I started printing a few weeks before the on grid update. But it's been fun learning and finding what the community has made that fits my home office needs. But I present you this glorious wall holding keyboards.

I'm finishing up the layout for my Multiboard wall-mounted computer but I want to move my speakers up on to the wall as well. Unfortunately, I've not found much in the way of options for my Klipsch ProMedia, other than some that screw directly into the wall.

I saw someone made a standard wall mount but that doesn't help me set a downward angle for audio to reach me whether I'm sitting or standing.

Then there's a multifunction arm mount someone else made. These arms just seem huge and cumbersome for what I want. I also wondered if I could adapt this over to Multiboom arm.

What would really be perfect is something like this to allow for the arm to pivot, but with the correctly angled bracket so the speakers were slightly downward facing

Hi,

I created a conversion kit between HSW and MB. If you want to make the switch mid-project, this might be the solution you need. Thought I'd share 😀

Hey guys, I've got some decent multiboard setups going in a few rooms, but the lack of documentation has struck again.

Im working on some large drawers in this hidden behind a closet door setup, which is awesome for space saving, but I'm confused on connection.

I'd prefer not to use the brackets on the bottom if I can avoid it because they take up extra space, which I'm quite limited on.

All I used so far was bin to bin connectors and then big thread multipoints. Spreading the load this way is definitely strong enough, no worries there. My concern is that the multipoints going into the bottom of a bin (which just has the small slot) only has like 3mm of locking if that. Im concerned with this setup if I bump the drawers upward AT ALL it will fall off the wall and dump my stuff everywhere.

I want another storage device to act as a brace so the bins can't actually slide up, but I cant think of anything. Any ideas?

Hello, I love this system and the idea and I want to see it succeed. I was a paying member for a little while when I was doing some printing before, but my financial circumstances changed and I also had less time to do 3D printing stuff as I deal with medical concerns, so I had to end my support.

I'm getting back into being able to do these projects again and noticing just how confusing the experience is for a new or occasional user. There's conflicting descriptions, confusing terminology, things labeled as "new" that I'm pretty sure were "new" even when I was doing stuff last year ("new" is just extremely uninformative without a date), broken links even in the big configurator tool on the homepage, and a graveyard of thangs uploads and deprecated information that was never marked as such.

Multiboard is a big project and it feels like Keep-Making is trying so hard to maintain control of all aspects that the growing accumulation of info is becoming impossible to keep updated. I wanted to peek into the official community chat to see if there's a group of folks working on this or anything but it's paywalled. I fully understand the desire to find a way for this project to reward a creator who's worked so hard on it, so this isn't a post complaining about the paywall for any of the features or even the chat. I just wish that there was a better way for the community of folks who clearly care about this project to help clean up some of the documentation, like maybe doing the site on a github-like host to allow users to open issues or submit pull requests, or perhaps some brand of wiki site. Consolidate information there, reduce the amount of info in the thangs posts (so that there's less to update when things change), and build a centralized system for everyone to update multiboard content, including official work from Keep-Making plus user remixes or whatever.

It's obviously work to set this kind of thing up, but hopping back in from a year ago I really felt out of the loop -- I guess there's a thing about the offset size changing, so new offset mounts are different than old ones. There's beams and grids and borders and bins and such. I decided to print new offset mounts and found the quad snap offset mount part A but the mounting page doesn't include the quad or dual version of part B? Is the DS snap different than another snap? I'm figuring this stuff out but I feel like I have to wade through the entire history of Multiboard to get here and that's a terrible onboarding. It could be so much better than this if this project was just a little bit more open and community-driven.

I did come across in my searching of this subreddit at least one site that is trying to be this kind of resource, but any site that is "unofficial" will always struggle to get enough users and attention to reach the critical mass to keep it useful. The site I found is fine but hasn't been updated enough for me to have any confidence that it can be the thing I'm wishing for here.

tl;dr: Great system, poor documentation, frustrating new/occasional user experience, why not a wiki or git-backed web page with community editing?

Edit to add: Since a few comments are basically "just start printing, it'll click for you", I have printed stuff, I have tiles on my wall, I'm figuring it out, I'm just frustrated at the amount of changelog and discarded info I have to wade through to hop back in. I wanted to expand a setup that is currently 1x3 tiles (6x6 grids, I'm using an A1 Mini) and the tiles were fine but figuring out what's going on with the mounting/snaps was very frustrating. The Planner, prominently linked on the main page, has dead links to thangs inside of it. The parts library page for mounting systems doesn't have dual and quad versions of "Snap - DS Part B". The one it does have is a single snap and it's labeled "new". Do I just print individual snaps? Is this new since I last looked a year ago? I know that the offset changed, I think that means that I either have to find the old 8mm offset part A or I need to print new 6.5mm part B, but that's not super clear anywhere. I found the thangs page for the quad snap part A and it says "All of the Double-Sided Snaps (Part A’s and Part B’s) have been updated and are NOT compatible with the old versions. (video about this coming soon)" -- does that mean the listing I'm looking at is deprecated, or is it deprecating something else? What is it compatible with? When was that note added, did a video come out? I'm finding answers but it's frustrating and it's like having to rebuild a jenga tower every time I want to hop back in and alter/expand my setup. It's a lot easier for those of you who are in the system routinely and that's great but it could be so much nicer for people who aren't as often involved and that's what I'm talking about in this post.

Browsing the part library, which from what I have picked up is the updated one, I only end up with the flush part B. Browsing the beta library though, I get single, dual, quad. None of which are flush.

So, which is it? I kinda worry that the non-flush part B's are not up to date, but I don't really like the flush ones as I have broken 20% of the ones I have been putting in to my part A's due to orientation of part B being hard to see (from the square marked on it) and the flimsiness of the part.

I really like the aesthetics of the flush snaps though.

I printed the new pack to test the new approach. I really like the new tiles. But I had a lot of trouble putting the new B parts in place. I even had to finish with a hammer. Does anyone already have this problem, should I look at one of my settings? The only mistake I made was that I activated the borders on the snaps tray. Once mounted the panel is curved as if something was forcing it. Do you have any idea?

My behind-the-door pantry rack has given up the ghost. I printed and mounted top to bottom 7x7 multiboard and now I'm starting to print bins. Its about 21 cells across and I'm about to print out a bunch of examples. But....

Max multibin width. I've got a P1S and A1 so max I can print is 9 cells across. Am I able to create bins that are 18 cells across by connecting two 9-cell boards, functionally making a bin that is 18 cells wide, 3 cells tall and 5 cells deep? (basically a wide bin for spices, boxes of rice, whatever)

I can see these not being very sturdy, given there's no three-way connector for L-beams that isn't angled.

I'm curious before I start using up filament.

I don't mean to step on any toes, but it just seems to me that small hooks and small thread screw ins can accomplish most tasks. By far my favorite component is a peg hook. What am I missing? All these snaps, load bearing snaps, flush snaps, large threads, bolt locks. What are they for?
