I made some pliers holders that aligner perpendicularly to the wall

I made some pliers holders that aligner perpendicularly to the wall

I did not like how the typical peg took up so much horizontal space. I designed these simple hangers to hold my craftsmen pliers set. (It is still a work in progress).

openGrid specification?

I've been diving pretty hard into openGrid, Deskware, Underware 2.0, etc this past weekend and largely feel like it's the piece that's been missing for me with GridFinity for getting my desk and workbench organized. One thing that I've been looking around for and haven't managed to find yet: is there any kind of spec like https://gridfinity.xyz/specification/ for any of these?

I've found most of the OpenSCAD files and have successfully used them to customize DeskWare to better fit my desk. Now I'm getting closer to putting together some custom parts for both my DeskWare top plate and my planned oG tool wall, but I haven't been able to find any spec to go off of. I'm not opposed to picking up OpenSCAD again (I used it a fair bit about a decade ago), but I have a bunch of designs already in Fusion 360 and have also been really getting into Python+Build123d (I write a lot of Python code every day and am very comfortable there).

I'm mentally preparing myself to work through the OpenSCAD code for all of this stuff to reverse engineer a spec for it, but if that already exists I'd love to just use it. Is there a link or GitHub repo or something that I'm just missing in my search so far?

Best way to split oversized MultiConnect shelf?

Trying to print a MultiConnect shelf from BlackjackDuck’s generator for OpenGrid. Shelf size is around 560mm wide x 105mm deep, so it will not fit on a printer (H2C) bed.

Right now I am cutting it in Bambu Studio and planning to glue the halves together after printing. Before I go too far, is there an easier or better way to do this?

Does the BlackjackDuck generator have any option to automatically split the shelf in the middle for printing? I did not see anything like that in the model maker, so wanted to ask in case I missed it.

Thought I'd share my openGrid setup in the form of a vertical video

I'm building out a hacker/tinkerer workshop space for my new business and when I first saw the openGrid project, I knew I had to have it on my entire wall. As I'm getting a bit more serious with making videos I wanted something functional but also to add something visually cool to the back of my shots, let me know how you think it turned out :)

Underware 2.0 wrapping around countertop

Is there a part of a system which leads cable from the bottom of the countertop to the top?
For example there's monitor on the desk but cables go at the back of a desk to the underware grid.

Full with Screwholes

Apologies if this is written somewhere, I looked but can't find it. I want the full board as I'm planning to utilize underware and I'm not sure the lite or snaps would be strong enough. However, I can't find a print profile on makerworld from the designer that meets this criteria. Am I missing something? Do all the full plates come with screw holes? Or do I have to go with the lite version if I want built-in screw holes?

Anyone successfully doing stacked OpenGrid PETG prints with PLA interface on Bambu?

Trying to print stacked 8x8 OpenGrid tiles on a Bambu H2C using PETG for the tiles and PLA as the interface layer. Single tile prints fine. Stacked prints keep failing in different ways. So far I’ve tried:

  • slower speeds/acceleration
  • brim + glue
  • cleaned plate with dish soap
  • 70C first layer then 65C
  • tuned top layers/walls
  • closed chamber

Main issue now is the PLA interface eventually turns into spaghetti during the second stack. Earlier I also had lifting/warping on the same side of the plate repeatedly.

At this point I’m not sure if this is:

  • a bed/chamber issue
  • PLA interface temp issue
  • or just pushing stacked PETG prints too far on larger tiles

Anyone have a stable setup for stacked OpenGrid prints?

Accidentally printed openGdrid tiles with 2 wall loops instead of 3

As the titles says, I’m planning to use these tiles for underware and wanted to know if I can use these tiles as-is or do I need to reprint them. I want to mount a 5 hole power strip and a mac mini on these tiles. If anyone has experience with this, please help. I’m still new to opengrid and this is one of my first projects

Master Bath Closet Makeover

I finally finished the makeover of my bathroom closet. I'm embarrassed to show the before, but it's a nice comparison with the after. I had already removed one box full of stuff before I remembered to take the picture, so that's why there's an empty spot on one shelf. Believe me, it was a mess!

Before

This project took approximately 6-7 weeks of printing all day and night, with the exception of a few hours a day when it would finish printing while sleeping and then starting it back up once I was awake. I didn't keep an accurate account of rolls of filament used, but I'm guessing that it took about 7 white and 3 blue.

After

I love how I can now just look in and find exactly what I need rather than thinking it was in one box and rooting through it, only to find it was in another box. It was also good in that I went through everything and threw a kitchen trash can worth away.

Baskets to hold extra stuff.

One side

The other side -- this side holds all the cleaning supplies

I used a lot of the tile and bin generators to make most of the containers. There were a few things that I had to convert the attachment part so it would work with the openGrid. Everything fit back inside with the exception of my extra towels. I used JonnyDev13's baskets for extra items and Witty_Name_2_Come's corner filler.

Taking time to make some fun stuff before I tackle my kitchen drawers!

Bambu Studio/OpenGrid stacking question — interface layer imports as one object instead of separate bodies

Trying to print stacked OpenGrid tiles using the BlackJackDuck parametric generator with PETG tiles and PLA interface layer between them. But when I open the generated 3MF in Bambu Studio, it shows as one object with multiple colors instead of separate objects/bodies, so I am confused how to properly assign PETG to tiles and PLA only to the interface layer.

Also got some weird slicing/interface artifacts earlier. Is this normal with the generator? Or are people manually stacking single tiles in Bambu Studio instead?

Eventually I want to do 5 or 6 stack prints to save time. Is there a recommended stack height people usually stick to on the H2C?

Attaching screenshot of the parametric generator settings and screenshot from Bambu Studio showing it imports as one object in case someone can spot if I messed up a setting . Can also share 3MF file if needed

I made an opengrid holder for my Makita drills

I prefer my drills to be held like this for aligned grabbing.

This is version 3 where I added a small detent so the direction buttons have a place to nest.

Oversized because version 1 was too bouncy for my taste.

Decided to dry fit my panels before screwing them to the walls.

Weeks of printing on my bed slinger and the panels are finally ready to go up. Figured it was a good idea to make sure they all fit before making it "permanent". A lot more holders and things to print before it's all done. I mean, is it ever "all done"?
