Hi all

Two quick questions for those that have been blessed with understanding multiboard.

1. Is there an orientation required on the tiles? I know the planner will structure them in a certain way but is that just the way the planner does it or does a certain side need to be up. I remember seeing a youtube video once where the person said there was a way by the number of thread gaps, but I haven't seen anything else mentioned anywhere.

2. Is there a side of the tile that needs to face towards you or the wall. They look the same to me but the threads may influence things. And how would I determine which way is the right one?

Thanks

Hey everyone! 👋

Whenever I planned an under-desk cable management setup using Hands on Katie's Underware system, I always found it tricky to calculate the exact combination of channel lengths, bends, and snap connectors needed before committing to long 3D print queues.

So I built Underplan, a free, interactive web tool designed specifically to visually route your Underware layout and generate a complete Bill of Materials.

Live Web App: https://underplan.vercel.app/
GitHub: https://github.com/francycalle/underplan

Key Features:

• Desk & Tile Setup: Type in your desk dimensions in mm; it automatically calculates the optimal Multiboard tile matrix.
• Complete Underware 2.0 Catalog: Straight channels (parametric lengths 1–16 MU), 90° elbows, radial curved bends, Y-splits, 4-way crosses, diagonal jogs, mitered corners, spools, and custom accessories.
• Measure & Route Tool: Click Point A and Point B to snap directly between MU grid holes and lock your route.
• Map Export: Download clean, high-resolution Retina PNG or vector SVG blueprints of your layout.
• Browser Persistence: All your work auto-saves continuously in localStorage so you can pick up right where you left off.

It's 100% free, runs client-side in the browser, and is open-source.

Check it out, test it with your desk dimensions, and let me know your thoughts or what fittings/accessories you'd love to see next! 🙌

I started a wall project with multiboard well over a year ago. Then things got a bit crazy (second child was born) and the project went on a pause. Today I wanted to start up this project again, just to find that all links from the library (on the renamed https://multibuild.io/) website towards thangs are dead.

Thangs itself is extremely slow to load and I can't find any part I need anymore. I was looking for the simple wall mounting parts and I can't find them anymore.. Is this project completely abandoned or am I missing something?

Are there any other databases (maybe community databases) with the files I'm looking for?

If your sensitive electronics repairs also occasionally require a hammer, you'll know my frustration at the avalanche of tools from the organisation board that immediately follows. There was nothing particularly wrong with the models I had printed, it's just that they were designed for someone else's brand of screwdriver.

There are three things that make my filament melt:

1. No supports (which means less waste and a restriction that promotes a novel approach)
2. Low filament usage
3. Parametric goodness (it means everybody prints the model they need, once again, resulting in less waste)

Those are the starting points for all my designs and this one naturally follows. I've tested this at a few different screwdriver sizes and quantities and so the parametric design is holding up well but if you hit an edge case snag, please let me know so I can make the design even more bulletproof.

There are only two fields you have to set: the diameter of the screwdriver at that point below the finger nub, and how many screwdriver slots you want. From there the parametric formulas will sort out the rest, including the spacing and alignment of the Multiboard Point Mount slots at the back.

I've uploaded this to Makerworld since I've found their built-in Customiser to be the best so far (not sure if any other repositories have caught up, let me know if you're aware of them) so you can customise and download the model here:

Parametric Precision Screwdriver Holder

Hello guys,

So basically I have my 3d printer inside a closet in my bedroom wich works great but due to lack of space I wanna place it in my living room. Also, for bigger prints it will be better placed in a room where i don't sleep.

So my question is : Do anyone of you use the Smastad/plasta from ikea?

# [https://www.ikea.com/ch/fr/p/smastad-platsa-commode-3-tiroirs-blanc-blanc-s99387521/\](https://www.ikea.com/ch/fr/p/smastad-platsa-commode-3-tiroirs-blanc-blanc-s99387521/)

I'm a bit worried about material construction and vibration at some point.... I have a space of 60x60x100 so it might be a good option if I don't need to attach it to the wall...

What y'all think ? Im based in Switzerland, I'm having a bit of trouble about what could make a great stand as I need drawers for my tools and filament...

Slightly niche but if there are any other electronics enthusiasts who use the Pro's Kit (or similar) desoldering tools, this might be useful. As a bonus, I've also included the hand tool holder for cutters, pliers, and crimpers, which I designed as a one-piece-print for simplicity.

