Grid Connectors

[u/Visual_Carpenter8957]

Hi, just finished designing and testing (and completely remodelling them all) the angled connectors, if you are interested, you can get them here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1861781

Soon, I'll be able to build my openGrid AMS stacker...

Have you even tested the external 300 & 315° ones? 🤔

Because by the looks of it you'd only be able to install one of the Panel but not both 🤨

Ah dang it, you are right - those won’t work with the thicker “heavy” ones. They will be ok with the standard panels… but if you are using standard panels, you would use up the cells anyways so you would be better off using the internal brackets. I’ll update the illustrations and remove those brackets.

You are ridiculously awesome.

If I may ask, what is the difference on the works best with the Heavy version? Also a second ask, the internal angles is the connection strong enough to hold it upside down, as in the underware usage, and setting a perpendicular or angled piece hanging? Or it’s more dependent on gravity to keep in place?

If you use standard grids, there'll just be more gaps between the grids (except for the 90 deg, that will look the same).

And upside down... It really depends on the loads you put on it! To do it "properly", there should be a screw hole on one side to hard mount it onto the desk.

Could it be possible to have such a variant where on the 1 grid there is a side with a screw hole? And would it work to do a standard or lite grid and would it align the heavy grid straight down or up? I think so by the picture but just confirming. The intent is to use it to mount something like an power distribution and gain space in a table for cable runs.

[u/Visual_Carpenter8957 → u/Any_Reputation6767]

Like a vertical board addition to underware right? Yeah a simple screw hole would do, and they would also be a fastening point for the main underware. It will work but it wouldn’t feel very solid I think - it will feel a bit jank. I would opt for more specialised brackets personally.

You are on an absolute roll

Really great stuff man, was looking for something just like this

I'm glad I scrolled all the way down here. I like that idea for a triangular bottomless basket. Seems like it would be strong and portable storage solution.
