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.

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.

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.

I have supported the project at Tier 2 subscription for 7 months. I haven't printed a single part due to confusion. I've reached out to the community on discord for help a couple times without any luck. Take that for what it's worth before considering.

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.

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.

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

Thank you for the time, effort, videos, and documentation you have put into this, Jonathan.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Wonderful design. Quite impressive.

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! 😁

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.

wooow i absolutly love this design grate work

I've printed ly firsts pieces of Multiboard. There are indeed lots of parts on the website and few helping, bit it seems awesome!

Such a cool concept..just getting into it...would like to see how to hang shelves on this board...what hooks to use and which shelves

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.

awesome vid definitely will invest in future

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

Hey nice work dude! Just one quick thing can you add a short video about the sliding rails and such, as I'm finding it difficult to understand how they work. Basically want them to hang hex drivers in for my FPV work station. Cheers Dude! 🤘😁

Great storage concept Jonathan

I feel like while it’s cool to see/hear about options, tips, etc. it would have been clearer to me how to use the basic system if you’d started with how to set up specific use cases first. Like “this is how you build a wall mounted peg board” and then “this is how you can make a free standing organizer”, etc. Then having a separate section for mounting options, tips, advanced ideas etc.

This stuff is amazing. I've recently got into 3d printing after an abortive attempt with a kit i3 and have a wee shed to turn into a maker space. This stuff will absolutely be part of that.

Great job, I think you made a much better mouse trap. Problem is this is very confusing of which part to use where and when. You have a starter pack that may show it off better but it's behind a paywall. You are basically marketing to users of the Honeycomb Storage Wall and Gridfinity which is completely open to the community and looks like made better by the community and want them to switch over to the Multiboard and bin system but pay to do it. I get you put a lot of time into this, and again this is really cool, but this only really makes it if the community gets behind it and can contribute to it. Sorry, not trying to knock your work, this is actually really amazing and I'm glad you made it. I totally get you wanting to get compensated for all the time you put in on this project, that's always the tough part of open source and community driven projects. But your also trying to make all the parts your own the way you would use it then release it all at once instead of releasing the core parts and have the community help you make it a much bigger better system. I have printed out some of the parts (evidently not all the ones I actually needed, very confusing on getting bounced from your website to thangs) and will see how it fits together. I look forward to seeing where this project goes.

I'd like to suggest something for where the boards join. Perhaps have retaining brackets with shelves/hooks/whatever on the outside to create more functional options for the adjoining areas.

Major props 🛩️

Nice! :)

What's the go with larger freestanding vertical boards? I'm keen to add a tool wall to the back of my workbench (just a garage shelving unit with MDF tops) and wondering how tall I can go, and how much support it'll need. It'll mostly be for cordless power tools - drill, driver, jigsaw, palm router, angle grinder, etc. - with bits, fasteners, batteries, chargers, and so on. Nothing individually over 5kg, and I can spread the heavy items evenly across the bottom half of the board to keep things stable. I can print 90° brackets, drill thru-holes for thick floor-standing dowel posts every X cm, screw-and-glue angled wooden supports, or I guess even mount a fully braced ply/MDF back wall but that seems a bit overkill. Any advice on best bang-for-buck strategy would be great!

Danke!

2:10 "when you realize it's octagonal not hexagonal" ... this isn't Honeycomb Wall Storage ... but it looks SO MUCH better

I really appreciate your hard work and effort that you’ve put into this. And I’m not trying to hate, but rather leave some constructive feedback. First of, more isn’t always better. Sure, I get that you’re trying to make a solution for everything, but it just makes things more complicated/complex. (Also why I abandoned your precision modeling Blender course after 10 lessons without actually any modeling in it.) Yes, it’s all important stuff and has a good reason being there, but it’s not beginner friendly when you need to research and print several fasteners, bolts, whathaveyou if all you want to do is hang up some scissors. Also, I don’t really understand why you didn’t went with Gridfinity or at least Gridfinity compatible system instead of the multigrid. You could’ve still design lots of adapter plates and connectors for the multiboard with it. You might disagree, but watching this chaotic getting started guide it seems like there’s still some work to be done to better introduce the system to newbies. Maybe make a more structured version and add some use cases (or make that as separate videos) where you actually build out a wall or stand with parts. Would really like to see the system work out and stay for the long run. And hopefully use it once we’ve moved. 👍

Good Stuff. How do you mount the Bins on the wall?

