this Open Source System Is Taking Over My House

Snapmaker went ahead and sent over their Snapmaker went ahead and sent over their U1 printer and I have been having fun U1 printer and I have been having fun U1 printer and I have been having fun with it. They're the sponsor of today's with it. They're the sponsor of today's with it. They're the sponsor of today's video, but more on that in a little bit. video, but more on that in a little bit. video, but more on that in a little bit. And kind of the main thing other than And kind of the main thing other than And kind of the main thing other than toys for my kids that I have been toys for my kids that I have been toys for my kids that I have been printing is either the open grid or the printing is either the open grid or the printing is either the open grid or the gridinity. Both of these are open- gridinity. Both of these are open- gridinity. Both of these are open- source kind of in systems for actually source kind of in systems for actually source kind of in systems for actually building out and storing things. building out and storing things. building out and storing things. Essentially, open grid is for the wall Essentially, open grid is for the wall Essentially, open grid is for the wall while gridfinity is for flat surfaces. while gridfinity is for flat surfaces. while gridfinity is for flat surfaces. But oh, don't worry, you can combine But oh, don't worry, you can combine But oh, don't worry, you can combine them and we'll we'll get into that. And them and we'll we'll get into that. And them and we'll we'll get into that. And the reason I've been mainly focusing on the reason I've been mainly focusing on the reason I've been mainly focusing on these two things, other than obviously these two things, other than obviously these two things, other than obviously organization for myself, is the fact organization for myself, is the fact organization for myself, is the fact that these are both open-source systems. that these are both open-source systems. that these are both open-source systems. Yes, even in the world of 3D printing Yes, even in the world of 3D printing Yes, even in the world of 3D printing storage systems, there is a whole storage systems, there is a whole storage systems, there is a whole proprietary versus open-source divide. proprietary versus open-source divide. proprietary versus open-source divide. With kind of the main standout of the With kind of the main standout of the With kind of the main standout of the proprietary version of Open Grid is a proprietary version of Open Grid is a proprietary version of Open Grid is a system called Multibboard. And in this system called Multibboard. And in this system called Multibboard. And in this video, other than the open source video, other than the open source video, other than the open source nature, I'm going to kind of compare the nature, I'm going to kind of compare the nature, I'm going to kind of compare the two a bit and talk about why I decided two a bit and talk about why I decided two a bit and talk about why I decided to go with Open Grid and just some of to go with Open Grid and just some of to go with Open Grid and just some of the features and things really about the features and things really about the features and things really about these two different open source systems these two different open source systems these two different open source systems that you should definitely try out, that you should definitely try out, that you should definitely try out, especially if you have a 3D printer. And especially if you have a 3D printer. And especially if you have a 3D printer. And you can see some examples on screen now you can see some examples on screen now you can see some examples on screen now of some of the other kind of setups and of some of the other kind of setups and of some of the other kind of setups and builds that other people have going on.

builds that other people have going on. builds that other people have going on. It is intricate. It is handy. And do It is intricate. It is handy. And do It is intricate. It is handy. And do note for this video, I do not have all note for this video, I do not have all note for this video, I do not have all my stuff put together yet, but I will my stuff put together yet, but I will my stuff put together yet, but I will definitely show all that once it's time. definitely show all that once it's time. definitely show all that once it's time. The main focus of this is these two The main focus of this is these two The main focus of this is these two open- source systems and the features open- source systems and the features open- source systems and the features and what you can actually do with them. and what you can actually do with them. and what you can actually do with them. But before we get into all that, I do But before we get into all that, I do But before we get into all that, I do need to give a shout out to SnapBanker need to give a shout out to SnapBanker need to give a shout out to SnapBanker for one sponsoring this video and two for one sponsoring this video and two for one sponsoring this video and two sending over the printer for me to go sending over the printer for me to go sending over the printer for me to go ahead and do all of this. My old printer ahead and do all of this. My old printer ahead and do all of this. My old printer lasted me years. I printed a lot of lasted me years. I printed a lot of lasted me years. I printed a lot of things with it, but it was time for an things with it, but it was time for an things with it, but it was time for an upgrade. And SnapMaker reached out just upgrade. And SnapMaker reached out just upgrade. And SnapMaker reached out just at the absolute perfect time. And the at the absolute perfect time. And the at the absolute perfect time. And the problem with that old printer is it was problem with that old printer is it was problem with that old printer is it was slow. And when it comes to actually slow. And when it comes to actually slow. And when it comes to actually printing out all these different parts printing out all these different parts