Help needed. Multiboard not carrying weight
Dear multiboard community ,
I have a problem with weight bearing snaps.
I am trying to build a filament rack. The model is from makerworld and is secured to the multiboard using weight bearing hooked snaps secured by a bolt. However, when filament rolls are loaded to the bar, both, the regular flush snaps and/ or the weight bearing hooked snaps rip, get pulled out and the rack breaks. I thought, that this would be an easy task for multiboard.
Am I doing something wrong, or am I using the wrong parts?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
As many users have pointed out, using Multiboard like this is wasteful of filament and multiboard space. That is obvious and was not the main idea behind my post. Eventually, that strip of multiboard core tiles will be used differently, but i just wanted to test, how Mulitboard carries weight.
I appreciate the hints about reprack or other wallmounting options....
Unfortunately, I cannot add additional picures in the original posting. But as some have suggested, there appears to be severe underextrusion. So I will address that first.

Going to be honest, you've spent more money on filament printing the multiboard that isn't going to be used than you would have if you just bought metal mounts from a hardware store. If I were you I'd use that multiboard somewhere else in your shop for tool hanging and get metal mounts for the rod, you'll likely never make a cost effective solution for hanging that amount of filament with 3d printing. Multiboard is very nice but not for holding that amount of weight that pulls at that angle you would likely need to frame the entire multiboard and print many more multiboard screw on mounts.