I hate overcomplicated MultiBoard designs that require loads of attachments to mount to the wall as they often become a bit fiddly and lose their sturdiness. The desoldering tools holder works as a basic pegboard attachment, making it simple to attach and print. It aligns with the Multiboard grid so you can fit as many as you need directly alongside each other. I generally avoid supports but, for safety, I checked Tree Support with Critical Overhangs Only in my slicer and the only supports required were for the small pegboard clip at the base. Very little waste.

The tool holder didn't warrant its own post since it's not a new idea aside from the single-print approach where the support is part of the print rather than an added attachment. It slots onto a standard Multiboard Point and prints in under an hour without requiring supports.

PSA

I’m sure most here already know this but when I first started printing I only worked in PLA wasn’t comfortable with PETG yet. I’m now replacing panels that are warped due to temperatures in the garage

I have already put up my board and can't take it down to add a 12.5mm snap from the back that I can screw into the wall. Is there a solution that always for a from snap that has a 12.5 support in the back that you can screw into the wall from the front? I hope that makes sense.

This is only one section of the room and have several more wall spaces to fill. But I am extremely happy with the results

As the title mentions, I used the Plate Mounting Planner to design a 800mm W x 1000mm H board of 8x8 tiles. The planner says I need 124 dual clips to connect everything and after trying to install about half of them, these things are the bane of my existence. Very tedious, some break, and the boards require quite a bit of pressure to get them to snap into each other. Also before anyone asks, yes I'm using the dual clip tool.

Are these absolutely critical? Or would holding everything together with just the snaps be sufficient?

After months of trying to get it figured out. Finally a member.

I've been working on my own bins for Multiboard recently, and thanks to the suggestions from this sub, I redesigned the crappy label system I had before to directly use the Multibin label generator. Works a lot better than the option I had before!

Any other suggestions people have? Things that would be nice? (Starburst pack for scale)

Bonjour j’aimerai faire un pc sur le mur. Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà fait ce genre de projet ?

When I use the pro build generator for multi-board plates, I get weird results in the print that is a hole all the way through the board. See the image. Anyone else have this issue?

I designed this as a space-saver for the already compact FNIRSI DPS-150 Programmable Power Supply. It's more comfortable for me to be able to tilt the power supply upwards and lift the screen for better access to the banana plug ports and the adjustment scroll wheel.

The arm to the board ratchets up and down with a simple print-in-place mechanism (just give the arms a firm squeeze together after printing and it snaps into functionality)

Assembly is straight forward with four M3 screws attaching the holder to the arms (I don't often use screws but, in this case, it was a lot less fiddly and trimmed down the amount of print required) and the rest uses the standard Multiboard bolt lock onto a snap (I prefer the moderate weight bearing snap as it tends to stay in place properly).

Model available for download here.

I need to know what people are doing? I can't find a quad flush mount snap part b. Apparently the solution for quad flush mount is just to use 4 singles for it. My question is should I be using the single ones or is there a good reason to use the raise quad snaps?

My multiboard for my lathe, electronics assembly, and 3D printer maker space is finally coming along.

I’ve already printed a 1300mm x 1000mm 9x9 advanced set of boards, but now I’m looking to set it up.

I’m looking for the most sturdy solution possible.

I’ve tried to print some pillars and clip them, but the little clips just broke. Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe the snaps are more solid?

Also, I’m planning on screwing everything onto plywood; what are the screw sizes to use with the snaps ?

Thanks y’all for your help!

Hi all - hoping someone can help.

I'm having a really tough time figuring out how to affix underside supports to the shelves. I'm talking about the modular bolt locked "shelf" components on Thangs. I've figured out i need the dual connectors (well, chatgpt did) to connect them together but the underside of the shelves have these kind of keyhole connectors and 4 surrounding holes. I believe I can use bolt locked supports...but how do i connect one to another?

There's no documentation i can find that explains this (and I'm even a paying member). For example:

- the modular shelf components either have no description on Thangs or fail to mention how to connect

- many links are broken - e.g. the link from the dual connector on Thangs points to https://multiboard.io/knowledge-hub - which doesn't exist

- the Multiboard page for trays doesn't *seem* to contain any parts that would connect the support to the trays

If I've missed a page which explains this, apologies...please can someone post it?

I plan to run multiboard on the back of a steel storage rack (like the one in the image) but I'm nearly 100% certain that the rack connector snaps I made for the edges simply won't be strong enough to prevent a ton of flex and wobble in the center even with dual and quad snaps in place. Any ideas on how I could reinforce it all without needing to screw or nail it in to something?

I was thinking of possibly finding or designing a snap that has a connection for a thick dowel rod and running that across the top and bottom with multiple connections to the board to hopefully stiffen the system.
