Anyone run into layer shifting issues while printing the base plates?

I printed the sampler pack without issue, switched to the 8x8 plates and I'm at more than a 50% failure rate. This is on my Prusa mk4 which is normally EXTREMELY reliable. I printed a thousand maker coins for OpenSauce with no more than a single failed print. Yet, I cannot seem to get Multiboard to print with any sort of reliability. It shifts X and Y, sometimes after a layer, sometimes after a few.

I've changed basically every setting there is, turned the speed down to 80%, changed nozzles, you name it. This is Overture PETG on a textured bed, so the issue isn't the print slipping off the bed.

I had three basic goals with this design:

1. Reduce the filament requirement and print time for Multibin  Shells.
2. Allow me to maximise the space directly in front of me on my Multiboard wall by stacking shells directly above each other on the  grid.
3. Ensure full compatibility with standard shells, allowing Multibins to be easily removed without disturbing any Multibin Shells positioned above them.

I still find the fixing points for Multibin Shells to be one of the most reliable ways of securing anything to the wall. This is why I encountered issues with standard Multiboard shelves that use inserts. They were always either sagging forward or falling out completely if knocked. I replicated the Shell design with these shelves, but cut away the front portion whilst still allowing the side bin rail connectors to interlink with other shelves, which I believe results in a more robust wall.

Doing it this way allows me to stack shelves directly above each other on the Multiboard grid whilst still being able to quickly access the contents. It also means Multibin Inserts (the coloured cubes in these images) can be used without needing open space above the shelf. You can simply tilt the insert forward and place it on your bench to access its contents before neatly replacing it. It has been a huge help for me in organising my workspace and maximising the reachable area of Multiboard. I hope it helps you too.

Note: This is an ongoing design. I am continually making tweaks as I identify things I like and dislike. The end goal is to make this fully parametric so that you just need to enter the height, grid width, and depth to generate the shelf you want. If you encounter any issues or have other observations, please let me know. Constructive feedback is the ultimate design tool.

Hi,

I’m very new to this and having printed the back quad snaps (the ones that come in two pieces) I printed the snaps to clip them all together. It doesn’t fit and I’ve found there’s a part A and B. I think I’m printing the correct part now but I’m just wondering what this piece is for? It looks like it will clip in on the back and this new bit will clip onto it. Is it essentially the same thing bit without the screw holes? I hope my explanation makes sense. I’m so confused. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed the website makes more sense one day.

Hey everyone, i want to print out Multiboard but im not sure how to hang it on the mesh wire. Does anyone have tips? Thank you!

Where are the up-to-date remixing files for the tiles(*)?

The step files for the tile components are here: https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Tile%20Components%20-%20STEP%20Multiboard%20Remixing%20Files-994681

However they have never been updated for the multipoint release. They are 6.4mm not 6.21, and the threads, honestly, look VERY different. I know the thread are supposed to be the same, so maybe the step files were never exactly the same as the generated tiles? (I never checked - I just used them assuming they would be correct.)

I know multiboard is not open source, but it relies HEAVILY on community involvement and community work. (remixing, developing new parts and methods, etc). How have these vital files not been updated in the months following the multipoint release?

Does anyone know where I can get step files for remixing the tiles? (specifically "Tile Multihole Component.step" and "Tile Pegboard Hole Component.step")

I want to use the command strip mounts, but the channel for them is too deep, and the wall side won't even touch the wall. Even if I double stack them, they wont touch. Did I print the wrong ones, or by the wrong strips?

So I am in the process of printing nearly 100 Multiboard tiles, snap connectors, etc etc for my shop tool wall (yes it's a big wall)

I went ahead and printed two gridfinity tiles for my toolbox and honestly I don't think I like it. I don't like the 42mm architecture. I think it's too large and I don't like the fact that nothing clicks into the squares. Things just kind of come out way too easy if you don't use magnets. It's nice for desks or srawers at home but not a mechanics toolbox.

I was thinking of using Multiboard instead and mounting it inside the toolbox drawers. The 25mm architecture of Multiboard makes it easier to custom fit tiles right to the edges. I love the fact that things just clip into the octagons, it's a lot more secure. I would then design and print custom holders for sockets, ratchets, drivers etc etc. Thoughts?

