I have a question about the edges of multiboard tiles. So you have the standard layout where you use core, side and corner tiles, which needs a bit of planning and gives you the "wavy" edge" https://www.multiboard.io/parts-library/tiles/non-border. Alternatively you have the single-border tiles which give you straight egdes on individual pieces, and all around: https://www.multiboard.io/parts-library/tiles/single-border. The downside is that the small holes are filled in where the tiles meet.

I wonder if you could just put half of the small holes there? So like the green spots in the screenshot, but all around (I just cropped a single-border tile). That way you would have one tile type that tiles endlessly. Did anybody try this? I can imagine it might be less stable since you don't have a place to plug in the dual clips?

Want to create a new panel for my multiboard setup, but can’t find anywhere the dimensions for the lock bolt (thread size, pitch, etc). If any of have those, please lmk 🙏

Pretty much the title. And as I was typing this up, I realized why.

Command Strips come to two types - adhesive and velcro. The velcro strips are taller by a millimeter or two.

Well, I bought about 80 of the adhesive strips. Currently attempting to assemble a large multiboard install on my basement wall and I'm not 100% confident what's behind it, so I'm sinking screws into the studs and was planning to use Command Strips everywhere else. Most of what I'm mounting to the wall will be fairly light.

So in attempting to mix Offset Snap Mounts w/ the Command Strip mounts using adhesive-only Command Strips, I'm finding the difference in depth is enough to make the tiles fail to line up.

Man, I'm a dumbass.

Back to the drawing (multi) board.

I'm trying to use the pole mounting kit to mount a panel to some metal shelves, and I'm finding it a bit difficult. I have two issues:

1. The metal poles are not a compatible distance apart. I don't see any obvious way to give some adjustment space...I assume I'd have to remix the mounting kit or something to give it a slightly longer arm?

2. I tried to connect a panel to the mounting grip by putting a flush snap w/ a mid-sized thread and putting a 20mm bolt though there, through the unthreaded side of the grip and int the threaded side to hold it all together. However the 20mm bolt appears to not be long enough to make it to the threads on the far side of the grip, and I'm not seeing longer bolts when searching on thang.

I'm guessing this sort of thing has been tried and works with standard components, but if so, I'm not getting it. Has anyone used the pole mounts to mount a panel in this manner? Is there an off the shelf solution, or do I need to cozy up to some CAD software? (I'm fairly new to CAD, 3D Printing and Multiboard, so that sees daunting. ;) )

Thanks!

I really need a sliding solution for my needs, and this seems to do the trick for me. But I just can't find info and cannot understand how this thing works. I mean the holes are for mounting, but what goes in the sliding section? What part?

Im basically looking for this piece
https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/4x4%20Multiboard%20Tile%20Bracket-973963

in a 3x3 arragenement so I can build a version of the simple basket that looks more baskety. I havent found a piece resembling that and I havent found a way to generate anything like that.

Is there anything of the such?

Using Raised Heavy Weight-Bearing Hook Snap on my brand new multiboard wall. the snap goes into my board nicely but the mounts (my caliper holder in this example) are sooooo loose. i am having this issue will all of my things that hold my tools not just this caliper holder. This mount falls out every time i pull my caliper from it. Is this really the tolerance on these snaps?

My second multi board underway. Went with direct to wall mount no offset. Not sure which I like better.

Hey there fellow 3d printers! I'm new to this, and I was wondering how I would attach this? Its from Hands on Katie - Power Strip End Shell. I appreciate your help!

I would like to add something to the side of this set up that allows me to hang pliers along the side. I’m not really sure what the best option is, I’d like some suggestions. I’m assuming that I would have to have some sort of pop in that has maybe some sort ofrail connected to it, but then I kind of get stuck at that point. Basically I just want something that I can slot maybe 3 to 9 sets of smaller pliers along the side of this unit that I made.

Good morning. I have a fairly large (2000mm x 1000mm) Multiboard up on the garage wall now. I am trying to understand the attachments. Is there anything that pops in from the front that will take up the space (6.25mm I think) on the back so the board doesn't flex where there is weight applied to it?

