Description
BETA - Please report feedback!
Welcome to the tile customizer for openGrid, David D's new open source organization system. You might know David D as the creator of Multiconnect, the most versatile 3D-printable mounting interface available. This system is a rapidly-developing solution for wall-mounted organization, cable organization, and even desktop organization.
Learn about openGrid
To learn about openGrid, I highly recommend starting from David D's openGrid MakerWorld page https://makerworld.com/en/models/1179191-opengrid-wall-desk-mounting-framework-ecosystem

Using the Customizer

Most all tiles and stacks can be generated in the web version. To access the web version, click the green ‘Customize’ button up top.
Option 2: Running OpenSCAD locally on your desktop

Open and Verify you have ‘Manifold’ enabled by going to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > 3D Rendering > Backend > Manifold
Install BOSL2
1. Download BOSL2 by going here, then 'Code' and 'Download ZIP' https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2
2. Extract the zip
3. In OpenSCAD, go to File > Show Library Folder

Where to find accessories
Accessories, including multiconnects, can be found on the main openGrid page, David D's openGrid collection, and by searching “openGrid” on MakerWorld and other popular 3D model sites.
I've updated my popular and versatile multiconnect series to easily select ‘openGrid’ as a connection option. This allows you to generate the following parts:
- Bins
- Hooks
- Shelves
- Gridfinity Shelves
- Item Holders
- Round Item Holders
- Rows of round item holders
This is in Beta!
This generator is in beta. Documentation and updates will follow. Please report feedback, including successful prints.
