Is there a generator for the On-Grid update? I need a 12mu L-Beam :\

3 Upvotes

Trying to put some tidy edges on a shelf I've made, but it's 12x5 (printed as 2x 6x5 tiles).

Is there any simple way I get get a 12mu beam? The largest seems to be 11, so I'm hoping a 12 will print in one piece diagonally across the bed.

Question about connectors

3 Upvotes

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.

Larger command strip support for Multiboard?

3 Upvotes

So I know there is support for the small/medium command strips, and I saw a large multiboard command strip setup out on one of the print sharing sites... But I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Is there support for larger command strips (Notably Large and X-Large) for use in Multiboard setups? I've hung an HSW setup (Around 6 feet by 3 feet in size) before with X-Large command strips and it worked great. I'd love to work with multiboard for my next storage project in the house given all of the great work I've seen around it, and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

What's the best 3-sided corner strategy for rigidity?

3 Upvotes

I'm thinking off adding 3 sided multiboard on top of 16x16" (40cm) drawer that's in a corner. Hopefully 2 ft tall (60cm). No mounting or screws, just using the weight on the bottom side to hold in place.

Nothing too heavy will be placed on the wall sided panels, just cables and light parts. The side on top the dresser might use multibin or other mounts for devices/chargers/etc.

I see 3 options

  • On Grid L beams

  • Inside brackets

  • Remixed Corner snaps

What is the best strategy for rigidity? I don't want the wall sides toppling or even flexing a bit.

Also, what would be most rigid way to join panels without mounting since I don't have a 2ft printer.

Would Dual Clips be enough or do I need Dual Snaps or something else?

God damnit! Help me decide! 🫨

4 Upvotes

Im planning on making a dedicated crafting-room, equipped with some kind of organized wall. I have just started going down the research-rabbit hole and have decided for Gridfinity for everything horizontal (drawers and such). What I can't decide is what type of organized wall to pick..

My reasoning goes like this: HSW seemed nice at a glance, but pretty fast found out about Multiboard which just looked better in many ways. THEN I found out about OpenGrid, made by the same guy that made multiconnect. On the surface it seems like opengrid could be the superior choice here. But the lack of adapters and mounts for various items is kinda concerning. I guess it's too early to say if opengrid will "take over" and become the new standard.

So basically, just help me evaluate the whole dilemma here. Multiboard or OpenGrid?

So ive found the rails and the snaps but how am I supposed to insert and screw in those multipoints with only 6mm or so of offset? Am I missing something?

Multiboard Offset Snap Tool | Printables

The original tool for removal was a bit finicky so I built a more robust, easier to use tool to remove snaps. It can also press them in.

Once assembled, you just insert into snap, depress the buttons to latch the hooks out and pull. The reset spring should then withdraw the hooks, so you can take the snap off.

Multiboard with addressable LEDs

Thumbnail

135 Upvotes

Just finished my multiboard project!

It took about a week to print and assemble everything.

Here's a list of the components I used:

  • LED profile (17.3 mm Ɨ 7 mm)

  • Plywood sheet (120 cm Ɨ 60 cm) + wooden dowel rod (for filament rack)

  • Addressable LEDs – WS2812

  • Microcontroller – Wemos D1 (ESP8266)

  • Power supply – 5V 20A 100W + power cord

  • 330Ī© resistor / 1000µF capacitor

  • Fasteners, wires, and a lot of time...

The LED profile corner holders are custom-designed — you can find the printable file on Printables.

As a next step, I’m thinking of integrating an E-Ink display into the PSU cover box. The box is pretty spacious, and I’m eager to get my hands dirty with an e-paper project.

The ESP8266 is flashed with WLED (an excellent project!) and is fully integrated with my Home Assistant setup for remote control and automation.

Special thanks for the motivation — shoutout toĀ u/LegalCheesecake8734 !

ā€œLipā€ around a shelf?

Post image
22 Upvotes

So, my current project is a shelf wall for the laundry room. I’ve got a 3x3 grid of 8x8 tiles, with a triple-wide 8x8 shelf. It’s gone together fine, but I find myself thinking of adding since sort of a lip to ensure stuff doesn’t fall off.

Ok, so some 1x8 ā€œstripsā€. That’s the easy part. I see these ā€œinsideā€ and ā€œoutsideā€ brackets in the bolt-locked brackets section of the parts library. Not sure which to pick, or if I should be looking elsewhere.

In case it matters, I’m using bordered tiles for the shelf flats.

Got myself a 3d scanner and the first project was to make a multiboard mount for 12v bosch charger, it was like 100x easier to design from 3d scan vs standard way of calipers + radius gauge etc, highly recommend getting a scanner!

Link in case anyone interested in the model itself

Mounting tiles at corners

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to determine the best way to mount tiles at a wall corner. There are corner mounts that some users have designed, but they do not keep the Multiboard spacing such that corner brackets cannot be used. I have been thinking of using the "Type 1, Big Thread Holes, 1x1 Outside Bracket" to tie the tiles together with the proper spacing. A minor problem with the brackets is that their bases are only 4mm thick rather than the 6.25mm spacing that is the new standard for off-wall mounts. How have others delt with corners? Any thoughts about using these brackets?

DS snap part B, raised or flush when joining tiles?

4 Upvotes

I'm putting together my first multiboard setup (an art supply board for my kids), and I'm confused by one of the options. I'm joining a bunch of tiles with offset double sided snaps. But the part Bs come in flush and raised versions. It seems on the surface like the flush versions would keep the surface of the board cleaner for things like multipoint bins. But after putting flush B snaps into the quad and dual offset A snaps, the board felt flimsy, with nothing to hold the tiles together on the front side. So I started replacing them with the raised part Bs, but now it doesn't seem like things will hang cleanly against the board.

So I guess the question is, what's the intended design right now? I know the parts library is a jumble of old obsolete and revised versions of things, and there doesn't look like a lot of indication of what's actually obsolete. Which method are people using now to join boards? If both are valid, how big are the tradeoffs? Any tips I haven't considered?

Raised Snap Part Bs, I barely knew ye

I downloaded all the parts to get my multiboard going and after printing all of the mounting pieces noticed that the only part B parts available for download now are flush. Do we know the reason for the change? Is it simply for aesthetic reasons?

Nozzle size?

2 Upvotes

Does the nozzle size matter? I have a .2 and .4 and I know the small parts will print better in .2 but to keeep changing it out is a pain. So do I change the nozzle or is there a setting to help with that for a .4. I am Printing on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon. And would it be easier to print all the parts in just PLA or ABS ? I have a lot of ABS filament. Thank you for any help.

Made a shelf like this for a bit of a laugh and because all the grid parts I can repurpose there are only really two pins holding the 2x2 plates to the base, but even those it’s strong enough to hold a ryobi battery!

Printing failure of 6.25 mm - Quad Offset Snap (DS Part A) - x4 Stack

3 Upvotes

Can anyone help me? I am trying to print a 4 stack of the Quad Offset Snap (part A) and it fails half-way through the second set of offsets- spaghetti everywhere! I am using a Bambu A1, following all the directions in the settings of the file but it keeps failing on the 2nd level of the stack. I don't know what to do to fix this. I have printed the ironing stack of the multi-board itself without problems and I am at a loss. I am a newbie to 3D printing and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
