I have been printing a ton of OpenGrid and Gridfinity lately, two open source systems for organizing your walls, desks, and drawers. In this guide I compare OpenGrid to Multiboard and why I picked the open source option, break down the boards, snaps, and Multiconnect system, get into Underware 2.0 cable management, and show how Gridfinity ties into all of it perfectly. All the resources and links are down below.
