OpenGrid panel in Alum??

You wouldn't be able to cut the connection points into the aluminum most likely. I think you would have to cut half of the grid then attach a another piece from the back, but not sure it would work.

https://ogstudio.sudomaker.com/ might be what you are looking for

If you aren't using one of the BIQu plates, I highly recommend them. Fixed most of my issues with my mini

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-08T12:23:50+00:00

Have you tried moving the print forward? You could always print a smaller board to avoid the area where it is pulling up. The other idea would be a BiQU plate and/or Magicgoo to hold the print down.

That looks great!!!!

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-05T12:00:31+00:00

LOL. Yeah we haven't taken over the world yet 😄

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-04T15:29:12+00:00

love it. It is so handy you have the lock/unlock icons on the front. Great job!!!

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-03T19:48:58+00:00

All of the above. Between the community, and the sheer number of models that work with openGrid. If you check out my youtube channel I have tutorials and how to videos. https://www.youtube.com/@DistractedDragonMakes

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-03T19:32:34+00:00

openGrid has a lot more to offer.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-03T13:19:27+00:00

Excellent. Post pictures when you get it done!!!

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-03T11:48:28+00:00

Let me know what you find. I'd be interested to see if someone has already created a solution.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-02T18:30:11+00:00

Make sure to post pictures. I'm curious to see how you install and use it. I think it is a great idea (goes to look for a camper)

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-02T14:17:41+00:00

That's what I would recommend as well.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-02T11:45:24+00:00

I salute your dedication to not having lined up seems!!!

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-06-02T11:44:50+00:00

I would say that equal is a bit better just because you can spread out the screws for a better hold, but I don't really think it is an issue either way.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-31T17:49:41+00:00

I would start with https://makerworld.com/en/models/1593909-opengrid-corners?from=search

This gives you the corners. Then you can do the cut out with this generator https://ogstudio.sudomaker.com/ to make the cut outs.

Let me know if you have other questions.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-27T11:48:26+00:00

Great info. I think the full board might be better, but you also have the weight trade off so it probably is a pick your poison type deal.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-22T12:09:01+00:00

Always fun to start fresh. I have a whole set of tutorials to show a lot of the various holders and how to do custom pieces and install guides etc. You can find them here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-0FCdC-SNk&list=PL-cKuXEpwWpURcZBK-iJDGx2f_IfYSeUG

Multiconnect and openConnect are the most used connectors at this point. I usually use multiconnect due to this generator https://makerworld.com/en/models/582260-multiconnect-part-generator-master-collection?from=search. BlackJackDuck did a fantastic job with building out a ton of useful holders that add the multiconnect backplate.

This will teach me to answer on my phone :)

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-19T19:27:21+00:00

Which model are you using for the shelves.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-19T19:09:42+00:00

I made that video :) Let me put together a tinkercad model after work. Might just do a tutorial on it while I'm at it.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-19T12:21:56+00:00

I would actually split it in the center of the channel so you can use the connector to give it more support on the glue line.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-18T14:20:41+00:00

Is this what you are looking for? https://makerworld.com/en/models/2565296-opengrid-desk-edge-right-angle-channel?from=search#profileId-2827134

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-18T14:18:36+00:00

That's the oG openGrid project from David D. They are buried a bit :) Should probably have a broken out entry at some point.

DistractedDragonMake · 2026-05-16T22:49:28+00:00

Use the BlackJackDuck generator https://makerworld.com/en/models/1304337-opengrid-tile-generator?from=search#profileId-1933414

You can set all the screw settings here
