    Something to consider. When I freelance I make sure to do test prints on critical components to test for fit and function before sending it to the client. It reduces the number of revisions and reduces frustration. Plus, it actually reduces turn around time. For my premium clients, I send them a full print as part of the completed project.

    I can 100% see the value in this but I'm the type of person who works with the mindset of "why would I pay someone when I can do it myself?" but I recognize that often they will do it MUCH better than I can. However I just don't get the sense of satisfaction as I would if I do it myself. Like changing the oil in my car. Forget the cost, just knowing it was done to MY standards, on MY schedule and that I know 100% that the right oil & filter were used and that the shop didn't scam me is FAR more valuable to me than having someone else do the job. Besides, I LOVE getting elbow deep and greasy. I know at the end that I did it and the sense of self-sufficiency is far more important to me than if someone else might be able to do it a little better.
    This is not to say there aren't jobs I will NOT do and that I am more than happy to pay for. Roofing for example. I've done it and I can do it but I am NOT going to do it ever again. That job sucks and it takes a special kind of person to do it more than once and I am NOT that type person. lol

    really interesting. regarding the design I am not sure if a 45 degree angle will be enough, but maybe add a version that has place for a rubber or anti-slip-matte or something like that should increase the adhesion enough so there is no force on the usbc. The USB-C in the part is not what I would be concerned though, it would be the female usbc in the object you are charging. As those are typically soldered on a pcb they cannot flex and will break more easily if there is constant force on them.

    Nice thinking. like it, but I don't see it beeing very flexible to move the chargers around or adding more as you have to take the multiboard down to screw the lock ring on the back. I would add an "hook" on top or it so you put the "hook" into the hole that is on top of the hole where the multibord connector goes in and then insert the multiboard connector and it should be very steady and hold good weight and can't get loose. Also having the cable going thru the multiboard connector could be done better I think. I would insert the cable under the multiboard connector and then up and into a sledge that is moveable. About the USB-C cable I would go with an angled connector so you will have the cable to the side and the bottom of the USB-C onnector in a fit "slot"and on a sledge so it can be moved closer to multiboard or further from the multiboard depending on how big the carging object is and that way have the center of gravity closer to the board.
    I would also make it so the surface where the charging unit is put is level so no problem with things falling down if the wall is shaking och it slide down or make unnesseary strain on the USB-C connector. I can't do CAD and I have to use MS Paint to fix a quick drawing of what my idé are and hope you understand what i mean or someone that can do CAD kan make it 🙂
    Here is my picture of the idea: ibb.co/q3c7zH51
    1: The sloped chargingstation with hook with cable going in from under the multiboard connector and into a slot in a sledge that is movable.
    2. The slot for USB-C cable. So no strain on the cable as it's going to the side and when pussing in the unit to charge onto the USB-C connector will be firm as the bottom of the USB-C connector is on the bottom of the sledge. Or pulled the USB-C connector up a few cm from the slot and insertet in the unint to charg and then set down in the USB-C slot again).
    3 The USB-C connector sledge that can move away or thowards the multiboard.
    1: The change chargingstation with level surface instead of sloped. Don't see any goos use for sloped when charging as the risk of it falling or straining the USB connector is much higher than the use of it beeing sloped (IMO🙂)

    Before switching to Multiboard I'd recommend reading the license. It's really not ideal for something that depends on a community to bring value to the ecosystem. The license requires that you publish any remixes under the Multiboard license. And you can't combine it with Creative Commons licensed parts because the licenses aren't compatible. The models you just published on Printables under CC BY-NC-SA violate the Multiboard license. Keep Making can also revoke your license anytime. At the same time you grant Keep Making certain irrevocable rights to your remix. It's not a community friendly project IMO.

    I did some test prints first and found I needed to print the Multiboard tiles at 99% size in x and y to get snaps to fit well. I guess you could also increase snap size to 101% maybe to make them tighter. I have found the screw in type connectors are best. I also found a really good honeycomb to multiboard adapter which has worked well.

    Pushing the USB-C heads through the nut isn't probably the best choice.
    I would rather make 3-4mm wide channel from the edge of the nut to the center, so it would have a cutout through which you can insert the cable to the middle hole, so instead of pushing the connector through the hole, you place the nut on the cable. As in, the nut profile isn't an O but C, not bigger hole for the connector but a cutout for the cable.
    Then it's also a bit more universal since the limiting factor isn't the size of the connector but the thickness of the cable and you can probably easily make the cutout 5mm wide without compromising the integrity of the nut and then pretty much all power cables should fit into the nut.
    I also should just fire up the Inventor and make a remix but I am currently just too tired after quite intensive 2 weeks of 3D CAD training. 😅

    my suggestion for this is adding an U shape lip on the end that pulls out to let the charging device sit its weight on so there isnt so much weight and tension on the usb port. you can probably do something like 2 holes on the bottom end parallel to the diagonal and have different length lips that slides in with clicking teeth to adjust length. hopefully that makes sense. haha.

I would really like a single page filterable list of all the components. Be able to filter by "big thread" or various other criteria.

    1500 for a turnkey product design isn’t actually that bad. You’re paying for a team and multiple revisions. And probably step files you could later send to a company that would make injection molds for mass production.
    For a company, $50-100 per man hour is common. So you’re paying for 15-30 man hours and they’re betting they can get it done faster. Design work is paid for by the hour, typically. It’s why freelancers in the US typically charge much more, it takes the same amount of time but our cost of living is much higher.
