Release: Custom Pegboard Organizers (lemmy-ui.nowsci.com:33443)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com to c/3dprinting
 

I've been custom designing pegboard inserts for all of my workshop items to clean things up. Figured since I release most of the things I create to various communities, these should be no different ;)

I don't mean yo undermine your design but I was recently looking for like a modular pegboard type thing and found printy panels pretty cool, https://www.printables.com/model/859807-printy-panels I am going to design something similar using that consept

Not undermining at all! That looks like a cool system, very different from a pegboard method. Good luck!

Nice! Just a tip, it would be helpful to mention the size of the pegboard, such as 1" distance with 1/4" holes. There are a few different sizes of pegboard.

Good catch, updated the site.

[–] kensand@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

That's the size I have, so thanks a ton!

Looks nice. I'm about to setup some pegboard and this is inspiring

This is awesome! How did you do this? Did you already know how to model?

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks! I self-taught myself FreeCad, so used those skills ;) I've done a ton of models before that I've released, the most popular of which is probably https://twystlock.com. I'm about to release the plans for my DIY smart sensors and the models for those, too.

Any tips for learning this? :) very cool

YouTube, lots of YouTube haha. I honestly started by mostly using cubes and cylinders and cutting or merging them together to make what I needed. You can make most anything that way and it's pretty straight forward if not as formal.

For ten minutes, lol.

Every time I organize my tools they look like this - for ten minutes. As soon as I do a task, I find the tools need a different arrangement.

I envy folks who can keep their tools looking neat like this!

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Envy maybe, but more than that I become suspicious of anyone that can keep their tools that organized. I'm pretty obsessive and still can't maintain anything quite this tidy.

The positioning in the corner was key for me. My chair is right in front, so all it takes is turning around.