printing out all these different parts and everything that I need, tiles, and everything that I need, tiles, and everything that I need, tiles, snaps, connectors, accessories, all of snaps, connectors, accessories, all of snaps, connectors, accessories, all of that, I needed something with some that, I needed something with some that, I needed something with some speed, the U1 is Core XY, so it moves speed, the U1 is Core XY, so it moves speed, the U1 is Core XY, so it moves quick. And the plate isn't as big as my quick. And the plate isn't as big as my quick. And the plate isn't as big as my previous one, but just big enough where previous one, but just big enough where previous one, but just big enough where I could batch out all the accessories I could batch out all the accessories I could batch out all the accessories and everything I need. And there's and everything I need. And there's and everything I need. And there's enough room on the plate to actually enough room on the plate to actually enough room on the plate to actually print the 8x8 tiles, which is nice. And print the 8x8 tiles, which is nice. And print the 8x8 tiles, which is nice. And one thing I haven't tried out is a cool one thing I haven't tried out is a cool one thing I haven't tried out is a cool thing, this printer supports thing, this printer supports thing, this printer supports multifilament. So technically, if I multifilament. So technically, if I multifilament. So technically, if I wanted to, I could stack them with a wanted to, I could stack them with a wanted to, I could stack them with a different kind of filament layered in different kind of filament layered in different kind of filament layered in the middle. I'll link to a video down the middle. I'll link to a video down the middle. I'll link to a video down below about that. But where this machine below about that. But where this machine below about that. But where this machine really shows off is color, and open grid really shows off is color, and open grid really shows off is color, and open grid really isn't the place for that, as all really isn't the place for that, as all really isn't the place for that, as all pieces are just usually single color. So pieces are just usually single color. So pieces are just usually single color. So instead, I put it to work doing some instead, I put it to work doing some instead, I put it to work doing some stuff that my son cares a lot more about stuff that my son cares a lot more about stuff that my son cares a lot more about than the wall organizers, and that is than the wall organizers, and that is than the wall organizers, and that is making some toys. And with this printer, making some toys. And with this printer, making some toys. And with this printer, it works differently than you're it works differently than you're it works differently than you're probably used to. You get four separate probably used to. You get four separate probably used to. You get four separate print heads, and it physically swaps in print heads, and it physically swaps in print heads, and it physically swaps in between them in seconds. So, the amount between them in seconds. So, the amount between them in seconds. So, the amount of waste that you get in an actual color of waste that you get in an actual color of waste that you get in an actual color print is minimized. Snapmaker pitches up

print is minimized. Snapmaker pitches up print is minimized. Snapmaker pitches up to five times faster and five times less to five times faster and five times less to five times faster and five times less waste compared to those print heads that waste compared to those print heads that waste compared to those print heads that do actual filament switching. Overall, do actual filament switching. Overall, do actual filament switching. Overall, it's very smooth. The quality is it's very smooth. The quality is it's very smooth. The quality is awesome. And with this printer, there's awesome. And with this printer, there's awesome. And with this printer, there's so many different features and gizmos so many different features and gizmos so many different features and gizmos and all kinds of things. For example, and all kinds of things. For example, and all kinds of things. For example, when you put on the filament, it has a when you put on the filament, it has a when you put on the filament, it has a auto feeder, so it goes ahead and pumps auto feeder, so it goes ahead and pumps auto feeder, so it goes ahead and pumps it all forward. Everything is manageable it all forward. Everything is manageable it all forward. Everything is manageable on the little screen. So you can uh do on the little screen. So you can uh do on the little screen. So you can uh do filament switching, change uh the actual filament switching, change uh the actual filament switching, change uh the actual colors associated with it. Browse colors associated with it. Browse colors associated with it. Browse projects and things that are stored projects and things that are stored projects and things that are stored locally on the printer and print things locally on the printer and print things locally on the printer and print things directly that way. Or of course you directly that way. Or of course you directly that way. Or of course you could use their software and manage the could use their software and manage the could use their software and manage the printer that way. Snapmaker Orca, which printer that way. Snapmaker Orca, which printer that way. Snapmaker Orca, which is what I have been using for this is what I have been using for this is what I have been using for this printer, and it's worked pretty good. It printer, and it's worked pretty good. It printer, and it's worked pretty good. It took me about 30 minutes to get took me about 30 minutes to get took me about 30 minutes to get everything set up and put together and everything set up and put together and everything set up and put together and the actual manual was awesome. Real the actual manual was awesome. Real the actual manual was awesome. Real color pictures and all that. Overall, I color pictures and all that. Overall, I