Love this channel. All Of your videos are super helpful. I’ve been looking for Something like the organizer without the bases for our kitchen drawers. Thank you!

[@DEtchells]

Wow, how fantastically useful (again)! I knew about Gridfinity but not the other 4. The draw dividers and catch-all bins in particular solve storage problems I’ve been needing to address. Mega-thanks!!

[@thenextlayer]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy! :)

[@jeffreydheere4737]

I love storage solutions - modular storage is a great idea calling it 'customizable' but never has been with an off-the-shelf product. With at home 3D printing, it really has crossed the line to fully customizable. Side note: I totally want to see what you came up with for gardening solutions - I've been diving in to hydroponics and see some opportunities for customize pieces that would help with steps in gardening.

[@maurovianna4702]

Nice cover on storage solutions! Interested in more for sure. And the gardening prints too. I also frint some of that for indoor.

[@frantisekhriba4235]

Aaand now I'm frantically scanning my bedroom/office for vertical surfaces I can take over without putting holes in the walls 😅 Current frontrunner is the metal sideplates of my IKEA Fredde desk, which would be super useful for clearing some clutter off the flat surfaces...

[@thenextlayer]

Thank you so much for sharing! You are the first one who I learned about Bambu X1 Carbon printer from, which is arriving by the end of this week. And - no!!! - I will not hold you responsible is something goes sour with that printer; it was my own choice to buy. 🤣 After watching a few of your videos, starting from "Dear Prusa", which I am absolutely on the same page with you after fighting with the MK3S hot end for a long time, I'm definitely subscribing. 😍

[@socks5proxy]

I'm enjoying your content, 100% understand wanting to make things shorter and more direct. I'd like to see more content about how to create useful things for people that aren't CAD wizards, not just download it, but how do I go from idea to print, and be cognizant that I'm a full time worker, dad, and have other hobbies. I have to invest so much time in 3dp, sometimes I miss other things. I spend more time calibrating my printers I don't have time to become a cad expert. Not trying to use this comment as therapy, lol. I'm just trying to find a balance. Great content!

Your office may still be disorganized, but it would be even worse without the organizational stuff SoonerLater Definitely would like to print some of these to help with my stuff..

[@MoritzWeller]

Great video! What are the advantages and disadvantages of the honeycomb system compared to the IKEA skadis system?

[@antoniosa]

Awesome ❤ did you make some comparison between honeycomb and multiboard ?

[@deanrumpel]

Have you looked at the Multiboard system yet? I'm using Gridfinity for the flat spots, and thinking of going Multiboard for the walls.

[@exaltvideo]

How do you take one of the existing rectangular gridfinity pieces and make the front edge shorter than the back edge so that the top plain is at an angle toward the user?

[@nightcorelore5648]

1kg filament rolls should hold pretty safe, as long as the honeycomb wall is facing the right way… plus there are supports for those bigger shelves

[@jackwood6214]

I definitely need to organize my entire home lol

[@Epsicronics]

You have no idea how glad I am that I am not the only dummy who didn't understand how the honeycomb storage wall boards worked lol

[@John-NeverStopLearning]

Great video! One question, when are you going to print a collapsable office chair? Will that be another great 👍 video?

[@JonathanLuker]

Any chair is collapsible if you try hard enough, and *every* 3D print is if you *don't* 😉

[@JoshMurrah]

I gave the honeycomb wall system a shot, but it has a really horrible bridge for the inserts - how did you overcome this??

[@kpodbot]

I have mounted my honeycomb wall the wrong way round looking at this video but I have not progresses as far as in the video so should be oasy to remove and turn the base over I hope. thanks for the video :O)

[@jonathanp906]

Yes to both!

so print out the walls and stuff on the modular drawer and make a hot gluebase or hot glue fabric or something under them

You know, just when I was "starting" to recover from my gridfinity addiction(ok so I ran out of filament), I see honeycomb now...... need to place an order...

[@thenextlayer]

HEEEEREEE WE GO

[@gregschouten]

I’ve very new to the printing game, only a few days old. I have an Ender 3 v2 Neo and I’m not sure how to print to hexagon walls on it. It says it can’t slice it cuz it won’t fit. I’m sure it’s just a dumb rookie mistake but I’d love to learn how to make adjustments and figure it out if anyone has any advice? 🤓

[@wayne_taylor]

I need the link to the cable winder

[@AnomieDomine]

Sounds like these all need remixed to add gridfinity support

[@ulaB]

So how would you convince a Skadis user to switch over toHCW? :-)

[@shanewalters7821]

Does anyone have info one how much weight (generally) the honeycomb wall can handle? Not as a whole but maybe per item being hung.

[@thenextlayer]

Depends which hook, materials, etc...

[@ThirdDynamic]

Have you thought about adding a mod to your gridfinity bins to allow them to be on your honeycomb wall?

[@thenextlayer]

I have gridfinity on my honeycomb wall?

[@ThirdDynamic]

@@thenextlayer Oh yeah, the one with magnets.....smh 🤣. Welcome to my week of amazing forgetfulness.

[@ChrisHolcomb21]

Have you checked out Multiboard? Since you use the HWS I would be interested on your opinion on it. Was about to start printing out a lot of HWS tiles until I saw the Multiboard which includes pegboard holes and seems to be a little stronger. Could you do a comparison video of these two systems?

[@JcMinyarro]

Would be great to have this comparison video. I am about to print my own "wall organizer" and I think I will go with Multiboard because its community and the "adapters" they are designing for other systems like HWS

[@markfleming7705]

Maybe a silly question, at roughly 2.45 in, what software are you using to show a preview of the stl files, I'm still relatively new to 3d printing and am having to click the stl file to view the part in a slicer, this would save me a lot of time when trying to find the piece I want to print 😊

Did you have a $200 camera lense sitting on a small shelf with nothing to stop it from rolling off?

For the honeycomb wall mount - which way am I supposed to print and which way to attach to the wall. It's the notched side that goes against the wall?

Fat side down when printing, thin side against the wall

[@stephencarter2041]

this is crazy

[@stephenfriedenthal8312]

I tried the drawer organizer and burned a ton of filament for a system that is just too damned confusing and too finicky. Gridfinity just works. The drawer organizer has connector pieces and 'divider' pieces and it's a royal PITA to figure out what you want to do between them. I appreciate the tons of work that went into it... but this could have been much simpler and easier.

[@sierraecho884]

Look up how "shadow foam" does it. The point of organization is not only to place small bits in containers but also to see what´s there and what´s missing. Shadow walls are a part of 5S and for mechanics for example it is only important to store stuff but also to make sure everything is back on it´s place and to see right away what´s missing. By stacking 1000 boxes all over the place you don´t get the same organization. I see this frequently with those rainbow colored puke 3D prints, there is no color scheme and not shadow wall it´s still chaos but this time with 1000 boxes instead of 1000 parts. Honestly I don´t see the gritfinity system as a mobile system, I would rather use Kaizen foam instead. It´s way neater and more organized. Now you can do the same with the gridfinity system but I have not really seen somebody do that. 3D peinting nerds tend to be disorganized most times with 785 colored filament for whichever reason and so on. All this is a storage nightmare by itself.

[@lolslim690]

I am actually using "fake gridfinity" I call it fake because I modified the openscad file to print bigger bins, 50.6mm, instead of 42.

[@JonathanLuker]

Hmmm.... X1C, Honeycomb Wall, Magnets... A place for all the tools, hot ends, maybe a build plate or two... If only there was someone that had one and could do an awesome video before I try it. Know anyone who needs to print out a HCW and has an X1 and likes making videos @thenextlayer ? 😎😉