Jonathan, thank you very much for this. I can't see how to contact you by email (I'm Old Skool), but hope that you read this. Multiboard came along perfectly timed with my getting a 3D printer. I'm still printing bits, because it does take a while, but I am so grateful to you for this. I am a supporter and am chucking you about a fiver a month, because I really appreciate what you've done.

lol, Figures something better would come out after spending a week printing Honeycomb stuff to redo my wall.

Maybe some exploded-views in 3d for several examples would be helpfull.

Thanks

Having one side of the installation-guide longer might help with making the first grid level.

Nice

This is so stinking cool. I don't have a 3d printer but I want to get one just to print this

Hi! Have you tried to make it in full control? I am wondering how much time and mayby filament could you save.

Wow! Multiboard making an easy task extra difficult.

Wow ❤

Mounting was hard for me because of too many screws. If I did this again, I would just assemble the whole thing then put a left top mount, but not screw whole the way to keep it rotatable, then level the panel and mark the other holes and then drill the holes. After that I would put just few screws at the bottom to keep it aligned to surface. Note to the creator: Make sets, like 4x3, 3x3, 6x8 whatever, so people will not get lost while trying to figure out if corner, side or core tiles are needed. Also mounting sets for each one is required.

Hi, how many screws do you use? 4, one in each corner. Or one at each connection point?

Multi board (for vertical)+ gridfinity (for horizontal)= perfect organization.

What size nozzle are these made for. I have my printers setup with .06.

Any tips on how to print the tiles? There always seems to be small sections that leave singular blobs that cause the inner parts to fail whenever I try to print them. Currently trying with ABS on a 350mm^2 bed, .2mm layers, 4 layer lines, and 5 top/bottom layers (basically Voron part printing settings).

I'm sorry but i don't understand how the 8mm is different for wall mount? You still have hole to drill right? Thank you for this system!!

how do you program a stack build? i.e. if I take two of your boards and want to stack them in Bambu's slicer I was able to print your stacked 8 x 8 and the print and split instructions were awesome! Now I just want to build a massive, functional wall as fast as possible! Am on X1C.

What are the sliding rails for?

have you considered MOLLE/PALS integration?

What is the license on these models?

Brilliant. Just printed the first 8x8? sheet last night. Can't wait to try a bunch of this out over the holiday break. Question: you made mention of pegboard a few times. Is there a system for mounting these to a 1/4" pegboard? I'd love to just slap this over my existing pegboard if possible :)

my 3d printer built another 3d printer that built a CNC that built a drill press, that built a soldering machine, that built my tool system, that built my storage space(this + gridfinity), that made my lab more organized that allowed me to build faster, that made me able to build more, that completely changed how i look at the world. aside from food, i make at least 60% of everything i use. my lab built itself. all i wanted was to make RC aircraft, but now, i can make anything. this is the greatest hobby in the world. just an example: i bought a vacuum flask, a collection beaker, and some tubing, but every other part of my vacuum press coffee machine was 3D printed. i even use the build plate to put heat into the system.

do you have any parts that allow multiboard to be mounded at 90deg to eachother? would like to use it to box in around a pipe in a tool cabinet (100mm extractor fan pipe)

I am looking at this for my work office, but I’m in a cubicle. Is there a mounting option I can use on fabric cubicle walls? Or even a Mount with a magnet that I can use for the side of a file cabinet?

I would like to contribute to this project by making custom parts. Where do I find the base info about the holes ? I.E. Hole spacing and hole dimensions.

Can I use ABS or just PLA filament?

It's a shame you didn't design the screw pitch such that it would line up regardless of orientation. With having fixed 90deg rotations, that wouldn't be terribly difficult using a double helix screw

Hi! what are the part used in the pen multiboard, im trying to figure it out, but i can't find all the pieces

A simulator 😂 subscribed

What do we have to know to design our own parts? I want a holder for Bambu liquid glue and it doesn't look like it exists.

Where can I get this?

What's the advantage of this over the the massly adopted honeycomb design?

The model scale is which? E.g. the push-fit pegs seem all to be +6 mm long, so 106 instead of 100 and so on when downloading from Thangs. The tiles' inner openings are 21.4 mm wide where 20 mm would be expected to actually make it compatible w/ Honeycomb wall. The models are downloaded as STLs, the measures happening in Prusa Slicer 2.7.1 ...

