I started playing with this system this past week and am really loving the system, but have to admit that there are SO MANY parts that make it a bit difficult at times to figure out what connector/bin/pop-in, etc. you need for a job. Also, for the bins, I would really love to see some bins with just rails on one side. Currently you have only two options - a simple bin with no multi-point rails on the sides, and a a bin with multi-point rails all around. The bins with the rails all around take a really long time to print! For most of what I'm trying to do, I really just need the rails on one side. Or hey, maybe you can work on a parametric generator that lets you pick which sides you would like the rails one. Just some ideas. On the flip side, the sheer number of parts and options really does allow for endless possibilities once you figure out how everything works... which can take some time!
The issue with all of these very modular systems is that a) it feels a little like asking a stadium full of people what to name your baby and getting 50,000 answers. Analysis paralysis kicks in and it's very easy to go nowhere at all. Another is that because it is o well designed to be so modular, many parts are full of things and parts that we never actually use which is fine, except that typically it adds a ton of print time or worse, filament to a print. Modularity is great but inevitably once we find a home for things, they tend to stay there. You'll find plenty of remixes of things for that exact reason. You want a bin with just a single rail on one side, someone's probably done it already for the same reason you want it.
These are amazing. I've been printing deep into multiboard stuff lately and I love it. The thing I want the most are drawers that can be clipped closed. I know my need is specific, but I want to use it almost like a tackle box and bring it places with me and the stuff inside be safe in transport. Tackleboxes still let little stuff move since it's like "1 lid" Be my hero.
Interesting. It's definitely something we want to investigate more. You can use magnets to help keep everything relatively secure, but it's not quite a "lock". Definitely on our list for future development!
Since everything is based on screwing and clicking, Why not make the drawers click in place when closed? Generally a very good idea If you want to create a small toolbox or similar.
The one thing about this is that I feel like it could be optimized a bit like with the multiband system the dividers have the pins to lock them in we have to have two different size pins the outer wall in for the inner wall when you could easily just have the one for the inner wall work for the outer wall
Could you do a short video on the bin connectors? When I take mine off the printers, I try to unfold them and they just end up breaking in half. I'm not sure how you are getting yours to act as a hinge. Even just a RUclips short on it would be super helpful.
We've recently found that the slicer settings have a lot more effect on the folding than expected. If you don't mind, try posting a picture of your sliced files (first layer or so) on the community website and I can help look into the issue! Some materials also just aren't so friendly to the folding sadly.
@@stellasfun Thanks! I tried a different filament and it worked. I had a roll of some PLA Silk that I'll never use for anything and I was using it to test with. Turns out it doesn't like to fold and hinge. I printed with some standard PLA and it folded as expected.
the little multipoint screws with the living hinges are very problematic. you can't get a consistent hinge with PLA. might need some tweaking. the hinges are ok for stuff like the pop-ins, but with the threaded bits it's a lot worse.
Ya it was quite interesting seeing that pop up while in development. In fact, there have been a few. Check out the announcement post to see all the other great makers who were designing things I was already working on: community.multiboard.io/c/announcements/multipoint-is-here-start-printing-now

@@iDreamOfOkra I could build a lesser version for sure

I love when things don't exactly go as planned (drawer popping out) call it "Death by demo". Happens to me a LOT!
Just found this. I think this will be huge. If it's as good as it looks I'm signing up. Nice that you give almost everything for free to try it.
this is such a brilliant system, thank you
You are a genius!

"So much room for activities!"
"Before we dive into the deep end" Omg this isn't already the deep end!?
Ikea must have done this guy wrong. This is revenge at its very best.
the learning kit file I just downloaded didn't have the slim/thin multipoint connectors 🤔
Same, I counted all 10 and they all had the 4 arrows on them.
Can I assume, because it flexes, the best filament to use is PTGE vice PLA?

you have linked incorrect multipoint plate in your website. it is the single sided one and not double

9:16 "O, X, and I" Hmm, just a thought but... is "I" half of an X? Perhaps it should be called a "v" since v is the top half of an x 😁
how do you connect the tiles together if you've got 4 6x6 tiles?
ruclips.net/video/j6Jl53Ie6nI/видео.htmlsi=JTf8QXtlPuSNBolm This is the video on the basic Multiboard setup. Your answer is in this video.
is there any multibin with a round buttom to easily grab small parts?
We have inserts with scooped edges at their bottoms, as well as "bowl" style inserts that have a round cavity.
What do I need the panel for if I have the multiboard already? I didn’t see anything the panel does the board doesn’t. What am I missing?
I assume it's a mobile multiboard. If you don't see the advantage of that it's ok. I have uses for it.
@@duduvec5971 Thanks for the thought. I truly didn't understand...
Adult Legos!
Is there a bin and drawer generator?
Can't seem to find it.
We don't currently have a generator, but it's in the works!
Your multipoint looks just like the multiconnect.

It's much smaller than Multiconnect.
I think it’s better anyway
@@timcash6372 why do you think its better?
@@timcash6372 why is that?
