#multibuild — Public Fediverse posts

Yet another #Multiboard remix to scratch my own itch! This time, it's a nub for holding my metal ruler. The #FreeCAD project is parametric, so you can change the size of the nub to fit other objects as you see fit.

There were a couple of other options already out there that I had been trying for a little while, but they used the "small thread" (peg board hole) connection, and they were just too small for my liking. I wanted something that took up more visual space so that it is more obvious to me when something isn't in its place. This also lets me mount it flush with the Multiboard plate, which pleases me. 🙏

@XyphoidProcess And for the record, I despise Thangs... I'm mostly on it because a.) That's where #Multibuild lives and b.) I'm trying to avoid the very common scenario where people upload someone else's model because it doesn't exist on the site they use, and they get all the credit for it.

I want to like #Multibuild so, so bad, but the license, the absolute dogshit documentation, the bewildering mountain of parts, and the audacity to charge a monthly fee for a handful of simple generators is really putting me off. I understand that the monthly membership price is supposed to be a show of support for a developing product, but it's been "developing" for years and there's basically zero (official) path to take getting started. There are even errors in some of the STL files on Thangs that render pieces useless because they won't fit into their designated slot.

I've been eyeballing #OpenGrid, which I initially wrote off as poorly expanded and too structurally weak initially; I have been watching some YouTube videos about OpenGrid and folks' setups with it, and it seems like it is more capable than I had originally thought, even if it doesn't have a library of blessed expansions like drawers and bins (it leans on #Gridfinity for that).

What are some of you #3DPrinting folks out there using, and why? I'm *not* interested in HSW (Honeycomb Storage Wall), and yes, I've done research already. Are you going with Multiboard in spite of its drawbacks, and if so, how has that journey been so far? I want to reiterate that I am *incredibly* satisfied with what I've been able to build with it, but it feels closed down and either abandoned or at least left by the wayside while the creator pursues commercial opportunities for it (which feels like abandoning the community that made it popular).

Couple of lil' cuties for helping my daughter choose a colorway for the #Multibuild setup we're going to screw into the side of her dresser drawers. She chose the purple shell. #3DPrinting

I have now discovered #Multibuild and #Gridfinity. Have mercy upon my poor soul. #3DPrinting
