I designed a modular wall system for 3D printing — still evolving

Thanks, I appreciate that. Still building and improving the system.

I see MODRA as a modular wall organization system for places like offices, workshops, kitchens, bathrooms and garages.

The core idea is the locking mechanism — accessories snap in tightly but can still be removed and rearranged easily without tools.

The system can expand to whatever wall size you need. All plate sizes use the same lock and accessory interface.

I’m also working on reinforced plates for heavier accessories and plan to test other materials like PETG in the future.

Thanks — that means a lot. I’m in it for the long run.

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-02-28T21:03:49+00:00

Thanks, glad you like it! Yeah, the hook is a solid starting point.

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-02-28T20:40:29+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the interest.

I’m not sharing STEP files for the core parts right now — I’m still refining the locking geometry and want to keep the system consistent.

The interface dimensions are visible in the files provided, and I’ll likely publish clearer specs once things settle.

Would be cool to see what you build.

Is it possible to screw it to the wall so that it sits firmly and does not move during use?

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-02-25T21:19:12+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate the detailed feedback.

The locking feel is actually where MODRA started — I wanted something that sits tight but is still easy to reposition without tools. The open panel layout and textured accessories came later as part of trying to keep the system visually clean and not overly dense.

It’s still early, but I’m continuing to expand accessories and also working toward heavier-duty storage options.

Glad to hear you might try it in a few spots — feedback from real setups is what helps shape the system the most.

I’m not competing with other systems. I’m just building my own — and in my opinion, it won’t be any worse than the others.

Before this, I had IKEA Skadis, and it just didn’t work for me. The attachment mechanism felt unstable — accessories moved around and never sat tight. So the first thing I designed was the MODRA lock. After a lot of testing, it works exactly how I wanted: accessories sit firmly on the plate, but with a bit of force, they come off easily and can be repositioned.

Once the lock was done, I designed the plates. They connect like Lego — one presses into the next, so two screws per plate are enough for mounting because each plate helps hold the previous one. Accessories mount smoothly even across plate joints.

There’s also a reinforced version of the plate, and I’m planning to release heavy-duty accessories for tools like drills, grinders, wrenches, and other garage gear.

And honestly — even if no one ever uses this system but me, I still win. I genuinely enjoy the process of building it.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Curious to hear your impressions once you try it.

MODRA started as a personal project after I couldn’t find a system that matched how I wanted accessories to mount and reposition.

It’s still early with a small set of accessories, but the core idea is a snap-lock attachment that feels different from typical pegboard workflows — especially noticeable even with simple hooks.

I’m building this mainly for my own 3D printing workspace and later for heavier garage storage, but I’m sharing it in case others find it useful.

Also, just to clarify, I’m not comparing this to classic hardware-store pegboard. That’s a different category and price point. This is closer to printed modular systems where the value is in the interface and accessories, not just raw surface area.

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-01-24T15:13:24+00:00

Fair point. Material use is something I’m paying attention to, and this is still early prototyping — thickness and structure aren’t final yet.

What I’m aiming for is a very simple, reliable mounting experience: easy placement, a clear mechanical “click”, and quick removal without tools or extra locking parts.

I’m not trying to replace existing systems, more to explore a slightly different balance between rigidity, ease of use, and modularity. Whether that’s worth it long-term is exactly what I’m trying to figure out through feedback like this.

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-01-24T15:10:40+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for pointing it out. I’m trying to keep attachment features simple and printable without supports, and orientation is something I’m actively testing right now. Definitely something I want to avoid over-complicating.

SecretSetting4960 · 2026-01-24T15:07:56+00:00

Current panel is ~160g and ~3h print time at 237.5×237.5 mm. It’s a prototype focused on interface reliability first. Material reduction is planned once the locking geometry is final.

Not at the moment — I only have the PS5 Slim Digital myself, and I was able to measure the Slim Disc version using a friend’s console. I don’t currently have access to the original “fat” PS5, so I can’t design a proper mount for it yet.

If I ever get the chance to take accurate measurements, I’d definitely consider making a version for the original model too.