color pictures and all that. Overall, I have been blown away with this printer have been blown away with this printer have been blown away with this printer when it comes to price, performance, and when it comes to price, performance, and when it comes to price, performance, and all that stuff. And if you're somebody all that stuff. And if you're somebody all that stuff. And if you're somebody who's looking into getting it into 3D who's looking into getting it into 3D who's looking into getting it into 3D printing and you want to get more of a printing and you want to get more of a printing and you want to get more of a kind of upper mid-range priced printer, kind of upper mid-range priced printer, kind of upper mid-range priced printer, this is the one for you. And if you want this is the one for you. And if you want this is the one for you. And if you want to learn more about this printer or pick to learn more about this printer or pick to learn more about this printer or pick it up for yourself, it is going to be it up for yourself, it is going to be it up for yourself, it is going to be the first link down below. These are all the first link down below. These are all the first link down below. These are all the pieces I've printed so far. And the pieces I've printed so far. And the pieces I've printed so far. And there's a couple reasons to go ahead and there's a couple reasons to go ahead and there's a couple reasons to go ahead and choose Open Grid over multibboard with choose Open Grid over multibboard with choose Open Grid over multibboard with kind of the primary one being the amount kind of the primary one being the amount kind of the primary one being the amount of filament that's actually used. This of filament that's actually used. This of filament that's actually used. This one is the light board. It's very thin, one is the light board. It's very thin, one is the light board. It's very thin, great for like lighter items. And this great for like lighter items. And this great for like lighter items. And this uses 70% less filament than one of the uses 70% less filament than one of the uses 70% less filament than one of the multibboards. And this is the standard, multibboards. And this is the standard, multibboards. And this is the standard, much thicker for much bigger items. And much thicker for much bigger items. And much thicker for much bigger items. And this is about 30% less filament than the this is about 30% less filament than the this is about 30% less filament than the uh multibboard. And really, it's just

uh multibboard. And really, it's just uh multibboard. And really, it's just much simpler of a system. Now, if you're much simpler of a system. Now, if you're much simpler of a system. Now, if you're looking to learn a huge system with all looking to learn a huge system with all looking to learn a huge system with all kinds of different connectors, kinds of different connectors, kinds of different connectors, configurations, there's like there's a configurations, there's like there's a configurations, there's like there's a bit of a learning curve to multibboard. bit of a learning curve to multibboard. bit of a learning curve to multibboard. If you're interested in that, then cool. If you're interested in that, then cool. If you're interested in that, then cool. This isn't for you. With there being This isn't for you. With there being This isn't for you. With there being kind of just a little bit less parts and kind of just a little bit less parts and kind of just a little bit less parts and just slightly less that you could do just slightly less that you could do just slightly less that you could do with it. The community is a little bit with it. The community is a little bit with it. The community is a little bit smaller. Multibboard has been around a smaller. Multibboard has been around a smaller. Multibboard has been around a lot longer. So, multibboard is going to lot longer. So, multibboard is going to lot longer. So, multibboard is going to have accessories and things that you have accessories and things that you have accessories and things that you wouldn't even believe. Now, that doesn't wouldn't even believe. Now, that doesn't wouldn't even believe. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't actually use some mean that you can't actually use some mean that you can't actually use some multibboard parts and things with Open multibboard parts and things with Open multibboard parts and things with Open Grid here. There are adapters and Grid here. There are adapters and Grid here. There are adapters and things, so you can get away with using a things, so you can get away with using a things, so you can get away with using a lot of that stuff. For example, this lot of that stuff. For example, this lot of that stuff. For example, this little kind of hex drill bit holder here little kind of hex drill bit holder here little kind of hex drill bit holder here is technically a multi-board accessory, is technically a multi-board accessory, is technically a multi-board accessory, but I know that I'm going to be able to but I know that I'm going to be able to but I know that I'm going to be able to actually get it on here. And with Open actually get it on here. And with Open actually get it on here. And with Open Grid, they do have a lot of different Grid, they do have a lot of different Grid, they do have a lot of different snaps and connectors for other systems snaps and connectors for other systems snaps and connectors for other systems as well. So, that really shouldn't be as well. So, that really shouldn't be as well. So, that really shouldn't be too big of a deciding factor there. Now, too big of a deciding factor there. Now, too big of a deciding factor there. Now, if you're spanning multiple tiles, if you're spanning multiple tiles, if you're spanning multiple tiles, you're going to run into issues cuz you're going to run into issues cuz you're going to run into issues cuz there actually is a size difference when there actually is a size difference when there actually is a size difference when you're dealing with things spread out.

