Just love how modular your designs are, so considerate and super helpful for extra customisation

[@3DPrinty]

Glad you like it! I love seeing how people creatively use designs when they're given the chance to customize :)

[@CraftyEnelrad]

Again, thanks so much for all the hard work and sharing it with the 3D community. I'm moving soon and this latest project is going to help get the new place organized. Awesome!

[@3DPrinty]

Nice! Best of luck with the move :)

[@PrintVids]

Box Connectors with Magnets so that you can stick boxes to magnetic walls

[@lucainmacdonald5141]

Love it mate. Need some hooks to hang keyrings, products etc

[@3DPrinty]

Definitely! I've focused mostly on the panels and connectors so far, but the addition of a port punch means all sorts of hooks and hangers will be possible :)

[@td19xyz]

The nested bins made a nice sound in the b-roll filming

[@3DPrinty]

I'll admit that's a big part of why I included it :)

[@JaldaboathIrghen]

I love you. Am I allowed to say that? Making it compatible with gridfinity is just MUACK

[@dennisgignac5103]

Another great release !!! Thank you

[@---ey6hj]

I don’t know if anyone has suggested, but maybe have wall panels with recessed area to attach Command Strips? That way it would be good for people in dorms where you can’t put holes in the wall

[@3DPrinty]

That's a good idea! I'm curious if a recessed area would provide any additional strength over just attaching the panel as is. My personal experience with using Command Strips is you can pretty much slap them on a flat surface and they work quite well :)

[@radish6691]

@@3DPrintyI think recesses would best suit Command picture hanging strips because those strips are thicker and have the advantage of being completely hidden. Normal Command strips, while thinner, need their tail to be accessible for removal.

[@3DPrinty]

Ah, the kind that click together a bit like velcro? I haven't actually tried those yet - I'll need to pick some up and get some measurements for the recessed area (if nobody else remixes it before I get to it, that is)

[@---ey6hj]

Yeah basically just anything that won’t require drilling into walls, and yeah I think the Velcro ones are better since they’re stronger and less chance of it accidentally coming off the wall 😀

[@getbent57]

Even more options, awesome.

[@NoMercyFtw]

Dude you are awesome

[@netwrkops]

I love these. I have been looking for something like this.

[@jakec3485]

You are possibly my favorite 3d model designer! Thank you for all the hard work. Out of curiosity, what slicer were you using? I'm looking to try a new one.

[@3DPrinty]

Thank you, I've glad you like the designs :) That's Prusaslicer. I recommend checking it out - the software includes lots of tuned profiles for many brands and printers.

[@maxharnisch314]

Thanks, Joe

[@AntonioMartinez-xg5fp]

This is amazing!! 👋

[@atulkhatri88]

Very nice job on this. I'm currently printing 'multiboard' system and don't mind trying Printy Panels as well. I just wish that it didn't use so much filament. I know a solid fill is required for strength but may be good to have an option of panels with holes for quick printing.

[@3DPrinty]

I'm glad you like it! I recommend trying the "window" panels, which take far less filament. You can also get away with infill on the center most layers. My own prints use 3 solid bottom layers, 3 layers of infill, and 4 solid top layers (0.3mm layer heights). Good luck with your prints!

[@vonmoraes]

Extreamly good :D

[@justinchamberlin4195]

Thoughts on making Printy Panels designed to snugly store Rolling Storage Boxes? Sure, you could just put some of the boxes on a panel shelf, but I'm thinking of a shallow V-shaped indentation that can keep a box from sliding around (or off the shelf entirely).

[@3DPrinty]

A shutter door is actually something I'm considering - making it one big shutter box :)

[@justinchamberlin4195]

@@3DPrinty Awesome!

[@SeanLumly]

One wonders if it would be valuable to standardize module dimensions, so that multiple modular-systems can interoperate trivially.

[@3DPrinty]

That would be ideal! Unfortunately, universally applicable standards aren't easy to achieve and I didn't even have cross-compatibility top of mind when I started (that's my bad). In the end, the dimensions for Printy Panels were driven by - Panel strength - Port connector strength - Supporting common layer heights (0.2, 0.25, 0.3) - Fitting on common print beds (6x6 panels fit most printers nicely) - And ideal spacing between ports I'm paying for that oversight with tricky integration solutions 😅

[@SeanLumly]

@@3DPrinty @3DPrinty Things are almost always obvious in hindsight. I refactor code (programming, C) around 5 to 6 times (!) before I am happy with something I have written. And, for what it's worth, I think "Printy" is amazing. And huge kudos for making it open!

[@picklesdoggo2503]

How did the Hexglyph puzzle end up with the round dial in the middle?

[@3DPrinty]

That's a remixed version of the puzzle by Venice3D www.printables.com/model/874237

[@picklesdoggo2503]

@@3DPrinty is there an extra piece, the photos show a similar core shape to the original but in your video core looks round like the dials?

[@3DPrinty]

The overall form, including the core shape, is the same. The difference you see are mostly there to make it possible to print and assemble the puzzle from individual parts.
