Well done! It looks stronger compared to other designs. Great work!

[@MrExo_3D]

@@chaymber_crafts I believe it is. I’m actually going to do some load tests to failure to compare them in very curious about it

[@felixman9691]

Dude PERFECT timing! Thanks! I’m getting a new printer and putting my workshop in an organized state for the first time in years. Subscribed.

[@ntercrs1]

These look amazing, I am glad I have not started printing any wall systems yet! TY!

[@foxrick]

Printed and tested it, it's STRONG. My heavier tools and drawers won't be loose like all the other wall systems. Awesomely Strong, thanks for designing it !

[@chrislambe400]

Wow so much effort and parametric too. Thanks dude. And cool name and logo. You should call the cleat shelving system Cleatus. Give Hands on Katie a shout - she would love this and would probably do a vid or a good mention.

[@MrExo_3D]

Cleatus. I like that.. took me way to long to settle on a name.! :)

[@evanbarnes9984]

Hands on Katie would for sure love this

[@DeveloperChris]

@@evanbarnes9984 Yeah she loves the innuendo's and Cleatus would tickle her umm fancy

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

It's definitely not as material efficient as some of the others, but that also tends to make things stronger, so a bit of an exchange

[@djangodoescomputer]

Best version of this type of wall mounting tech ive seen yet. Great job.

[@amasolini]

Awesome design, I was looking for something like this, specially considering other wall grid systems feel weak. One recommendation I will give you, and apologies if the parametric files already do something like this, is to also design and provide flat sides and corners so we can build entire walls with this. Thanks a lot for making it!

[@MrExo_3D]

[@TheButchersbLock]

Brilliant design mate 👍

[@ylexot007]

It doesn't look like the screw lock really needs a head at all. It just needs to be longer than the thickness of the grid to prevent the cleat part from lifting up. Then you can just put a Phillips/flat head screwdriver inset into the screw for install/removal. Also, reminds me of Milwaukee Packout mounts...

[@MrExo_3D]

@@ylexot007 bolt serves two purposes. It does prevent lifting but also holds the top of the hanger plate from pulling forward

[@markswayne6326]

These look really great. I am curious how the strength of this compares with the strength of other options like honeycomb and multiboard.

[@jdl3408]

This is very cool! I’ll print some to test.

[@xr043]

This very promising, way less complex then multiboard! If you got do a more indept review video that would be awesome

[@Adrian_Galilea]

Genius, I think this is the best approach. Skadis type systems are awful to 3d print, french cleat angle is perfect for 3d printing. However, in order for it to be over engineered it needs magnets in exchange for the screws :P. Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@MrExo_3D]

@@Adrian_Galilea hmm you make a good point perhaps an overly elaborate magnet fastener would be a nice addition

[@samgendler]

Needs a channel to run LEDs in. If I'm hanging a big grid on my wall, it definitely needs to hide LEDs

[@terryevans1976]

Very nice!!

[@willofthemaker]

Very nice 👍 you should show more examples of it in use to get more excitement for it

[@benh2322]

Man I love the look and the concept, but it's going to take forever to print enough of these for my new workshop. It would be amazing if this could be stack printed

[@MrExo_3D]

it can be stack printed. I have stack files ready to go. and other video that briefly mentions it

[@benh2322]

@@MrExo_3D Oh! I stand corrected. Thank you!

[@dr3d3d]

this looks great, need some filament usage numbers vs multiboard, at first glance it seems this would use a lot more however is that true when you factor in fasteners etc?

[@MrExo_3D]

I havent done a direct comparison. would be interesting to see how it actually plays out. but just comparing the tiles yes GOEWS needs more plastic.. I did make a Lite version thats 22% less tho. will try and do a comparison

[@MrExo_3D]

I just did a quick comparison. between a Multiboard 9x9 tile with 4 Single Snaps A&B in each corner. which is the min needed to mount one to a wall by itself. and it was a total of 115g and 4hr51m vs a GOEWS 5x6 tile. (sizes are almost the same) which was 127g and 4hr35m. which is very comparable. if I instead used the Lite GOEWS tiles. the filament use drops to 100g and time to 4h24min.

[@andrewh2000]

@@MrExo_3D GOEWS also feels lower density in terms of mounting points though for the same area of wall covered so that factors into the comparison. I like it and I like the standardised from the start insert everything from the front and bolt lock from the front aspect so I'll probably use it going forward. That's something that has annoyed me about multiboard - to make certain things strong you have to bolt lock them from the back, and you've already screwed the tiles to the wall. And let's face it - we wouldn't be 3d printing all the things if we worried about how much filament we're using.

[@MrExo_3D]

@ agreed I never liked the rear mounting options. Doesn’t make sense. It’s fine if you over plan from the start but hard to change it up as you go. I had printed like 20 tiles of multiboard . I still have some mounted to a few walls, but what really bothered me was the license and meshed cad files. I’m glad people seem to like the idea of GOEWS.

[@renxula]

Looks useful! Just one thought: is it printable face down? I'd rather hide the ugly top surface of the print, and see the textured bottom surface.

[@ajciccone88]

That would be nice, looking at the file i am guessing it's not, at least not without some support. Would be time consuming for many whereas regular printing can just be stacked.

[@ig4a]

Shooooot, I just started to print multiboards as I couldn’t find anything for gridfinity I could use 😢. This is very cool 😎. I got to go print your tiles now 🤣

[@CaptMedfrag]

This is me too 😂

[@DevinJuularValentine]

Same I just finished my last tile for multiboard... I'm basically two spools deep... If I'd seen this sooner I'd have gone for it 😢😢

[@ChibaUnu]

Awesome idea. The printables link in the description seems to be broken though

[@MrExo_3D]

Thanks, I have fixed the link

[@petermarin]

You’re awesome

[@evanbarnes9984]

I like it a lot! I think I might set this up at my work. Why did you go for hexagonal tiling rather than rectangular? Is it to make it compatible with another system?

[@MrExo_3D]

i played around with a half dozen ideas but I just like the look of a hexagon better. But at the same time I need the advantage of keeping it a straight grid. considering offering tiles in that config as well.

[@BrainSlugs83]

Not over engineered enough. Those gridfinity cleat shelves don't have magnets in them.

[@dzltron]

Yet. Hurray open source

[@trappedinroom1014]

Do these panels clip together to make a bigger wall system, or is that something that’s maybe in the pipeline? It looks amazing by the way, and keeping it open source will naturally propel its popularity (and hopefully your YT channel too). I’ve just added it to my future prints list, lol! 🙂👍🏻💕

[@MrExo_3D]

@@trappedinroom1014 the panels butt together but are not physically attached to each other , just the wall. I do have parts designed to join them but they aren’t really needed. But yes this does mean many fasteners in the wall. Considered ways to clip them. But I didn’t want this system to be stuck requiring all kinds of tiny parts to just work

[@trappedinroom1014]

@ There’s a lot of potential with them that’s for sure. I’ve just watched your stacking video alternating the PLA with the PETG as the separate layer…an absolutely brilliant idea. 🙂👍🏻💕