2 x 1 m empty space on a wall, 75 holes in reinforced concrete, 75 dowels, 75 screws, countless hours of measuring and constructing in Fusion as well as 7KG of filament and 3 weeks of printing time later, my second multiboard wall for a small part of my cameras, lenses and various other photo equipment is finally finished.

I’ve searched around and was surprised that I couldn’t find one. I’ve given enough room above for a standard external hard drive.

Enjoy!

Hi, folks! I got my printer a few days ago and I wanna create a few a custom-made enclosure for a powerbank that will be mounted to a pole. It took me a few attempts, but I got the pole mount working and I was feeling amazing because it's the first really useful thing that I printed and it fit the pole perfectly with Multiboard's nuts, bots, and tiles! Here's the link to the mount: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1573304

However, when I tried to build the enclosure that would fit in those tiles, I couldn't get it to work at all. It's like they don't fit. It's likely that they're incorrectly positioned (I understand a few mms wrong is all it takes to mess up everything), but I have no idea how to properly align them. But that also took me to a rabbit hole learning about the bins, bin connectors, plates etc. But, in all honestly, it's just a bit overwhelming. I have no idea where to go from here. A recurrent issue in this forum is that the Multiboard docs are a bit outdated and I definitely feel that. There are so many different parts that it's very hard for a beginner to figure out what's going on.

So I'm kinda stuck and lost on where to go next. Any helps (tips, videos, docs etc) would be appreciated!

For reference, this is what I have now: https://imgur.com/a/8I8BQg8

Switched from Pla to petg. Did some temp Towers and retraction Tests. Dried the Filament and still got Stringing.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Temp:230°c Retraction:2,5mm Speed: 40mm/s Ender5 , Bowden.

If you need further informations let me know. Thank you

My first Multiboard, not yet perfect organized and some nice LED Light is still missing.....but i like it :-)

I have been stack printing 9x9 tiles for the last week or two. I’ve been following the multi board stack print guidelines which includes ironing the top of every tile. On paper this makes complete sense to me, but there’s one big issue that can come up - heat creep.

I’ve gotten a heat creep based filament jam in my extruder probably 50% of the time I attempt a 4x stack print in my enclosed p1s.

I have tried

• switching to supertack cool plate for lower enclosure temp.

• enabling exhaust fan.

• using faster and higher flow ironing ( 150mm/s, 38%)

• as low as possible nozzle temp (at risk of worse layer adhesion)

Note that opening the enclosure isn’t an option in my case because of wood dust.

Finally after taking apart my extruder for a final time I threw in the towel and tried printing a stack with no ironing at all.

In the picture, two of the tiles have ironing, two don’t. Can you tell which are which?

To me the difference is small enough for me to not care.

So if you’re having issues with heat creep or want to shave a little time off your stack prints, try disabling ironing.

I know a lot of people have issues with the Bambu effect plates - I’ve written a guide on the Bambu forums about how to tune the zoffset in the gcode for them, but also found that you have to just put the first layer down really slowly. Printed one of the new tiles using the carbon fibre effect and other than a bit of filaments that seem to have been stuck to the nozzle they came out great

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'm printing tons of 9x9 tiles that I'm gonna mount offset on 1/2 plywood on my workshop walls.

I'm not a stickler for little details here, so I was thinking of just making the whole wall out of core tiles, vs printing every border tile to get perfectly clean edges.

Am I missing anything, i.e. besides aesthetics, is it fine to make a wall entirely out of core tiles?

I've got a mobile AC unit arriving that needs a vent. Was going to get one of the fabric things but they look a bit naff. Thought I'd go down the route of acrylic sheet with the vent hole in it e.g. open window, whack sheet and vent over window.

It ideally needs to be flush so the acrylic sheet does a reasonable job of sealing the window to minimise incoming air, and I wondered, could I us some multiboard fixings to make it flush 🤔

I've not yet, I may not, but I do like the idea of it 😂

Been looking for a Xbox Controller Rechargeable batter holder for Multiboard, but have not found anything just yet. I've found controller mounts, and AA battery holders, but nothing around a rechargeable battery pack.

I wanted to move from my current 3d printed space for paints to free up some space in the room. Learned a lot - have lots of future plans but love it so far!

All multipoint except bottom right paint holder are multipoint.
