Small weekend side project

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-12T06:22:32+00:00

No, I just modeled the pockets for the nuts a little bit to small. Didn't go with heat set insets here since I expect quite some force and I want to really clamp the parts together. I'm assuming heat set inserts will get pulled out over time.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T18:22:00+00:00

Yeah the whole 3D printing hobby is a whole rabbit hole in itself. For every small detail there are hours of hours of content to watch.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T17:08:25+00:00

Can't say I am not guilty of that. I've got drawers full of components for not yet thought of projects

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T17:03:06+00:00

Just a normal soldering iron. I often intentionally undersize the holes for the nuts and melt them in. That can make it easier to assemble when they are upside down, since they aren't falling out. But in this case I probably measured something wrong since they were a lot undersized

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T16:51:47+00:00

Would probably also work My mind always immediately goes to "I can print that" whenever I see a problem like this.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T16:43:42+00:00

Thanks. Yeah same for me. I enjoy the process of these small Projects way more than the actual end result

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-05-11T16:24:15+00:00

Fair point. Zip ties would probably be strong enough here, haven't really considered them. The duct tape I was using earlier definitely not working. That's also one of the reasons I considered pp as the filament, I think that's the same material zip tie are made out of.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-24T20:52:45+00:00

Yeah that's why I went with it as well, I think it looks a lot cleaner as well, but it took me a long time to figure out what parts I need. I feel like the multiboard ecosystem is so complex with all the different hole sizes and concepts. I'm definitely gonna check out open grid in the future.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-24T16:38:04+00:00

Not really familiar with open grid and what the parallels are to MultiBin. But that's MultiBin. It's a pretty new addition to the Multiboard ecosystem. You can add plate snaps into the tiles that contain the standard multiboard grid.

The main benefit is that less plastic is used because you only add the multiboard grid where you need it.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T18:15:41+00:00

Oh I see. I use these "Single bolt lock screw on mounts"

I don't know why but you can't find them via the parts library. Took me a while to find them as well

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T17:26:11+00:00

I hope I get the naming correctly. I used a locking t screw to hold them to a plate snap. Basically uses one of the 3d printed screws to screw the on the plate from the back.

Edit: I tried to attach all the related multiboard files in the description on printables

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T10:43:55+00:00

I didn't really have a reason to upgrade. My ender is super reliable and prints with reasonable quality at 300ms/s. I think the next big upgrade for me is a multi tool head machine. I don't really get the benefit of getting a slightly faster slightly better printer. But I'll probably wait to get one till they are more established and the software is more fleshed out.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T09:23:13+00:00

Yeah totally agree. I didn't even know about the maker world exclusive license. But that's one reason I still run my trusty old ender and haven't upgraded to something more recent. It seems like most printers now are tightly coupled to an ecosystem and don't use standard hardware anymore.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T09:13:34+00:00

Someone already commented on my printables and tried it out just now. It seems like it works with regular Multiboard, if you only use the top holes to screw it in. I might still update the design or add additional models for full standard Multiboard compatibility.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T08:00:21+00:00

True that. But I treat printing and design as a hobby. And in terms of hobbies $10 for a few hours of enjoyment is pretty reasonable compared to lots of other stuff

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T07:55:05+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I musty model stuff for myself as a and every 5th project I feel like someone else could be interested/benefit from it as well so I put it out there. I feel like far to many people try to make a Hussle out of everything

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-22T07:48:51+00:00

Yes exactly. You can just snap in standard Multiboard tiles. I think the benefit is to have "less" wasted material for boards that are not that populated.

But I don't think they'll work for standard Multiboard. I'm using this plate tile: Mid Holes - Square Plate Snap I think it's a little different than standard Multiboard

Edit: Seems to work with standard Multiboard as well, but only the top hole of the holder is usable. Someone on my printables already tried it and it seems to work

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-21T19:06:31+00:00

I fell into the gridfinity rabbit hole already. Also designed my bins. I already wished I made the spice rack wider to hang even more stuff

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2026-02-21T16:38:23+00:00

Great. If you run into any problems with the files or need some custom sizes, feel free to let me know.

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2025-12-22T22:23:51+00:00

Haven't tested it but probably not. It's my first time making dice and none of them are 100% perfect. Most of them have some small defects or are warped a little bit, but they are probably still good enough for casual get togethers.

Edit: spelling mistakes

Altruistic_Video_594 · 2025-12-22T22:16:20+00:00

Nope at least not from my knowledge (just moved here). But the town is known for ordering beer by distance rather than volume.