you're dealing with things spread out. you're dealing with things spread out. Open grid is 28 mm while multibboard is Open grid is 28 mm while multibboard is Open grid is 28 mm while multibboard is 25. So do note that if it is a accessory 25. So do note that if it is a accessory 25. So do note that if it is a accessory with multiple kind of snap locations. with multiple kind of snap locations. with multiple kind of snap locations. Now we're going to go into some more of Now we're going to go into some more of Now we're going to go into some more of the specifics with open grid here. These the specifics with open grid here. These the specifics with open grid here. These are open grids. Uh you may notice this are open grids. Uh you may notice this are open grids. Uh you may notice this one is a little bit bigger and thicker. one is a little bit bigger and thicker. one is a little bit bigger and thicker. This one I printed on my original uh This one I printed on my original uh This one I printed on my original uh cubic printer, but it was so painfully cubic printer, but it was so painfully cubic printer, but it was so painfully slow that I just went with these smaller slow that I just went with these smaller slow that I just went with these smaller 8 by8s going forward. Shout out to the 8 by8s going forward. Shout out to the 8 by8s going forward. Shout out to the U1. But like I said, the main difference U1. But like I said, the main difference U1. But like I said, the main difference between these two is what you can between these two is what you can between these two is what you can actually hold with it. This right here actually hold with it. This right here actually hold with it. This right here is flexible. It's very flimsy, but if is flexible. It's very flimsy, but if is flexible. It's very flimsy, but if you're holding up some light stuff, it's you're holding up some light stuff, it's you're holding up some light stuff, it's no big deal. While this has a lot more no big deal. While this has a lot more no big deal. While this has a lot more tension to it that is strong. And the tension to it that is strong. And the tension to it that is strong. And the key difference between them two is this key difference between them two is this key difference between them two is this lighter version has screw holes within lighter version has screw holes within lighter version has screw holes within these bases here. So, you can screw this these bases here. So, you can screw this these bases here. So, you can screw this directly to the wall without having to directly to the wall without having to directly to the wall without having to use snaps. And you can see some snaps use snaps. And you can see some snaps use snaps. And you can see some snaps right here. This is set flush, snapped right here. This is set flush, snapped right here. This is set flush, snapped in. So then I would use these to in. So then I would use these to in. So then I would use these to actually screw into the wall. So while actually screw into the wall. So while actually screw into the wall. So while it is stronger, you do lose a little bit it is stronger, you do lose a little bit it is stronger, you do lose a little bit of space when it comes to the placement of space when it comes to the placement of space when it comes to the placement of the screws. Especially when you get of the screws. Especially when you get of the screws. Especially when you get into smaller tiles and like this is into smaller tiles and like this is into smaller tiles and like this is about as big as you could get, but if about as big as you could get, but if about as big as you could get, but if you have to print smaller tiles, for you have to print smaller tiles, for you have to print smaller tiles, for example, printing the thicker ones, example, printing the thicker ones, example, printing the thicker ones, you're going to have a lot less room to you're going to have a lot less room to you're going to have a lot less room to actually mount things. Both of these actually mount things. Both of these actually mount things. Both of these boards have little slots here where you boards have little slots here where you boards have little slots here where you could put these uh little tiny pins and could put these uh little tiny pins and could put these uh little tiny pins and slide them together to make it a little slide them together to make it a little slide them together to make it a little more flush and actually stick together more flush and actually stick together more flush and actually stick together when you do have a wall spanning these.

