Implementing a paywall "Friction" for 3D prints that enhance convenience, like stacked prints or early release components, is a strategic move to acknowledge and compensate for the effort and time invested, both past and future. Excellent strategy. Bravo on the whole thing.
Super interesting to watch the boards as they print, it looks like the exact shape of each layer is optimized specifically for printing! I print everything in PETG, the stacked prints with ironing are working great so far! I'm turning off ironing on the very top layer to save print time using "Height range modifier"
I’m a little late to the video… I just ordered my first 3d printer… Bambu P1S … I love this system and think you are one of the nicest persons out there! Is it possible to introduce magnets to your amazing system and products
Hi there, Chapters aren't done yet and i'm still plodding along as i get time, What's the licensing like on this for making addons and things that attach to a multiboard? edit: looks like licensing discussion is at 1:25:00 and it's.... well....
Yeah. I'm not worried about Ikea because Ikea can't screw me over, just make their own stuff. I'm worried about Keep Making because Keep Making can screw me over. "Oh, don't worry! This license ensures that Ikea can't copy your stuff! Only *I* can copy your stuff. That's what the license says." yeah, uh, this is not reassuring
I read your comment and went "yeah right..." then I clicked it and can't stop laughing 😂 spot on lol. It's like master chief's soul is in there and it just poked out for a second haha
2mm! I'm not surprised that one guy got spaghetti when trying to print a stack with a 2mm gap between layers. It should be a 0.2mm gap. 2mm might as well be 2 kilometres. :)
So I'm loving the system so far, but where do I go if I need support? I've had a few print failures using my Bambu P1P. As someone who's paid for your product, I go to the website and click support...that's to support you...where is the support for the customers?
Ironing is so slow, even on my P1S. I'm missing why the stack printing? To set and be able to walk away? What's the advantages of stack prints. Also my opinion...though people may not agree is the entire process of the board and it's parts, as far as connecting different parts is getting way over complicated. A universal snap or connector that accepts everything could be highly beneficial for newcomers. I'm newer and I just wanna have some hooks posts as well as bins and drawers....having hell of a time finding all what I need to print lol. It's VERY over whelming in my opinion! I printed starter board but have a pile of parts I don't even need...least I believe I don't need them. Maybe a program to layout a board and it generates an item list or at least a total of what snaps you'll need.
I think a decent solution for newcomers would be a variety of different pre-configured multiboard assemblies 🤔 then everyone could pick one that suits them and try it without printing unnecessary parts
*STACK PRINTING* Correct, that's for bulk walk-away batches of tiles/parts. If (like me) you CBF testing and tweaking to make sure the stack will print and come apart ok, or (also like me) you prefer to have a nice build plate finish on the face of every tile, then one-by-one is the way to go. *COMPLEXITY* The Q&A and Getting Started video go into it a little bit, but I reckon there's a documentation gap worth filling here - a high-level underlying architecture/principles sort of manifesto that nails down the oct/peghole/push/screw/snap hierarchy for beginners. The info is all there but it's currently scattered in part-specific articles across the knowledge hub. As a tech writer, this is honestly a really common trap; you get caught up cataloguing specifications/properties/settings and kind of lose focus on the use cases that tie them all together. I've been guilty of this myself, and I think it's one of those perspective things - when you're on the back end of designing and developing a thing, it just sits in a completely different part of your brain compared to an end user coming at it fresh with no frame of reference. Getting out of your own head and into theirs is a challenge, but it's also the biggest opportunity to add value and really help people. *LAYOUT HELP* As Jonathan mentioned here, a Multiboard Simulator is in the works! In the meantime, the Discord is super active with tons of helpful folk who'll happily give you a hand figuring out what you need, troubleshooting help, and a 'Show & Tell' channel to showcase what everyone else is putting together. Lastly, this whole thing is still super new. Designs are getting tweaked, the community is growing, remixes and add-ons are popping up daily, and more bundles/kits are on the way. The ecosystem will mature and stabilise in due time. For now, it helps to think of MB as less of a finished all-in-one product and more of a construction toy like Lego, Meccano, Lincoln Logs, etc. Once you've wrapped your head around how the types of pieces fit together, the rest becomes easier and you can start getting creative :)

Thanks!
Great work! Found out about Multiboard 3 days ago. The printer has been running non-stop since...
Seriously, I learned about the stack prints and went through a roll of PLA in 3 days

great to hear all the info from the mind behind!

Okay… I’m here for the simulator. How much? Take my money. That’s exactly what all of this needs
I'm curious to see the simulator/layout designer and I think that would be the killer feature that converts a lot of people into supporters.
Which brand/color are you using for the orange filament?
52:52 Wow! That "NO" strangely sounded like something from Jeff Steitzer (Halo announcer voice), lol.
I read your comment and went "yeah right..." then I clicked it and can't stop laughing 😂 spot on lol. It's like master chief's soul is in there and it just poked out for a second haha
Can you release 150mm x 150mm base boards for smaller printers like flashforge adventurer 3?
2mm! I'm not surprised that one guy got spaghetti when trying to print a stack with a 2mm gap between layers. It should be a 0.2mm gap. 2mm might as well be 2 kilometres. :)
How do you support a wider shelf please
Great idea with the photos

New myself but discord seems to be the place :)
I do have a question why do use thangs instead of printables?
Likely for the licensing. All Printables files under CC license. He describes why he isn't using CC license in the video.
btw, that "mini" multiboard concept is missleading af, I thought that everything is scaled down first I downloaded :D

@@Schmogel92 That's an excellent idea too. A layout with a bare board. Than maybe accessory packages is my thought.
