AMS shelf base to mount your AMS to the Multiboard system. This is based on my original design found here Multiboard AMS Shelf and Build Plate Holder. While it works well and has held my AMS for months without issue, this new design takes advantage of the recent Multiboard parts update by using newly available parts.
Requires the following Multiboard 3D printed parts to complete the shelf:
- (2) 8x8 Bracket - Bolt-Locked Inserts
- (10) Mid Hole - Bolt Locker
- (2) Heavy Weight-Bearing Hook Snap
Depending on your Multiboard panel setup, you may require a combination of the following:
- Multiboard Snap
- 8 mm - Offset Snap (DS Part A) with Double-Sided Snap (DS Part B)
- 8 mm - Dual Offset Snaps (DS Part A) with Dual Snap Connector (DS Part B)
Mounting the Self Bases to the Bracket
Insert the 8x8 Bracket - Bolt-Locked Inserts pegs into the appropriate holes in the shelf bases. Use (4) Mid Hole - Bolt Locker, one in each peg to secure the shelf bases and bracket together. Super simple.
Mounting to your Multiboard
The 8x8 Bracket - Bolt-Locked Inserts attach to your Multiboard tiles via a Heavy Weight-Bearing Hook Snap on the top-most peg. The Heavy Weight-Bearing Hook Snap is then secured by using a Mid Hole - Bolt Locker screwed into the push-fit peg on the bracket. Alternatively, you can use one of my Multiboard remixed Multiboard T-bolt 25mm wide head with offset, that lock the bracket into the Multiboard tile from the rear and also act as additional tile support against your mounting surface. The disadvantage of using my bolt, is that you must remove the Multiboard tile from the wall for installation.
For the other pegs on the bracket, I HIGHLY suggest using a Double-Sided Offset Snap, either the single version or the dual version for the bottom 2 pegs. You may already have snaps available on your existing Multiboard tiles that you can use. The key point here, is to make sure the bracket is supported directly against the wall behind the bracket, or else the Multiboard tile will flex.