when you do have a wall spanning these. when you do have a wall spanning these. And now what I want to talk about is And now what I want to talk about is And now what I want to talk about is snaps. Now there's two main categories snaps. Now there's two main categories snaps. Now there's two main categories for these. For example, for the thicker for these. For example, for the thicker for these. For example, for the thicker boards, you'd want to use a little snap boards, you'd want to use a little snap boards, you'd want to use a little snap like this. And this style just pops in like this. And this style just pops in like this. And this style just pops in just like that. And it stays there just like that. And it stays there just like that. And it stays there pretty good. Now, there's also pretty good. Now, there's also pretty good. Now, there's also directional snaps. And you'll notice directional snaps. And you'll notice directional snaps. And you'll notice when you actually look in the board, when you actually look in the board, when you actually look in the board, it's kind of divoted in just a little it's kind of divoted in just a little it's kind of divoted in just a little bit. So you have the snaps that push in bit. So you have the snaps that push in bit. So you have the snaps that push in and snap or you have snaps like this and snap or you have snaps like this and snap or you have snaps like this that are designed in a way so they just that are designed in a way so they just that are designed in a way so they just set in in a certain direction. set in in a certain direction. set in in a certain direction. Specifically, there's a little arrow Specifically, there's a little arrow Specifically, there's a little arrow there. So you put the arrow in first and there. So you put the arrow in first and there. So you put the arrow in first and then you just push it in like that. So then you just push it in like that. So then you just push it in like that. So when there's actually weight on it, it when there's actually weight on it, it when there's actually weight on it, it doesn't come out, but if you need to doesn't come out, but if you need to doesn't come out, but if you need to remove it, it is incredibly easy remove it, it is incredibly easy remove it, it is incredibly easy compared to the ones that snap in. Those compared to the ones that snap in. Those compared to the ones that snap in. Those are a bit harder to get out. And then of are a bit harder to get out. And then of are a bit harder to get out. And then of course, like I mentioned earlier, course, like I mentioned earlier, course, like I mentioned earlier, there's the compatibility snaps. You there's the compatibility snaps. You there's the compatibility snaps. You have the multiconnect snaps, which then have the multiconnect snaps, which then have the multiconnect snaps, which then gives you access to a whole bunch of gives you access to a whole bunch of gives you access to a whole bunch of that accessory library. They have snaps that accessory library. They have snaps that accessory library. They have snaps for the honeycomb wall storage stuff. for the honeycomb wall storage stuff. for the honeycomb wall storage stuff. And of course, much more, which this is And of course, much more, which this is And of course, much more, which this is how you actually attach accessories. And how you actually attach accessories. And how you actually attach accessories. And there's a number of ways to do this as there's a number of ways to do this as there's a number of ways to do this as well. This right here is multiconnect.

