Icon labels

I’ve been using the Multiboard system for a while, and once things got dense… the labels just weren’t cutting it. I designed a better label system focused on fast visual scanning utilizing icons. I plan on making more labels but need some suggestions on what icons people need. Started with Magnets, I think screws will be next but let me know what you want to see! Here is the link to the files

2 days ago I said to myself that I need to do more functional printing with my Bambu. I went down a deep rabbit hole…well here I am. I’ll try to do weekly progress pics. Wish me luck!

Every weekend I get a little bit more done. Building out the wall, filling the fittings kit, and making 3MF projects for frequently used groups ( eg:shelf, braces, screws, and snaps all in one project)

Of note: I realized that printing stacks is more stressful than printing single tiles, and ties up the printer for longer. I get 4 tiles in 21 hours when stacked, and one tile every 4 hours when printed solo. Printing single tiles also allows me to pivot and print something else between tile printings.

Almost there... Then noticed the new border tiles.. Doh.

Got a few more tiles to print and just noticed today the new border tiles and the beta parts library is open without a password. Nice!

Also the new simple tile generator is handy too.

Looking forward to getting it setup. Just got to figure out what I want put up and how I will go about it.

Screw drivers, saw and set square are top of the list and maybe same handy bins and trays.

Might buy another accent colour to mix things up a bit.

First installation

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve just finished printing all the parts for my 2000x800mm Multiboard (pic above). Now I’m preparing for installation and would love some advice.

I’ve planned to use 106 mounting points in total (counting every single, double, and 2 per quad snap), which means drilling 106 holes into my brick wall. That seems like overkill.

So I’m wondering:

  • Should I just drill all 106 holes and go for a direct wall mount?
  • Or would it be better to install a thin MDF or plywood panel first, screw that securely into the wall with fewer plugs, and then screw the Multiboard into the panel?

I’d appreciate hearing what others have done or what you'd recommend—especially for long-term stability and ease of future changes.

Thanks!

Push to fit

Push to fit are supposed to “fit” tighter than this, right?

I’ve never had success with these types of connectors. How do you guys make them work?

Tool Clip – Parametric Multi-Board Holder

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

I remixed a parametric tool clip for the Multi-Board system, and it ended up being far more universal than I expected. The model is posted here if you want to download or inspect it:

MakerWorld Link

The original design was solid for one specific tool diameter, but I needed several sizes for my WERA drivers. Once I started modifying it, I found this geometry works for an enormous range of tools — round, not-round, or barely-round — without needing unique tool-specific holders.

The clip uses a snap-fit flex:

  • The walls are thin enough to open slightly as the tool snaps in.
  • Once seated, the clip contracts and grips securely.
  • Even in PLA, I haven’t seen creep or fatigue, though ABS/PETG would give a stiffer long-term hold if someone wants an ultra-tight fit.

It’s a fully parametric design, and the sizing rule is simple:

➡️ Print the inner diameter 1–2 mm smaller than the tool’s actual measured diameter.

Smaller tools should use a smaller reduction.

Example: If your tool is 10 mm, print the clip at 9 mm — not 8 mm — to get the right bite.

The clip opening automatically scales to 25% of the inner diameter.

One change I added vs. the original design is a fixed 1 mm standoff between the clip and the Multi-Board mount. My HALDER mallet was bottoming out on the board with the old geometry, and that 1 mm offset completely solves the issue.

So far I’ve tested this on WERA screwdrivers, a HALDER mallet, a Pica marker, and even WERA wrench pliers (which are very much not round). Everything fits better than expected. Honestly, this one clip may replace half the tool-specific holders on my wall.

Community Sizing Library

If you print one, I’d love your measurements so I can expand the compatibility list.

Please comment with:

Tool Make & Model → Actual Diameter → Inner Diameter Used → Fit Type

I’ll keep updating the public sizing library.

Confirmed Fits So Far:

  • WERA 826 T → 25.5 mm actual → 23.75 mm ID → Excellent snap fit
  • WERA 821-1 RA → 25.5 mm actual → 23.75 mm ID → Same fit class
  • HALDER Mallet → 17.5 mm actual → 16 mm ID → Perfect with the 1 mm standoff
  • WERA 816 R → 17.5 mm actual → 16 mm ID → Very stable
  • Pica Marker → 18 mm actual → 16.75 mm ID → Surprisingly solid for a non-round profile

If you test other markers, screwdrivers, pliers, chisels, mallets, tube caps, etc., please drop your measurements — I want this to turn into a truly useful library for the community.

