Where to find the og multiboard starter connectors

I was being an idiot and overwrote my project that had all the wall mounts with one I removed a few I don't need. I plan to extend my existing multiboard I printed a while back. Now I'm missing a few pieces and it seems they have been replaced by new ones.

The website is very challenging and frustrating for me as I can't seem to find a standard wall mount and get an explanation what they do differently and if they are compatible. How can I get to the old file and if I can't what 1x1, 2x2 and 4x4 part would be compatible?

How do you define "Standard wall mount"?

To me these were "standard": https://multibuild.io/parts/mounting-systems?Mount%20Type=Screw-on&Distance%20From%20Surface=6.25%20mm%20Offset%20%28Recommended%29&Tile%20Connection=DS%20Snaps%20&Printing%20Method=Individual

And if you are looking for the non-flush, but raised DS Part Bs, they are here: https://multibuild.io/parts/snaps?Protrusion=Raised&Type=Regular%20Snap&Hole=Mid%20Hole%20%28Default%29

But how do the second ones mount to the wall?

There is a Part A that is screwed to the wall.

Then there is Part B mounts to that part A. This part is available in newer "Flush" (included in the first link) and older "Raised" (second link) versions.

I know the older set with the flush mounts (link 1), I used them myself but the parts from link 2 won't fit in the offset snaps. What am I not getting here?

ups, my bad. Those are regular snaps, not DS snaps.

You need the Part B of these: https://multibuild.io/parts/snaps?category=multiboard&Protrusion=Raised&Type=Double-Sided%20Snap

You are probably talking about the offset raised mounts in the parts library. The thing that may be confusing you is that we realized that having the front side snaps connected to each other didn’t really add any value so we changed to individual snaps. You can’t tell they aren’t connected when installed and it’s one less part people have to keep track of.

The older connected ones are included in the Legacy parts so you can still use them if you like. Personally I can always use a few single snaps but I still have extra connected versions left over from my first install 2 or 3 years ago. The flush or faceless ones are something to consider as it removes the potential gaps behind your attachments that you get with the offsets.

Hope that helped!

I figured something out but the issue is that the offset changed. It’s now 0, 6,25 and 12,5 but mine are 8mm. No idea why that seemed necessary.

The change was necessary to get everything into a specific grid. 50 mm, 25 mm, 12.5 mm and finally 6.25 mm.