well. This right here is multiconnect. well. This right here is multiconnect. They make accessories that have kind of They make accessories that have kind of They make accessories that have kind of snaps built into it, and those are snaps built into it, and those are snaps built into it, and those are really cool, but it's a lot more really cool, but it's a lot more really cool, but it's a lot more difficult to move around in my opinion. difficult to move around in my opinion. difficult to move around in my opinion. And that's why I really like this And that's why I really like this And that's why I really like this multiconnect setup here. Multiconnect is multiconnect setup here. Multiconnect is multiconnect setup here. Multiconnect is Open Grid's universal connection system. Open Grid's universal connection system. Open Grid's universal connection system. For multiconnect, you have your snap For multiconnect, you have your snap For multiconnect, you have your snap that goes in, but it is a snap that is that goes in, but it is a snap that is that goes in, but it is a snap that is specially designed to put the specially designed to put the specially designed to put the multiconnect in. It's just a kind of big multiconnect in. It's just a kind of big multiconnect in. It's just a kind of big looking screw. You screw that on down looking screw. You screw that on down looking screw. You screw that on down and then you're ablely to easily slide and then you're ablely to easily slide and then you're ablely to easily slide on accessories such as this one right on accessories such as this one right on accessories such as this one right here that have these grooves that just here that have these grooves that just here that have these grooves that just slide it on in. For example, if I slide it on in. For example, if I slide it on in. For example, if I quickly pop these out and I wanted to quickly pop these out and I wanted to quickly pop these out and I wanted to connect this little shelf, all I would connect this little shelf, all I would connect this little shelf, all I would do is get my board and then I just pop do is get my board and then I just pop do is get my board and then I just pop these in real fast just like so. You get these in real fast just like so. You get these in real fast just like so. You get your accessory and then boom, just like your accessory and then boom, just like your accessory and then boom, just like that, it is nice and mounted. There is that, it is nice and mounted. There is that, it is nice and mounted. There is both the standard version that I was both the standard version that I was both the standard version that I was showing or a locked version. So, when showing or a locked version. So, when showing or a locked version. So, when you actually screw it, it opens up a bit you actually screw it, it opens up a bit you actually screw it, it opens up a bit and really makes it so it's not going and really makes it so it's not going and really makes it so it's not going nowhere and you actually need to unscrew nowhere and you actually need to unscrew nowhere and you actually need to unscrew it to get the actual snap out of there. it to get the actual snap out of there. it to get the actual snap out of there. That's really nice when you actually That's really nice when you actually That's really nice when you actually have things like stowed like hanging or have things like stowed like hanging or have things like stowed like hanging or under a desk or it's just on the heavier under a desk or it's just on the heavier under a desk or it's just on the heavier side. Now, what I want to talk about and side. Now, what I want to talk about and side. Now, what I want to talk about and one of my kind of favorite things with one of my kind of favorite things with one of my kind of favorite things with it is the underwear specifically things it is the underwear specifically things it is the underwear specifically things like this. This is for mostly cable like this. This is for mostly cable like this. This is for mostly cable management. Underwear 2.0 is a cable and management. Underwear 2.0 is a cable and management. Underwear 2.0 is a cable and wire routing system by hand on Katie.

wire routing system by hand on Katie. wire routing system by hand on Katie. Shout outs and Open Grid here has Shout outs and Open Grid here has Shout outs and Open Grid here has firstass support for it. So whether if firstass support for it. So whether if firstass support for it. So whether if you need to run cords across your wall you need to run cords across your wall you need to run cords across your wall and you have a bunch of these already and you have a bunch of these already and you have a bunch of these already set up or you need to make a nice under set up or you need to make a nice under set up or you need to make a nice under desk system for organizing everything, desk system for organizing everything, desk system for organizing everything, it is going to work great. I don't have it is going to work great. I don't have it is going to work great. I don't have the actual snaps. You can see they can the actual snaps. You can see they can the actual snaps. You can see they can kind of sit in here without anything, kind of sit in here without anything, kind of sit in here without anything, but then they also come out really but then they also come out really but then they also come out really easily. So, they do have their very own easily. So, they do have their very own easily. So, they do have their very own snaps specifically for them, including a snaps specifically for them, including a snaps specifically for them, including a channel base snap that gives a channel a channel base snap that gives a channel a channel base snap that gives a channel a floor so cables don't snag on the floor so cables don't snag on the floor so cables don't snag on the board's edges and has cutouts so you can board's edges and has