Is This 3D Printed Tool Wall The Next Gridfinity?

[@thenextlayer]

Thanks for watching! If you liked the video, a "like" and a comment would be great... sharing it with friends would be AWESOME :)

[@arci0tus]

Hi. thanks for all your incredible content! where do we find your designs? did I miss the links to your remixes, ideas, etc? printables?

[@phillywonkaCa]

OMG I had the honeycomb frame backwards as well! I am so glad I watched this video... now the system actually works!

[@thenextlayer]

YESSS that's what we're here for

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I've been printing hexes for my wall for 2 weeks now, lol. Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) I've already seen all these. Too bad I didn't wait a couple weeks before surfing the 600 models on my own. Love the hex system!

[@thenextlayer]

Lol nice thanks

[@TerraMagnus]

It’s taking me about 2 hours per panel to print each panel in black ABS on a Bambu Lab P1S (sport mode). I feel like if I had the AMS I could have printed off a tall stack of them overnight by putting a layer of breakaway support material between each panel. Now I’m cranking out connectors and wall mounts (another 2 hours or so). Really looking forward to putting this up on the wall!

[@DavidHolden15911855]

I really love my HSW - once I saw the original video it was moved to the top of my print list once I got my 3d printer. I've since gotten it all mounted and it has been a great addition to my 3D print workspace. So keep these coming, I could always use more idea's of items to print for my HSW

[@thenextlayer]

Great to hear!

[@SnifterRoux]

Is PLA fine to use, or should I opt for some other filament like PETG?

[@HowardPrice]

I’m just loving your videos. So many great tips and ideas. I’m hoping you can help me. I’ve just started down the path of printing Multiboard grids and I’m a little horrified by how long an 8x8 grid is taking to print. Running well over 3 hours on my M5 using the fast setting. Do you think HSW grids would be faster to print at that size? Thanks again for the great content. Now I’m going back to continue binging on it 😂

I just shared the honeycomb wall project with my coworkers a few weeks ago. It's great stuff! ...I also used it backwards are first 😆

[@domistark]

easier to put on the connectors right ? is it hard just for me not sure if my printer is off or its this way

[@Alluvian567]

You admit to installing the wall wrong, but then do not cover wall installation at all?

[@henrydendorf4847]

It’s easy to install, just put it on your wall however you like: screwing it on, gluing, taping and hanging

[@c.j.clifford5899]

It’s not as easy as just putting it on the wall. It has to be put on the wall with the correct side out.

[@karrotop]

Just don't get it backwards 😛

[@trancextend]

I will definitely use this!!

[@bradymiddleditch5727]

I can't seem to find the countersunk to hole STL file?

[@FredDeckerNC]

I thought I had it right, but now not sure. A. How do you verify you have the the right way? I believe the "catch" or tab on the grid is away from you, which hold the nibs or tabs on the inserts which also faces away from you. B. Do you have to use PETG? I just can't work with the stuff. But I think more flexible, soft filament is probably a lot better than PLA. That said, C. Any tips for getting the tolerance right? I am experimenting, but the first round, I can snap them in, but once locked, there is not getting them out without breaking everything. Once option may be a jig in a matching honeycomb pattern to act as a "bang ring". The "ring" or honeycomb of 1 to 4 openings a little bigger than the inserts goes under the upside-down grid. Then a jig (6 sided pipe just smaller than the back side of the insert) goes over the insert and you bang it with a hammer to knock it out. But ideally, we should be able to hold the thing while still on the wall and wiggle out the inserts.

[@thenextlayer]

Upload pics on our discord or on the reddit i made I used PLA

[@canuckotter]

@@thenextlayer Any issues with it in PLA now that you've been using it for a little while? I'm just starting to try to print it and it's my first experience with PETG and after 3 days of messing with settings and trying different things, I'm pretty much ready to throw in the towel when it comes to using that material in my setup.

[@ubiratamuniz]

after some time, I finally started building my honeycomb storage wall. :) will document everything and make a video about it in Portuguese for Brazilian and other lusophonous makers.

[@emmettpickerel]

I still haven't managed to print out HSW parts that manage to fit together. Done four panels so far and a handful of wall mounts, but the tolerances seem really tight, esp for the .6mm I prefer for printing large parts. What nozzle size do you use for yours?

[@raimondolle5707]

Maybe it's backwards.

