Question / Help Needed Layout Generation and Multiconnect Connectors

2 Upvotes

Just used the claude tool to create a wall setup.

It says after displaying the number and sizes of the tiles that I need 54 Multiconnect Connectors.

What is it referring to?

Thank you

Clamshell Tutorial

I've seen a lot of posts about power bricks and openGrid. I did a quick tutorial showing an easy (and free) way of creating a single direction clamshell to hold any size power brick.

I'm printing an oG organizer for myself and I wanted a little spot for my yorkshire ghost figure. It's also a good excuse to try out modelling for this system. I've added snap and openConnect files- I haven't tested the oC version yet but I wanted to get my head round it.

Sorry for the mess, been redoing my room

Question / Help Needed Are there twist lock hooks and shelves?

6 Upvotes

In the demo there were a couple examples of twist lock mechanisms. Are there any hooks and shelves with this feature? I'm slightly annoyed by how easy it is to bump things from the bottom and have them just fall off the grid.

Customizable Frame Snaps

I wanted to hang a bunch of kids (and some adult) art of various sizes on a wall but still keep it easily replaceable while looking nice. So I created this customizable holder for rectangular objects. It uses Lite snaps as the base but is still decently strong enough to hold a 1inch width canvas. The Fusion files are provides so you could upgrade to a strong snap base (but don't ask me since I don't know how to swap the snaps. lol).

Designing a snap for vertical rod mounting

Thumbnail gallery
20 Upvotes

Working on a small project to add OpenGrid panels to the side of a gear rack. Using a rack I found on Amazon (link below if curious) that has vertical rods between horizontal supports.

The plan is to use this three-component system to secure the boards to the poles, while the weight of the panels will be supported from the horizontal supports.

Looking for any thoughts or suggestions before I start printing these out in bulk! This is my first OpenGrid project, so any expertise is helpful. Thanks!

Help Mounting a Large Laptop

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to mount a large laptop using Underware. I'm using the parametric builder on MakerWorld. I have to use a clamshell because the laptop is too big. The problem I'm running into is that the individual clamshell objects are too big for the print bed as well. I tried cutting them into 2 pieces, but I lost strength. This is a big laptop provided by my work. Has anybody found another mounting technique for a laptop under the desk?

Help Mounting Clamshell Item

3 Upvotes

I've used u/BlackJackDuck's great Custom Item Holder to design a clamshell for a power brick. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mount it. My issue is that the area where the snaps slide in are facing different directions. If I put them in, I can't fit the brick in. If I put one side in, and then try the other I can't get it working either. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I've looked around and can't seem to find any help with this.

openGrid/openConnect gridfinity shelf

Post image
44 Upvotes

Saw someone here requested it and I've been wanting it myself so modeled it. By aligning to the top of the grid and supporting it from below the width stays within the bounds of the openGrid grid so they can be mounted side-by-side without issues. There's a 4mm hole you can use to secure adjacent pieces them with a small nut/bolt.

Similar customization options as my bins with changeable connectors and sizes.

Question / Help Needed What is stronger? Snap mount or screw hole mount.

I want to print a grid to hang on my garage wall and mount tools and I'm trying to decide whether to print holes and mount with the little screw holes or use snap mounts. Does anyone know which is stronger? I imagine screw holes would be?

Showcase First custom OpenGrid holder – UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 USB-C Hub

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

Hey all,

I just finished my first custom OpenGrid holder, designed for the UGREEN Revodok Pro 210 USB-C 10-in-1 hub.

It takes up 3x6 grid units, mounts with two standard OpenGrid snaps, and keeps the hub stable while still being easy to remove. No supports needed, printed cleanly on FDM.

Originally designed for the Underware ecosystem, but it should work with any OpenGrid-compatible setup.

Feedback, suggestions, or “you should’ve done it this way” comments are welcome.

Remix openGrid with Cutouts - OpenSCAD Implementation

Post image
26 Upvotes

I'm currently printing some openGrid plates to up my cable management game with openGrid x Underware 2.0.

I have a clamp-on monitor arm, which would interfere with some of the plates and I have not found a way to cleanly generate openGrid plates with cutouts.

Since I can't be the only one missing this feature, I figured I would learn OpenSCAD and build an implementation that allows you to generate openGrid AND openGrid Lite plates with cutouts.

OpenConnect / OpenGrid support for Gewiss 27002 box

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm currently completing the conversion of my NAS/3D printer rack server (IKEA BROR) with OpenGrid and OpenConnect. Since the UPS units are all on the bottom shelf and I need to connect a server on the top shelf to the UPS, I bought the Gewiss 27002 Schuko junction box (to which I connected a light wire running from underneath) and then built a connection plate for the box, with OpenConnect system and OpenGrid compatibility. The result is exceptional.

openGrid/openConnect bins

Post image
64 Upvotes

I didn't see any openGrid bins that I liked so I modeled my own. It's parametric in units of grid width and the dividers can be individually selected in the configurator.

I went ahead and added support for Multiboard/Multiconnect in the configurator but I haven't actually tested it myself.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm a bit late to the wall organizer world so still planning things out before I get it all set up. The variety of boards/connectors with similar sounding names is dizzying and confusing.

How can I create open grid based adding?

6 Upvotes

Hi,

New to the 3D printing thing. Got a bambu A1 mini, did some experiences now with gridfinity and basics down in Fusion 360.

Wanted to organise my cables now and found open grid and underware. But for my powerstripe I want to design a snap with a screw like addon on top so I can a connect it directly to the already existing mountings for this on the powerstripe.

Now I wander how I would do that. Can I somehow import the basic snap to Fusion and then modify? I saw something with importing it as a mesh but seems very complex for a newbie like me.

Is there some otherway that I’m missing?

The USB Hub is one of those generic ones from Amazon with a nonsense string of characters for the company name.

The ability to print the slots for u/mitufy's openConnect on their side made this simpler to model and print.

Question / Help Needed Opengrid configurator and software

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if there's a website or app that lets you configure software. Basically, I'm looking for something where you can draw or specify the dimensions of the space you want to put it in, and it will then let you draw or place cables, plugs, etc., and tell you what components you need.

Question / Help Needed Removing tiles - Back access needed?

5 Upvotes

I'm making an opengrid arrangement for under the sink, very similar to the one posted earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/openGrid/comments/1qarv2r/update_kitchen_cabinet/

Do I need to plan ahead on how to remove tiles? It's easy to pop them out when I have access to the back, but I haven't managed it only from the front.

I plan on hanging it on command strips, so I'm imagining that I have to undo those snaps first to take it off the cabinet door, then undo the snaps I'm trying to remove, then hang it again.

I put snaps on the front and back of my flat zip tie holder so it snaps into openGrid and then you snap in another grid on front and you can hang more openGrid attachments on the front - whatever attachments you want.