cutouts so you can board's edges and has cutouts so you can zip tie cables to the base, which lets zip tie cables to the base, which lets zip tie cables to the base, which lets you lay out the run first and cover it you lay out the run first and cover it you lay out the run first and cover it with the channels later. And then the with the channels later. And then the with the channels later. And then the grip channel snap actually sits under a grip channel snap actually sits under a grip channel snap actually sits under a channel and pushes the grips outward so channel and pushes the grips outward so channel and pushes the grips outward so it holds tight and doesn't fall off, it holds tight and doesn't fall off, it holds tight and doesn't fall off, which those ones are really good for if which those ones are really good for if which those ones are really good for if an actual channel is packed with cable. an actual channel is packed with cable. an actual channel is packed with cable. And on these actual channels, you can And on these actual channels, you can And on these actual channels, you can see there's all kinds of different see there's all kinds of different see there's all kinds of different shapes and angles. And like this one shapes and angles. And like this one shapes and angles. And like this one right here, nice little zigzag. Some of right here, nice little zigzag. Some of right here, nice little zigzag. Some of these have holes coming out of the these have holes coming out of the these have holes coming out of the middle of them, so you can run a cable middle of them, so you can run a cable middle of them, so you can run a cable directly out of it to a specific machine directly out of it to a specific machine directly out of it to a specific machine or whatever you're doing. Heck, they or whatever you're doing. Heck, they or whatever you're doing. Heck, they even have these little bridges. So if even have these little bridges. So if even have these little bridges. So if you have a run and you need another you have a run and you need another you have a run and you need another cable to go over that run, you got a cable to go over that run, you got a cable to go over that run, you got a solution. Now, my setup obviously isn't solution. Now, my setup obviously isn't solution. Now, my setup obviously isn't done. All my parts and everything are done. All my parts and everything are done. All my parts and everything are here and I still kind of have a lot more here and I still kind of have a lot more here and I still kind of have a lot more to print, but really the options are to print, but really the options are to print, but really the options are endless. And I do have a lot of setups endless. And I do have a lot of setups endless. And I do have a lot of setups planned. For example, in my garage, I planned. For example, in my garage, I planned. For example, in my garage, I want a whole wall of these for tools. Uh want a whole wall of these for tools. Uh want a whole wall of these for tools. Uh just general organization for things just general organization for things just general organization for things that are just kind of thrown in drawers.

that are just kind of thrown in drawers. that are just kind of thrown in drawers. You may have noticed this right here. I You may have noticed this right here. I You may have noticed this right here. I have a uh or had a Raspberry Pi zip tied have a uh or had a Raspberry Pi zip tied have a uh or had a Raspberry Pi zip tied to one. This was sitting right on the to one. This was sitting right on the to one. This was sitting right on the wall by the 3D printer. Connected it wall by the 3D printer. Connected it wall by the 3D printer. Connected it directly to it with like OctoPrint directly to it with like OctoPrint directly to it with like OctoPrint running. So, this was my 3D printing running. So, this was my 3D printing running. So, this was my 3D printing server for a while, but set up some server for a while, but set up some server for a while, but set up some stuff by my home lab area where I can uh stuff by my home lab area where I can uh stuff by my home lab area where I can uh mount some things that deserve a wall mount some things that deserve a wall mount some things that deserve a wall mounting. And then here in the studio mounting. And then here in the studio mounting. And then here in the studio back behind where you guys can't see, back behind where you guys can't see, back behind where you guys can't see, I'm going to have a setup where I have I'm going to have a setup where I have I'm going to have a setup where I have easy access to like camera accessories, easy access to like camera accessories, easy access to like camera accessories, lighting things, and just a bunch of lighting things, and just a bunch of lighting things, and just a bunch of stuff that I really can't see in drawers stuff that I really can't see in drawers stuff that I really can't see in drawers that would be helpful to be able to just that would be helpful to be able to just that would be helpful to be able to just visually pinpoint it. There it is. Bam. visually pinpoint it. There it is. Bam. visually pinpoint it. There it is. Bam. And just make things a little bit more And just make things a little bit more And just make things a little bit more efficient around here. And I'm going to efficient around here. And I'm going to efficient around here. And I'm going to incorporate a lot of another open source incorporate a lot of another open source incorporate a lot of another open source project and that is gridfinity. project and that is gridfinity. project and that is gridfinity. Gridfinity is Zach Freeman's one of my Gridfinity is Zach Freeman's one of my Gridfinity is Zach Freeman's one of my favorite creators open source bin and favorite creators open source bin and favorite creators open source bin and baseline system on a 42 mm grid. This baseline system on a 42 mm