[@emmettpickerel]

@@raimondolle5707 No, this is before even getting it on the wall. IE, the parts that you'd use to assemble it. With them going in the thicker front of the honeycomb.

[@rocovailo2862]

I'm having issues printing this honeycomb. The pieces just don't fit... and I'm not sure why. Seems like it could be the corners bulging just ever so slightly? But it's hard to tell. I think it might be some issue with my print settings... I'm using Creality Ender 3 neo with PLA plz, what would you guys suggest for the slicing settings?

[@thenextlayer]

Tune your extrusion. Check the Ellis guide. Also you might have it backwards

[@rocovailo2862]

@@thenextlayer calibrated my e-steps a few days ago-- should be good there. Nozzle is very clean and everything comes out fine. The pdf simply gives like... 3 settings. (Something I'm starting to realize with this hobby is hardly anyone shares their printer settings xD would really help someone new understand all the variables better) Though I did do a test print recently where I basically slowed everything down... It took 20 minutes to print a single hex attachment and about 7 to print 3 hexes worth of the hex lattice itself. Additionally I decided to use zero infil in the attachment (as it's plenty strong without it) and I massively lowered layer heights around the curved edges- hoping to get more accurate prints for both. Oh and I reversed the lattice upside down-- so it's printing from the thin side up. This allowed me to better assure the top layer was properly made with no issues as the thick part of the hex is the side the attachments go in. It worked out! Though it is still very tough (if quite nearly impossible without damage parts ) to get them out again. Settings of note beyond defaults for a Creality Ender 3 V2 neo were simply -- adjusted variable layer heights to be smaller around the curves (so like .15mm ) and it would go back up to .25 or .3 for the more basic vertical layers. I lowered the temperature for the orca's slicer default on pla (cura sets it to 200, orca to 220, so I went to 210) And set infill to zero -- the lattice I made with 4 walls, the attachment I made with 3

Hello! I have a question about ventilation. I recently found out that even PLA can cause permanent damage to the lungs. And i have printed a little over a year on my desk beside my computer. So my goal is to get the fumes away from my desk, however i live in a one room compartment and i only have a big closet beside my bed, like you have on your wall. So my question is how do you tackle the fumes inside your closets on your wall?

[@kevinm3751]

NO its NOT! I have spent the last week printing the convoluted system that is multiboard and I have never seen a more confusing system in all my life! There is ZERO organization and no way to for the novice to know what piece goes with what! It should be a simple matter of plugging into the wall board and then plugging into it with some adapter. There are multiple adapters with long names that dont go far enough to identify what they are for. I for one am throwing my hands up and going back to Gridfinity! Multiboard is what you get when there are ZERO standards, just like working with electronics. Just because you have a USB adapter, does not mean you can solder it onto any board because there are 50 different configurations and Multiboards is just like that and is a bloated disaster that is going to waste filament and leave you with pieces that make no sense what to do with them! Even if you know how to put a square peg in a square hole, it is not going to save you from this bloated mess of a system!

[@DeSeriousSquid]

This isnt the multiboard system this is the honeycomb storage wall and although the multiboard system looks the same it is made by a different person

[@axelSixtySix]

Oh dear, it seems that printing a tool wall might not be the best use of your 3D printer's time and resources. But fear not, my friend! There are plenty of ready-made tool walls out there, from Ikea to the humble pegboard, just waiting for you around the corner. If you're feeling creative and want to print some custom accessories to spice up your tool wall game, go for it! However, the tool wall itself is a bit of a head-scratcher. It takes forever to print and can end up costing way more than a pre-made board. Plus, going the factory-made route would be more eco-friendly. Hey, we all love 3D printing, but not everything needs to be printed! Let's reserve that special treatment for the truly worthy objects.

[@thenextlayer]

I actually did calculate it and this is significantly cheaper than Skadis and uses much less plastic.

[@axelSixtySix]

@@thenextlayerThere's a world of products besides Ikea's. Did you know that the Skadis panel is made up of 99% wood fibers? Pretty cool, huh? And while we're on the topic of considering things from all angles, let's take a look at 3D printing. While it's an amazing technology, let's not forget that printing a tool wall requires a lot of energy (which, unfortunately, comes with a hefty dose of CO2 emissions), and it can take a while to complete. So perhaps we should be a bit selective about what we choose to 3D print - after all, not everything deserves a spot in the 3D printing hall of fame!"