Very cool! I'm looking for a system to combine holders for paint (that I already have) and I was trying to see if your system had shelfs that would be suitable for Warhammer miniatures, but I couldn't find any mail to send the question and didn't see any long shelf on the website ether... You run a business and it's not clear how to contact you? Please answer me and I probably be a subscriber. ;-)

What's the size of a tile?

I was going to print an 8x8 board but 9 HOURS for one board on my setup, my god lol

Looks awesome but I don't see any benefit from forking gridfinity as I cannot imagine usecases for a horizontal honeycomb (sorry, multiboard :P) and then a "gridfinity fork" baseplate on top of that... why? :'( it would be so great without that addition

Imagine if someone told you that you could build ANY Ikea furniture you wanted FOR FREE (some restrictions apply), then pointed you to a warehouse full of individual parts in bins labeled in Swedish for every Ikea part ever. "But don't worry, it's not confusing!" they say, while doing their best Billy Mays impression. Then they launch into a scattered and ill prepared livestream during which they frantically reach for parts (often the wrong ones) with no evidence of preparation and build the most basic Vikhammer bedside table. That's Multiboard. It can be figured out (no thanks to this video, the website, or the Thangs page) but get ready for a table-flipping experience unlike any Swedish furniture build ever. I really, really want to like this and hate to be negative, but I'd delete this video and the website, then start over with usable tutorials and documentation.

will this work on a unfished wall

I cannot found any glue of true size of these sheets at the site. Knowing that could be helpfull when choose wich sheet fit to my printer... But perhaps I'm a just woodeye. 😂

could be a great hobby for kids, lego but actually useful

I don't really understand how to use the sliding rails. Could someone please explain them to me?

Do you need to be a patron to download?

This looks pretty awesome! Are you printing the tiles in PETG or PLA?

Where is the file for the "TOOL" you keep mentioning?

Watched the first 7 seconds... complicated describes this whole thing so far. So confused as to where to start with all the different iterations and significant version changes that have made everything before the changes... obsolete? I don't even know the current state of things and how many generations are now outdated. Wish there was a video explaining the timeline, changes, what is outdated, and where things are now. Have paid a subscription for Monthhhhhsssss, wanting to print the organization tools I'm paying for... but have been so overwhelmed that I haven't even printed a single piece.

I was interested in trying this out as I need to print some more honeycomb walls, but as soon as I started looking at the files, I saw stuff hidden behind a paywall. The open community is what made honeycomb and gridfinity popular. The stuff hidden behind a paywall had turned me off of this.

theres a tool for taking the snaps out makes it loads easier

this is so cheap but sooo good

a hexagon option instead of a square would be nice

Can't get the smaller piece to the free standing feet in place. I'm just not going to lol

I was going to print the 4 stack multi board 8x8 60 hours. Yikes

did anybody tried to print with 0.6mm nozzle?

I can’t find any of the connector snaps because there is so many pieces lol

Gridfinity remix, huh

A management system thats need a 20 min explanation on how to use it is not a very good system.

Close-ups: use them. You've got frames where the interesting part is happening in 1% of the area of the screen Colours: use different ones for different parts. You had white on white on white when showing the stand-up setup Testing: do it with your explanations on other people. I've watched all 3 Multiboard videos, the first one twice, and still have significant questions and points of confusion.

Please open the system all the way if you truly want to make it a community hiding some of the parts behind a pay wall doesn't send the message that you want this to be a community. I will happily tip you when I use the system. My workspace is not organized enough to justify building the system yet but I would like to tinker with the system in the mean time and invest my time into developing parts that people might find interesting. Yes you invested a lot into the system and it shows. But if this truly becomes a community then the community will out invest you in short order and make things better than you alone can. Please open all the parts including the configurable bins and publish a white paper with the design rules and fundamentals that will allow people to design the features from scratch. Just offering remix options is not enough to foster a community. Please don't try to play both sides. If your videos are entertaining or highly informative then you will find patrons a plenty but the multiboard system is better suited to a transaction based cost. Asking for a tip when printing a large system is totally reasonable and I will happily tip you $10 when I end up printing a system. Until then show us that you want this to be an open and thriving community by being as open and transparent as possible.

dude the tolerances are too tight, I can only make fit the snpas ahmmering them. And whats with 4 piece snap? there is no way A part fits with the B. I feel this need better introduction cuz I get lost in the explanations you give while explaingn somethign else, and test proof other random stuff....

With the free alternative I can’t see why anyone would pay $120/year for this project. Don’t get me wrong I have pay Patreon for other creators but that’s because they give me a multitude of different project

Only cost 120bucks a year.
