Multiconnect Round Item Holder (Customizable)

Rapidly create custom organization for round items on your Multiconnect/Multiboard/GOEWS/openGrid system! No need to learn CAD or spend time positioning Multiconnect slots in specific increments. Each part is customizable to your needs and automatically adds the appropriate multiconnect slots on the back. Just enter the dimensions into the web-based generator and export!

Customizations available: 

• Backer type (NEW!) - openGrid, Multipoint, GOEWS, or custom Multiconnect!
• diameter
• separation

Narrow Parts?

If your holder is narrow with only one multiconnect slot, I remixed a non-rotating threaded connector for Multiboard. You can use any multiconnect holder to crank it down so your parts don't rotate. 

Documentation

Documentation is available, but extremely limited. Most parameters should be self-explanatory. I will continue to develop the documentation as I get to version 1.0.  

Background

Needing a better organization system, I found Hands on Katie with an organization structure that resonated. She recommended an approach that, when combined, take care of most storage needs: big, small, horizontal, and vertical. It consists of Multiboard, Multiconnect, Neogrid, Gridfinity, Underware Cable Management, and French Cleats.

I dove head-first into the first category: small things on the wall with Multiboard and Multiconnect. But I quickly encountered a problem - I was spending a LOT of time either looking for the holder that I needed or uniquely designing for each and item. It started with rectangular items where I found myself only tweaking a few spots in Fusion 360 and adding/removing Multiconnect slots. I kept thinking that there has got to be a better way to make these adjustments. Then I learned of parametrics: designing in such a way that parts are rapidly customizable by entering a few parameters and the rest of the object dynamically changing to accommodate those parameters. 

It started in Fusion 360, which is very powerful, but as I made my first models I developed 2 goals: (1) I wanted to share them with the community and (2) I wanted it easily accessible to everyone (and I knew the pain and hardware requirements of getting Fusion 360 up and running with the hobby license). Here comes OpenSCAD and MakerWorld: a way to programmatically design and host parametric 3D objects.  

This is the result of that goal - fast, standardized, and web-based methods of generating the exact holders you need in a one-stop shop.

Remix Source

This item is remixed from DavidD's multiconnect system. It takes the multiconnect slot (and options) and places them where needed along the back of this part.