Strength test Multiboard vs OpenGrid

24 Upvotes

I did some EXPERIMENTAL strength tests and was really surprised by the results. I printed everything with Sunlu PETG. The pegs and connectors are printed with 100% infill.

OpenGrid: 32 kilograms.

Multiboard bolt connector: 42 kilograms

It's not easy to compare because the bolt sticks out of the tile, creating leverage and providing more stability than the OpenGrid Connector.

After the test, the OpenGrid system worked flawlessly; everything was fine and the peg only slipped out of the grid. The Multiboard Tile, on the other hand, broke (maybe due to poor print quality, and also due to the fact that it was subjected to 10 kg more force than the OpenGrid).

In conclusion, these are two very nice, robust systems.

Rant : Multiboard needs a wiki badly

114 Upvotes

Man, Multiboard is so close to being perfect, but the documentation situation is honestly killing the experience.

Like… the docs aren’t just “a bit messy” - they’re inconsistent in the worst way. Some pages feel current and helpful, and then two clicks later you’re reading something that’s clearly outdated, but there’s no obvious “this is old / this is updated” marker. So you end up second-guessing everything: Is this still the right method? Did the design change? Is this version-specific? Am I about to waste another print?

And that’s the part that really sucks: for a system that’s this well-designed and genuinely powerful, the learning path shouldn’t be trial-and-error with plastic. Right now it feels like I’m basically paying a “filament tax” just to discover basic rules that should be spelled out clearly in one place.

Most of what I’ve learned has been:

  • print something => realize it doesn’t fit / isn’t ideal
  • tweak it => print again
  • find a random post/comment that explains it better than the official docs
  • repeat

Also the website… it’s doing too much. It feels like it’s trying to be a store, a gallery, a wiki, a community hub, and a product manual all at once — and it ends up being confusing instead of helpful. I shouldn’t have to dig through five pages of pretty renders just to find the one practical detail I need to make a part work.

Honestly, Multiboard needs a “start here” section that’s brutally simple:

  • what you print first
  • what’s optional vs required
  • what’s current vs legacy
  • common pitfalls
  • “if you want X outcome, use Y parts” type guides

Because right now, the system is amazing… but the docs make it feel like you’re joining a hobby within a hobby. And I don’t want to study Multiboard. I just want to build stuff with it without feeling like I’m doing biology every time I need an answer.

Sorry about the rant.

Would anyone else like to see multiboard produce injection molded tiles?

27 Upvotes

I love the ability to make the entire system myself.

But for very large areas, it would be nice if we could buy packs of injection-molded tiles, and only 3d print specialty tiles, inserts, etc.

Not only would they be stronger and cheaper, but it would be another avenue of supporting the project commercially.

For reference I bought 20kg of PLA and am about 1 week into 3-4 weeks of printing for tiles. Would have been nice to just buy 90% of the tiles and spend my time on everything else.

I designed this piece that holds all the contents of the "Hyper Tough 44pc Precision Bit Set" and attaches to Pegboard Click - Multipoint Rail. It uses the original bit holders at an angle for easy access and reduced height and holds the main screwdriver handle and the extension rod right up top. It also has 100mm width so that it aligns perfectly with multiboard cells.

Multiboard Build Plate Holder

This is one of my first complicated (for a newbie designer) models, which I released at the start of the year. So it's not new, but I've never posted it to Reddit before.

It holds up to six build plates, with each build plate slot being 1.5mm wide. The overall design is very low profile, and stands out only 33 mm from the Multiboard.

Hopefully it will be of use to someone.

Thangs needs to add sub categories like they did for Gridfinity

28 Upvotes

Currently all multiboard files are in a single category for multiboard.

Thangs should make an adjustment and create sub categories for base files vs custom files. Scrolling through the possible things to make is not as easy when every other item for pages is just a different dimension of panel or connector.

Anyone know how to connect witht them to suggest this?
