r/Multiboard

After months of trying to get it figured out. Finally a member.

When I use the pro build generator for multi-board plates, I get weird results in the print that is a hole all the way through the board. See the image. Anyone else have this issue?

I designed this as a space-saver for the already compact FNIRSI DPS-150 Programmable Power Supply. It's more comfortable for me to be able to tilt the power supply upwards and lift the screen for better access to the banana plug ports and the adjustment scroll wheel.

The arm to the board ratchets up and down with a simple print-in-place mechanism (just give the arms a firm squeeze together after printing and it snaps into functionality)

Assembly is straight forward with four M3 screws attaching the holder to the arms (I don't often use screws but, in this case, it was a lot less fiddly and trimmed down the amount of print required) and the rest uses the standard Multiboard bolt lock onto a snap (I prefer the moderate weight bearing snap as it tends to stay in place properly).

A few days ago I noticed that there's an ongoing contest on Printables for Geared Spinners, so I got inspired and created CLIPGEAR!

CLIPGEAR is an infinitely^(1) expandable, modular gear system. Snap the bases together, clip the gears on, and build your own complex contraptions - or simply use it as a fidget!

Check it out on Printables here.

Suggestions and requests are very welcome!

^(1. Physics will likely challenge the "infinitely" argument.)

My multiboard for my lathe, electronics assembly, and 3D printer maker space is finally coming along.

I plan to run multiboard on the back of a steel storage rack (like the one in the image) but I'm nearly 100% certain that the rack connector snaps I made for the edges simply won't be strong enough to prevent a ton of flex and wobble in the center even with dual and quad snaps in place. Any ideas on how I could reinforce it all without needing to screw or nail it in to something?

I was thinking of possibly finding or designing a snap that has a connection for a thick dowel rod and running that across the top and bottom with multiple connections to the board to hopefully stiffen the system.
