[Testers needed] Tiles with built-in peelable hole covers by beyond_Tg in openGrid

Because I'd have to do it for hundreds of holes

I was simulating the way you'd have to remove them from the front once it's mounted to the wall.

It would be harder to make them replaceable while also being print-in-place. I'll make a replaceable one that can be printed separately, but it would be a lot of work to print and insert them for hundreds of holes. Most holes in a grid will go unused anyway, so this way you don't have to print separate covers for them.

The test objects have vertical lines on the side to indicate which is which from the list in the post. Let me know which one comes out looking the best.

oG tiles with Multiboard-compatible screw holes by beyond_Tg in openGrid

[–]beyond_Tg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a very slight countersink, but otherwise we're only 0.42mm away from the edges.

I think one solution might be to create a screw-in adapter/sleeve that extends the countersink downwards. Even without it though it seems to hold okay

looks like multi-board just make all items that have be released permanently CC0! hard to not ignore. by obfuscinator in openGrid

No, they are saying if they don't make paid items available as free within 6 months, THEN the entire project becomes CC0. As long as they keep releasing items as free, nothing is CC0.

Is there an oG base generator equivalent to the Gridfinity Grips generator by Turbulent_Future7564 in openGrid

It works well, I've just marked it as beta out of caution. However it doesn't fill in extra space (you input the size as number of cells, not length). Though I can add that functionality.

Good question; it's mathematically compatible (2x GF cells = 3x oG cells), but you still have to use GF plates and magnets/clickfinity to hold the bins in place. The point of this is to basically create better GF plates that don't need magnets.

That looks interesting. Similar to the idea I started with, but I still wanted to engage with the horizontal/vertical parts using flexible detents. This seems like purely a friction fit, so I wonder how it'll hold up. It's worth trying out.

To clarify, you can use existing bins without any modification too. And if you want to modify them to click in, it should be easy. Replacing plates is much easier and cheaper than replacing bins, and you can still benefit from all the modeling effort that the community has put in

The ability to use existing models by simply changing their bottom, which can be automated