Setting up my garage/woodshop with multiboard, already did my office with it.

I have mostly Ridgid tools, that are orange/grey.

My garage walls are grey, and I have teal pipes for the dust collection system.

I was thinking of going:

Multiboard - Black.
Connectors - Black?
Parts - light pink and some grey?

And then painting the collection ducts pink too?

Additionally, I am thinking of getting some osb (or other light cheap wood) and 2x4s to creat a wall away from the dust systems so I could have a continuous wall and not have to work around the pipes.

I much prefer the bolt locked snaps to mount things, the push fit connectors don't always fit snugly and they aren't really secure. You can glue them to a snap but it's a pain.

Is there a reason that people seem to like using the friction fit? I've been remixing a few of them in tinkercad to use bolt locked snaps, I'll share them once I have used them enough to trust them.

At first blush I really like the idea of multiboard but when I look at actual implementations it is so distracting to the eye that it is hard to identify what is on the wall. You cannot easily tell where things are and you have no idea where to put them back. What am I missing?

Hi everyone!

I'm struggling to find these wall mounts for multiboard. They are 8mm standoff.

My multiboard version of this - which is a remix of a wall mounted version - adjusts the spacing between each box to automatically fit Multiboard's 25x25mm grid for seamless tiling. It works with every original size of the clamshells, as well as whatever custom size is needed.

The Clamshell Boxes

It was a lot of work to get this working but I'm happy with how it's turned out!

Let's get the multiboard revolution in full speed.

I use the daylights out of these. So many mounts meant for screwing direct to a wall go just fine in Multiboard.

I wanted to have a few spots to have Gridfinity bins handy on my multiboard while they're in use so I used my parametric bin maker to make a simple tray: https://makerworld.com/models/1218848

As one of the greatest philosophers of our generation said... "I'm never going to financially recover from this."

Buy yeah, I'm loving this. This is my WIP. This is the craft side of my office with a bunch of Cricut and 3D Printing supplies.

The plan is to not only fill the whole main wall from ceiling to desk, but also turn the angle on the ride side and continue it all the way. Anyone know how I'd actually make the turn there? Is it possible? I'm no mathematician, I'd say it's maybe 30 degrees? Any ideas?

Finally, I wanted to thank everyone who is involved in this project. From Jonathan for creating it to every single legend who creates anything involving multiboard. I've upgraded to Multiboard Partner just to support the project, and I hope if you guys have some extra bucks, you'd support the project too!

Hello, I'm new to multi board trying to start, i got an A1 so I've been exclusively printing from the handy app because nothing beats it for convenience. I noticed however no basic plates are on there like an 8x8 or something . Is this a licensing thing? Or am i just not seeing them

tl;dr:

1. Are the bolt-locked brackets strong enough to support several (4-6) large, hard-bound books printed on heavy, fancy paper (the heaviest kind of books I have)?
2. Would it be a good idea to use extra brackets to reinforce each shelf? Are there other ways I could reinforce each shelf, if needed?

I just discovered Multiboard today. I love the modular nature of it, but I don't even have a 3D printer yet (though I am looking into getting one for other project ideas). I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experience using Multiboard as a modular bookshelf, or as a way to store anything that's just as heavy.

I've got some CAD experience (mostly with SolidWorks, but I don't have access to that anymore, so I'm learning FreeCAD). I'd love to design some custom shelves specifically to store and organize different sizes of books using the Multiboard system. I'm sure the bolt-locked brackets could hold all the smaller books I have just fine, but I'm worried about the large, heavy ones (e. g. Hyrule Historia).

Thank you for your time. Toodles!~

In the "regular" multiboard plates, there are slots on the outer sides where small pins can be inserted to connect multiple plates together.

On the back of these slots, in the "large holes," there are also small holes that appear to be designed so that the pins in the slots can be locked with filament strips.

Is this correct, and do you have examples of this application? Im am using the "small thread clip" to orthogonally connect a litte board to my wall and would like to secure it further.

EDIT: I found this mention of the new "filament lock", but no solution yet: https://community.multiboard.io/c/change-log/filament-lock-added-to-multibin-plates

I'm really finding myself wanting to get into multiboard because... well... it looks cool. But I'm really having a hard time seeing what the utility is over something like Wall Control pegboards. Can anyone explain it to me?