grid. This baseline system on a 42 mm grid. This little shelf that I used kind of as an little shelf that I used kind of as an little shelf that I used kind of as an example. You can see has these grids on example. You can see has these grids on example. You can see has these grids on it which is gridfinity. So there's a lot it which is gridfinity. So there's a lot it which is gridfinity. So there's a lot of different accessories for a bunch of of different accessories for a bunch of of different accessories for a bunch of different things. If you can think of different things. If you can think of different things. If you can think of even like a common smaller item or even like a common smaller item or even like a common smaller item or anything, there's probably an accessory anything, there's probably an accessory anything, there's probably an accessory for it. all the way down to like GoPros, for it. all the way down to like GoPros, for it. all the way down to like GoPros, specific handhelds, recording equipment, specific handhelds, recording equipment, specific handhelds, recording equipment, tools, anything. There's probably a tools, anything. There's probably a tools, anything. There's probably a gridinity of it. And this is a bad gridinity of it. And this is a bad gridinity of it. And this is a bad example because it's a shelf, but it example because it's a shelf, but it example because it's a shelf, but it would just sit in and it's perfect. And would just sit in and it's perfect. And would just sit in and it's perfect. And when it comes to the actual when it comes to the actual when it comes to the actual compatibility for these two, it's not compatibility for these two, it's not compatibility for these two, it's not like something like with multibboard like something like with multibboard like something like with multibboard where you have an adapter and it's like where you have an adapter and it's like where you have an adapter and it's like hit or miss. This one has the sizing

hit or miss. This one has the sizing hit or miss. This one has the sizing perfect. So every two grid affinity perfect. So every two grid affinity perfect. So every two grid affinity units will equal exactly three of these units will equal exactly three of these units will equal exactly three of these open grid units. Meaning it's much open grid units. Meaning it's much open grid units. Meaning it's much easier to make larger and more complex easier to make larger and more complex easier to make larger and more complex uh gridinity accessories that are uh gridinity accessories that are uh gridinity accessories that are compatible with open grid. And really compatible with open grid. And really compatible with open grid. And really this is kind of the main use case right this is kind of the main use case right this is kind of the main use case right here. You use the actual connects. It's here. You use the actual connects. It's here. You use the actual connects. It's all spaced out perfectly. Just pop it on all spaced out perfectly. Just pop it on all spaced out perfectly. Just pop it on in and you're good to go. The only kind in and you're good to go. The only kind in and you're good to go. The only kind of watch out is like the border of some of watch out is like the border of some of watch out is like the border of some of these might overlap or underlap a of these might overlap or underlap a of these might overlap or underlap a little bit, but it all depends on the little bit, but it all depends on the little bit, but it all depends on the accessory and the model that you're accessory and the model that you're accessory and the model that you're wanting and printing. And like I wanting and printing. And like I wanting and printing. And like I mentioned in this video, everything here mentioned in this video, everything here mentioned in this video, everything here is open source. You could build your is open source. You could build your is open source. You could build your own, distribute it, do whatever you own, distribute it, do whatever you own, distribute it, do whatever you want. So, I'm going to go and link to want. So, I'm going to go and link to want. So, I'm going to go and link to all the resources down below, including all the resources down below, including all the resources down below, including the Wikipedia pages for both uh Open the Wikipedia pages for both uh Open the Wikipedia pages for both uh Open Grid and Gridfinity. Make sure you show Grid and Gridfinity. Make sure you show Grid and Gridfinity. Make sure you show some love to those projects because they some love to those projects because they some love to those projects because they could have gone about this a bunch of could have gone about this a bunch of could have gone about this a bunch of different ways. and the fact that it's different ways. and the fact that it's different ways. and the fact that it's open source is awesome. I'll also have open source is awesome. I'll also have open source is awesome. I'll also have some related videos down below for you some related videos down below for you some related videos down below for you to explore more. And within the to explore more. And within the to explore more. And within the hopefully coming weeks, I will have um a hopefully coming weeks, I will have um a hopefully coming weeks, I will have um a good portion of my setup and I'll either good portion of my setup and I'll either good portion of my setup and I'll either show it off in a full video or maybe show it off in a full video or maybe show it off in a full video or maybe like a YouTube short. Finally, check out like a YouTube short. Finally, check out like a YouTube short. Finally, check out our sponsor SnapMaker if you want to go our sponsor SnapMaker if you want to go our sponsor SnapMaker if you want to go ahead and get the print and some of this ahead and get the print and some of this ahead and get the print and some of this for yourself.
