Getting Started With Multiboard

I'm printing the stuff I need to start with this system and I'm really excited! But I have to tell you that it's really overwhelming the amount of things we need to learn and the way things are presented is so confusing. I feel like I have 10 tabs open all the time to go back and forth and figured out what I might need and where to download it from. The thumbnails all look alike and I don't think I found anywhere a straight forward way of saying: look, this is what you need to do and these are the many possibilities you can do with it: If you want to organize things using shelves and stuff, click this and download this, if you need stuff to hang tools etc, click here and download this, this way people would really know how to start and could branch out and create their own unique way of doing things, right now I feel like I'm required to already know a lot of concepts and have a clear idea of what I'm going to do with the system. This video does a great job at explaining the basics but it's just too much information for just one video. I think a great addition to this "GET STARTED" part of the knowledge hub would be a tutorial where you would actually prepare what you need for your space, actually mount it to a wall demonstrating all the steps and using the tools available and creating a simple initial set up with a few available options of accessories to showcase the possibilities. I'm printing the tiles now but I'm still a bit unsure about what else I need. Should I print the multitool? Is it required to get quad snap thingy? Or should I just print a bunch of duals and go with that? How do I find a file of an accessory that will mount a shelf to the board? Do I have to know about honeycomb or pegboard before starting with this? I got my first 3d printer a week ago and I'm deeply invested in learning everything I can and I know it's a process, but I also believe that you want to attract as many users as possible to your system and as a beginner this is how I'm perceiving the introduction right now. I understand that producing videos and tutorials on top of everything else requires a lot of time and effort, but I believe a simple and direct way to introduce and really show how to install the system would be the best way to get way more people on board since there are so many options out there when you start with 3d printing (like I am at the moment). Anyway, great job, the system is really amazing! I'm supporting the project because I really believe it should grow more and more. Thanks and good luck!

Something I'd love to see is a cable management system for Multigrid. I could also see myself mounting Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, breadboards and all sorts of electronics to it on the workbench.

To make it easier to tell the bolt lengths apart, you should add the length number to the bolt head 3d model so that you can easily tell them apart quickly.

The website + Thangs linking back and forth is confusing and the same basic info is repeated everywhere, making it hard to get started. It might be worth putting some kind of digital grid-builder tool on the website where users can pick from usable parts (bins and such) and put them onto the grid, choose a mounting style, and have a part list generated that includes all of the connectors that are needed to achieve the desired result.

It’s nice seeing stuff like T bolts being adopted more. So many people are stuck on traditional metal fastener designs cause it’s what they’re used to, not realizing a huge part of why nuts, bolts, etc are the way they are is because it was easier to manufacture that way. Screws don’t NEED to be a cylinder they’re just easier to make that way in metal.

I like this idea and the look of the grid is attractive, I can see the effort that went into this. What bugs me however is with over 700 parts does that not defeat the purpose of the system in the first place ? Sounds like I could print a special bracket per part and skip the peg board. Punting the grid and the parameter driven mounting clips for people to design there own attachments would make more sense. The grid itself also needs to be universal as in you don't need a center, corner, or side piece one piece fits all and hand full of adapters to mount and extend the grid.

You're so disorganized, can't find anything. But no worries, I hear somebody came up with something called Multiboard, might be worth a try! 😁

Multiboard looks amazing. You've done a great job. But as a newcomer, having watched the video I'm now more confused than before I started. Have you considered a, more focussed video where we are simply taken from knowing nothing to showing a basic starter-Multiboard being printed, assembled and fixed to a wall with some items on it? This video seems to jump around to "you might want it this way, you might want this thing, you might want that thing", "you can do this, or do that, there are longer versions of this, there are shorter versions of that, T-nuts, not T-nuts, different mounts...."... options options options... I get it - it's super flexible. But for a Multiboard noob I don't need to be confused by all that, I just need "get me up & running please." I suspect like many people I would have preferred a concise real-world guide: Print these four things. Fit them together this way. Screw them to the wall like this. Mount your chosen items like this. :-) Again though - thanks for fantastic job with Multiboard.

I was just about to start on the Honeycomb wall, but this sounds like a better option. I hope there is a command strip mounting option verses screwing onto the wall

love this dude. honestly never been more excited to put holes in my wall. you should do a video about the Multigrid stuff alone cause there is so much its a little overwhelming.

Reinventing the peg board. This is god damn genius dude.

Nice work, i'll give it a try to see how they compare with honeycomb wall

I love the idea. I´m currently starting with a standing desk organizer. Everything fits just perfectly! Well done, awesome

Great stuff! I was just starting with HoneyComb but this I like more because of the "normal" peg holes. Great work!

Good Timing on the release. Redoing my workstations over holiday break.

7:00 - Just how I feel browsing the parts library..

So multiboard from honey comb wall sounds like an improvement, but Im not convinced with multigrid and I will stick with gridfinity since I already have my gigantic workbench set up.

I think this is going to be my first major project when I get my first printer - I can already see it being ace for my son's room and my wife's craft space.

Wonderful design. Quite impressive.

This is awesome! The only thing I can see off the top is maybe a way to hold a card label. Something like you see on those hotel rooms, where they can slip in a card stock label.
