This video is an updated version of the orginal as the Key Mounting system has been updated. Yes youtube will not be happy about this but it would mean the world to me if you left it running in the background and gave it a like and or a comment here is a little update video of the change too: th-cam.com/video/D6QzwYYZiBE/w-d-xo.html
It might be easier for folks to follow if there were color coordination on the different parts used for the demo, rather than having them all be the same color. Just a thought.
It's good that they can only snap together one way, on part A the square is visible if you hold just right in the light, part B it is all but invisible. I didn't realize there was a size difference in the ears that would make it only fit in one orientation at first, so when I printed the B parts before I removed them from the bed I looked at the image in the slicer to see where the squares were and marked those spots with a sharpie. I was initially under the impression that this system would accept other systems like honeycomb or gridfinity directly, but the only system other than multiboard that is a direct fit is 1/4" x 1" oc pegboard. Still looks like a good system, I'll use this for vertical storage and gridfinity for horizontal storage.
i dont have a lot of expendable money. i have like $200/mo to play around with and most of it is spent on RC jet or printer parts, but i will donate to you. i dont patreon, superlike, etc, but if i fell that its worth donating, i will, out of respect. ill get you $20 as soon as i finish this project. thanks a ton for this. this and gridfinity took my lab to the next level.
Just finished hanging up the mini multiboard in my son's room. Great way to learn the basics. Feels like I still have so much to learn but I'll get there. It's like playing with Lego! Keep up the great work!
One thing I don't understand / appreciate after watching the video is what the threads are for.... I just thread into a push fit and, so what? Same with the tbolt. I presume there are accessories that require a thread or tbolt in order to secure them. That in itself is a bit confusing because it all seems to push fit incredibly tightly.
I know this all new and everything but...I find the layout of the site kinda difficult to comprehend. I'm 39 years old for context. When I look at the guide lines page...you will need...these things...and then a list ensues...please make that list, clickable links...like, ok, so you're telling me I need this and this and this...give me links so I don't have to remember what those things were or open a new page to search those items. ya dig?
this was really helpful, i actually understand now how awesome this multiboard is. i wish i had my own house and i would put that all over the walls :D
Been making parts since last week. PLA not a mis print yet. Love that everything has threads as it allows rotation and various heights. If you did this all in Blender then its capabilities are grand. the discord "show and tell" is already out of control (as in too much to look at). If rating 1 to 5 then these gets a 6. Best of luck.
Can you use core tiles for everything but a long the top and right side, and corne tiles? Other than none rectangular layouts, what advantage is there to printing top and side boards?
My question exactly. PETG is more flexible for when you clip parts together but if the grid walls are thick enough PLA might hold it very well. Currently you can find some PETG spools for cheap.
Idk if im just dumb but the standard click hooks dont work. Theyre shown to click into the small holes and they down and they dont tightly fit in the hex holes
I printed this and i'm really curious as to what materials were used in the video, there are no suggestions that I see on the website for building the mini. I printed the grid in PETG and the parts in silk PLA using the normal tolerance files, and everything was so tight that I got angry and threw every bit in the trashcan after I broke both a thread and a piece of the grid itself trying to either get a part in or out. Rubber mallet helped some for some things, didn't do jack squat for other stuff. Thinking I'll just stick to other storage systems. It's a shame because I really like the geometric stuff, and a wall board like this would be useful in my wife's office. But hours and hours of print time just for the mini kit, only for it to break? Ugh.
Do you have a video or knowledgebase on the best way to contribute remixes and original mounts for tools? I've seem a few comments on it but it is not clear to me the best way to go about it.
I love the concept, but for the threads, I'm having horrible scaling issues (printing with PLA). None of the threads are fitting into the multigrid when printed as-is. All the different thread sizes require different levels of scaling to make them fit, which is a nightmare to keep track of. Is there an easy fix that I'm missing?
3:40 I've spent 15 minutes to try to connect 4 boards with that cross connector. I've tried all at once and also one by one. No luck, no way I can fit it there. After yet another try one of the two connectors broke straight in the middle. Any suggestions? Printed with PLA on Artillery Hornet, if this information will add anything.
The quad connector wasn't in the .stl for the starter pack though... I am guessing it was exchanged for a different solution, but this video is only 6 days old :D Or was the stl not updated yet? Also it would have been very helpful to include the printable multitools in the starter pack, not much of a starter without everything needed, right? ;) I have a bit of a problem with tolerances on my kobra plus... Parts fit in the board VERY snug, almost not possible to get in and out, and the threads are too tight. Needed to lightly sand every thread, but if anyone has a good tip on that, would be appreciated!
We need a easy setup guide with links to the parts that are needed to get the grids connected, thats part 1. Second Part: we need collections of the parts needed for something. Thats how we can learn to use the different parts.. I´m currently supporting you but i must tell you that after printing the mini multiboard i wanted to cancel my membership. i wanst able to print hte mini multiboard accessories on a ender 3 s1 with a 220x220 print bed and had to try and cut the file with extra software aso.. it was/is a hassle to get started@@Keep-Making
Right on the money! The key core mounting parts have all been updated. There is an update video about to come out in about 10 min and i'll pin it to the top comment of this video. Ya I know re-uploading this wont please the TH-cam gods but I'm here for the makers so keeping only fresh information all around!
I think it was. Previously the off-a-surface mounts were keyed and not it seems they have those squares. On the website you can see all of those are marked updated or new for the quad ones.
Please: Make the collections free. It is super hard to understand all of this and people don't get a start and will not use it at all. So less Money for you.
@@evanhiatt9755 the system is free*, but this starter kit collection isn't. You need to become a Thangs member to be able to download it. There's quite a lot of parts in the Multiboard system that are behind this membership paywall.
@@evanhiatt9755 Try to choose a set of parts for your own place. It's very hard to get behind the many parts and starter download sets cost money! Collections / Sets are NOT free!
@@Self.reliant This isn't actually true. All of the system is free. The "useful" stuff isn't behind a paywall. The four things that specifically aren't free are; 1. Upcoming parts that are a work in progress (aka not finished), 2. Pre-stacked print profiles (big whoop, you can just stack them yourselves in your slicer, not hard), 3. The "designer", which is just a quick way to create tiles with holes in it for cutouts (again, you can do this manually yourself easily), and 4. The mini-multiboard starter pack as one download. To be clear, the starter pack is all free too, you just have to download the pieces individually. Now, I personally think the starter pack (as one lazy download) should be free to get people hooked, but it is what it is. Point is, the whole system is free. But not open source. He clearly put a lot of work into designing this system and I have no problem throwing a little money his way.
Wow....great concept. Many sleepless nights are behind this I bet, as well as excited mornings! Great work my man....great work! Working on getting mine together now as we speak....can't wait. Exactly what my work bench needed!
@@zeddpilsner4 was probably the wrong question I asked, was more intended as how many holes does one need in the large 8 x 4 arrangement of tiles. I guess it depends greatly on how heavy the items you are hanging are. When I was originally thinking about it, I thought you would put a screw in each tiles corner and I wouldn't want to do that with plasterboard anchors, but given studs are something like every 60 cm you could put a screw block into each cell that aligns with a vertical stud. Given I have a printer bed that is 25cm that would mean that almost every second tile (and a bit) was securely fastened and the ones in between would have the tile to tile joiner with no screw in it.

