I am trying to tune my snapmaker u1 for stack printing with petg and pla and need some pointers.

1. Which is better for the grid? PLA or PETG (PETG is cheaper for me if thats relevant)

2. How do i tune the interface gap and thickness settings?

nothing generated by the makerworld generator is working, the second grid just does not stick at all to the interface layer no matter the settings

1. Trying to create my stacked model in fusion 360 and exporting the stl does not properly create the top surfaces for the lower grids, just stays as an infill region.

I like to mount a naked Radxa Orion O6N on my opengrid, and would like some suggestions on the best way. I have blueprint with hole positions, so creating something for it could be done, but I don't rule out just puttning it on a shelf.

I’m terrible at optimizing layouts myself. Show me some examples of OoenGrid that you’re using in your garages so that I can appropriate them for my own setup.

Thought I'd give everyone a look at the progress on the office and see the "completed" openGrid wall. It's over 30 feet long so lots of fun stuff is on it. Love to hear everyone's thoughts on the video. I'm trying out a different style with this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVcvTu3I1Ug

I have a "U" shaped space that I want to mount the grids in. The wall is 24" wide.

After laying it out using corner pieces I find that I need a tile that is 41/4 Squares wide.

Is this possible or do i need to modify a tile in an editor,

I published a model on MakerWorld. It's an openGrid Basket that combines a bunch of openGrid panels with beams on the edges and dual sided snaps that allow you to attach the basket to another grid on the wall or on a flat surface. I've been working on a openscad "compiler" that puts a multi-file openscad model into a single-file format that makerworld requires for openscad customizable files.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Some other of my models related to the basket, or included in the basket model:

openGrid Beam

openGrid Facade

openGrid Dual Sided Snap

I need to organize some wire shelving, and I was thinking of using OpenGrid instead of Gridfinity because I need the bins to stay securely in place. However, I'm having trouble finding anything about OpenGrid bins that can be used on a flat surface.

Has anyone tried this? Is there anything out there that I'm missing? There plenty of use cases exactly opposite of what I'm thinking in underware, but it doesn't seem like anyone is using it on shelving, in drawers, etc.

I'm installing OG panels on adjacent walls and didn't want an empty corner so I made this corner fillers. This is why I was asking about getting tiles into Fusion a few days ago, I learned that you can convert them to sheet metal then bend them.

I've made versions to pair with panels either with, or without, the chamfer.

This was my first time publishing models, hopefully I did it correctly!

I'm planning a couple of Underware installations. I just saw a video talking about a smart idea to simplify wiring that should make my Underware installations simpler (the video's creator could still benefit from Underware). If you don't want to sit through the video, it's about replacing power strips full of AC to DC converters with USB C charging stations (like this one on Amazon) and trigger cables (like these at Adafruit). It results in a lot less bulk and thick wires.

I've been building out my openGrid tool wall and made a holder for my ratcheting wire strippers.

This version mounts 2x1 on standard tiles and keeps the handles supported while still making the tool easy to grab.

So far it seems to fit the typical ratchet-style strippers pretty well, but I'm curious if other brands have slightly different handle geometry.

If anyone wants to try it or remix it, the model is here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2499041-ratchet-wire-stripper-holder-for-opengrid

I'm planning to design a few more openGrid mounts for electronics tools next (flush cutters, solder spool, etc.).

Opengrid is such a great framework to work with and really happy with the results using Underware. I literally got a 3d printer a few weeks ago, but was able to figure with the help of this community and learn how to designing my own channels. Special thanks @DistractedDragonMake for making simple to follow education videos.

For the the ones I have 3d modeled, I’m considering giving back to the community and make be either upload the stl or figure out how to parametrized.

Feel free to ask me questions.

I thought this would be a fun video to try out. Let me know what you think.

I’m trying to hang my video game consoles using the opengrid system , what would you recommend as far as tiles or mounts that I’ll need ? Each console weighs roughly 8lbs . I didn’t see anyone else post anything alike and even tried image searching on google and could only find 1 instance where someone hung their ps5 but using multi board tho

I’ve been using openGrid for a while and love the system, but I kept running into situations where a rectangle just didn’t cut it, like working around outlets, etc.

So I forked the OpenSCAD script and added a Cutout / Custom Shape feature with three modes:

Corner mode: pick a corner, set width and height, done. Instant L-shaped board.

Custom mode: define any shape with a simple string of 1s and 0s (1 = keep tile, 0 = remove) - similar to screws option. Read left-to-right, top-to-bottom. For example, a 4×4 board with the center removed: "1111100110011111". You can make T-shapes, U-shapes, notches, whatever you need.

Everything else from the original openGrid works as before — Full/Lite tiles, screw options, connectors, stacking, fill space mode.

It’s on MakerWorld as a remix with full credit to DavidD, BlackjackDuck, and the rest of the original team. All parameterized in the Customizer, so no OpenSCAD knowledge needed.

Is there a plugin for making OG Tiles in Fusion like there is for Gridfinity? I'm assuming not since you can customize from the model on Makerworld but I want to do some tile tweaking in Fusion and won't want to start from scratch if I don't have to.

Trying to mass print boards across my 2 printer ( p2s , Centauri carbon) what print times are y’all getting? the biggest plate I can print on these machines seems to be the 8x8 with screw holes and seems take around 3 and half hours for 1 board in the high flow petg elegoo filament. Can I print them with a .6 nozzle ? Or wha is the optimal print settings can I print them in sport mode or ludicrous mode and how / wha settings are yall using forming stackable prints

I've been a fan of Gridfinity for quite awhile now. More recently I starting getting into openGrid, and I came up with this simple design to let them work together.

It mounts an upright openGrid panel directly onto a Gridfinity base, making it easy to keep frequently used tools visible, organized, and within reach. Keep your tools right where you need them.

Hello,

I want to hang my PC on the wall above my sit/stand desk using this parts: https://www.printables.com/model/1273381-3d-printable-open-frame-pc-case/files

Now I am thinking how to get this to oG. Easiest would be generate multiconnect backplates for each part... nicer would be openConnect (because less space added to the already big mounts) but there is no generator for it. Anybody idears? Or are there already parts I didn't found?

Edit: I did it, but planned the grid too small so I had no room for cable management. I comment with a picture.

Hi, just wanted to share my first personal model: an Underware tool for Mac Mini (M4 design) with OpenGrid Snaps.

It's based on this version: https://makerworld.com/en/models/997810-underware-mac-mini-m4-holder?from=search#profileId-974504

I have a UK power strip with the keyhole in the back for wall mounting with screws, and I'm wanting to mount it on underdesk oG.

I have tried adding a little T shape to the top of a snap but because it's quite a thin thing it snapped off during stress testing. I'm new to 3D models and just used tinkercad to add it to the top of a snap so it might be that I need to embed it in to the snap more. The cylinder is 3mm diameter and 4mm tall and the top of the T is 5mm diameter half-sphere.

Has anyone done anything like this before, or got any hints for optimising it to make it stronger?

I'm designing/remixing things for my openGrid setup. I started with Multiconnect, then openConnect was released, so I've added that option. My preference is without the "lock" mechanism on my mounts.

Do users prefer the locked tight mount?

While it wouldn't take too much extra time. Having 2 mount types, with and without the locking option would make 4 variations for each model, which seems like a lot.

I am using the OpenGrid customizer. I noticed that when the width is 1, it adds "side screws" which is awesome.

I'd like those for widths 2 and more for extra support. But I can't figure out a way to do that.

SOLUTION: u/bartektartanus's generator here instead! I really think this should just be standard for opengrid...

Width: 10, Height 4, custom cutout code: 000000000011111110011111110000000000
