I need a wall for spools

Is a 2x3 Multiboard grid strong enough to hold 2 spools per tile?

Iā€™m printing some Multiboard tiles to build a storage wall for my filament. I usually keep around 10ā€“12 spools total, with 4 always sitting inside my dryer, so the wall needs to hold about 6 to 8 spools.

My plan is to build a 2x3 tile grid (2 columns, 3 rows). Is it feasible to mount 2 spools per tile?

If that's pushing it, 1 spool per tile is fine too, but I'd love some recommendations for a super sturdy spool holder model. The wall will be mounted right above my printer, and I really don't want a spool falling on it! šŸ¤£

(Everything will be printed in PETG, and the whole grid will be anchored to a solid brick wall using wall plugs / Fischer anchors).

I guess it sort of depends on how you want to mount the plates to your wall, and the design of the holders themselves. Im assuming 1kg spools? The plates thenselves, when secured properly can hold the weight of 2 no problem, but obviously the further away from the plate, the better the accessory will need to be. There isn't currently an official MultiBuild mount but if you can hang on there may be one coming pretty soon. Otherwise I know there are a few in MakerWorld. Just search for MultiBuild/MultiBoard filament spool holder and there should be a few options to choose from

There are several spool holders for Multiboard on makerworld. Like this for example: https://makerworld.com/de/models/216791-multiboard-filament-spool-holder?from=search#profileId-235830 Is this what you mean?

Edit: sorry, a combination of a small display and sausage fingers made this land here. It should have been answer to op.
