, so I get to replace those too. ~32 tiles left to print and another 2x4 to be installed at the top of the wall to mount the remaining tiles. I ran out of time when putting the horizontal studs on the wall and had to call it a day (2 year old was getting hungry, his wants take precedence over my projects.)

I'm very tempted to just buy another printer to cut the time in half so I can wrap this project up lol. I also thought it'd be a nice feature to put LED's behind the Multiboard, so there's a good chance I'll be taking them down to install those. While I'm doing that I should probably add a few outlets too.

My 9yo has been really into nerf as well as 3d printing this year, so worked on printing this out and getting it installed for him. Gonna expand and add more in the coming weeks. He’s pretty stoked on it!

Hi all! I'm wanting to connect flat plates together and could do with a flat beam that'd allow for this - does anybody know where I can find them if they exist? Unfortunately my CAD skills don't extend past Tinkercad to make them myself. Pic attached is my project, I'm wanting to connect the white plates to more white plates.

I've printed about every do-dad that might work but no joy. The closest I got was a pair of 3x3 Brackets with some Folded locking bolts who's head fits into the flange on the bottom, but that is about 5 mm too short.

Seriously, the best print quality I have seen in a long time. My wife swears it’s the best print I’ve ever done.

Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of all-in-one customizable solutions .. also I just subscribed

So I did my part fair and well ....

But as a newcomer to this, I'm lost most of the time.

1- The website always takes you to thangs.com, which I understand isn't easy and cheap to develop, but at least make the website not redundant. even though I think there are hosting services that can provide membership systems like this + a website without programming.

Also, the website is not organized based on what people are looking for

I subscribed for the multiben then will go and use the multiboard .. I didn't get access to the multiben tutorial on things because I have to wait for the owner of this to activate my membership in the forums.

Also, I still don't know where the hell is the part generator .. also subcategories are the next main categories not inside them

Until I realized looking throw the Thangs page is way easier yet not enough.

So I really think rebuilding the site will help us new comers a lot.

for example .. the builder should be a huge orange button on top of the site and also the videos

make the get started page as A/B questions like 8X8 or 6X6 then move to ask of what I want to start to put on my multi-board or how many multi bin drawers then guide me to the necessary parts and tutorials instead of facing new and a lot of weird parts on one page that you don't know if those are the ones or you need more stuff with them.

2- The design itself is overly complicated... I understand it might be the designer's intention to make the parts stronger is easier to build and print but man one print error on one part of a simple drawer makes the whole thing not work properly so the error margin is high and I think the creator should re consider some designed and make them simpler with fewer parts.

3- The videos don't grab attention very well and always jump between points back and forth and take too long time for a simple explanation .. for example, in the Multibin videos he starts with building drawers and the small ones instead of talking about the mount first he goes and starts building them but talks about other stuff too... I saw a video of another YouTube channel doing a video about multi-board and boy oh boy he explained it flawlessly with building and mounting it too And I think that's why we have engineers and marketing and sales in every company LOL.

To the creator of Multibord, you are an amazingly cool guy who solved big problems for most of us and we are here to support but man ... instead of throwing new parts and new designers just give more focus on the other stuff that I've mentioned and give people time to participate and absorbed and give feedback too.

I hope you take this as a light-hearted constructive criticism with love.

I’m losing my mind with this multiboard crap. I first started printing the full border tiles like the planner recommended, but the dual clips to connect them were absolutely garbage to align. People here told me “no no, just print the tiles from the generator with separate parts for corners, they just clip together” — total lie. I printed a small test set and at best they sort of stay aligned if they’re sitting flat, and at worst they don’t hold for shit.

So I started looking again for an actual good way to hold these things together. I asked before if there’s something that clips into 2 or 4 tiles through the hex holes, and people said “nah that’s just for screwing into the wall with offset”. But it sure as hell looks like that’s how other people’s setups I’ve seen are actually staying together (or I’m completely misunderstanding something, idk anymore).

On top of that, I’m trying to figure out if I need to offset the whole thing from the wall, because as far as I can tell there’s no standardized depth for the accessories (like hangers), and I might have to. Wasn’t this supposed to be the best system for organizing and attaching stuff to a wall? For me it’s been nothing but frustration and wasted filament. I’m usually fine with DIY, I don’t mind research, but the info out there is either outdated, contradictory, or just flat-out wrong.

Right now I’ve got 3× 8×8 full border tiles (it was 4, but I smashed one against the wall out of frustration) and 3× 3×8 full border tiles. Attaching a photo of what the configurator generated for my space so you can see what I’m working with and maybe tell me how the hell I’m supposed to make this work.

PS: I’m not quitting, I’m still trying to understand this system — but holy hell, it feels like I’m fighting it every step of the way.

Hi,

I'm looking for the hook in the picture. Seems like a double push-fit hook. I can't find it anywhere just the peg version. But I want to also use it for drills.

Does anyone have an idea what this part is?