This looks like a real professional-level design. I'm very impressed. Having installation and removal tools really make it 100%.

I’m having a blast with this. Several sets already in use. Another printing now.
It’s like legos for pegboards… only on steroids. 🙌
This project is awesome! just the amount of guides and documentation makes it stand out!
man deserves a nobel prize this solved so many storage issues for me
theoretically could perforated sheet metal multiboards be possible… or could the multiboard be reinforced by “snap-in” slots for metal wire grid
This looks like a real professional-level design.great~~
That removal tool you created works great by the way.
Gridfinity pushed me over the line to get a 3d printer last week. I'm super exited to get started with this as well.
Love it. I printed my grid then subscribed and am printing more accessories and figuring out what I need. Thanks man!
This is amazing, I love it. Just printed the first parts. Man I am so hyped.

This is just what I was looking for. I wish there was a way to support with a one off amount though. I really dislike monthly commitments.
Very good informational video on your product. Thank you.
Do I need to print the 4x stacks with supports enabled?
After just a few minutes on the site I subbed as a supporter. This is a big project and definitely deserves to help put money in your pocket :)

cant wait for us to move. I will be making one of these for my office. I really like your take of them.
You are the reason I finally got a 3D printer.Well, that and I could finally get one for £139.
this was really helpful, i actually understand now how awesome this multiboard is. i wish i had my own house and i would put that all over the walls :D
i know its says to use a .4mm nozzle but could i use a .6mm if my printer is tuned right or do i really need to use a .4mm
question, do you need to be a subscriber(member) to locate and download the tool to remove the connectors?
OK, I found it
clear as mud
How do I get the started pack to print on a ender 3 v3 ke it does not fit on the print bed ?

Do you find PLA strong enough to not break when clipping parts?
Can you print the tiles with a bigger nozzle like .6 or .8 still at .2 layer will it mess up the threads?
I'm using 0.6 nozzle, 0.2 layers, 3 walls, 15% infill, top layer ironing, P1p. So far, so good.
Generic PLA
Thanks
I'm using 0.6 too, no problem at all
Can you use core tiles for everything but a long the top and right side, and corne tiles? Other than none rectangular layouts, what advantage is there to printing top and side boards?
What weight can the hooks take please ? I'm wondering if I can hang a proton pack from Ghostbusters on this ?
better PLA or PETG?
My question exactly. PETG is more flexible for when you clip parts together but if the grid walls are thick enough PLA might hold it very well. Currently you can find some PETG spools for cheap.
@15:06 Where are those snap lids?.... I searched everywhere on your Multiboard site and the only lids I could find were drop-in lids.

Can these be made on a mars 4 resin printer
Hi, just a short question, I need for one tile (8x8) 3.5 h, is this normal, can it be sped up?

Put my multiboard on the wall today. I really like the system, but it’s quite a hassle to find the right parts… 😊

Are many using this on gyprock/plasterboard - what kind of wall “screw” are people using
use a drywall anchor either plastic pound in or zippit self drilling style depending on the weight. you could also hit the studs on a column
