TLDR: Gridfinity baseplate adapter system for 1" or 25.4mm spaced pegboard (American)

 

This is an organizational system for the Gridfinity platform that allows one to adapt it to their pegboard. This is a modification of my similar design of the Screwdriver holder: https://makerworld.com/en/models/514774#profileId-431959 . Check it out if you're interested.

 

This design features removable peg-clips which will avoid wasting an entire print from one little break. Simply print 2 of each size with the curved ends on top, and snap them into the back of the print. If they ever get worn out or break, remove them with a pair of needle-nose pliers and replace as needed. Thats it. I recommend printing the baseplate in PLA and the pegs in either PETG or ABS; However PLA will honestly work just fine. As long as you don't need to move it around constantly they should hold up.

 

I used (blatantly stole) the idea of removable peg dowels from @RyukyuD on Printables, specifically from his Modular Tape Storage design. I highly encourage you to download his design and show him some love. The curved and straight peg clips are NOT my design, nor are the female adapters in the back of the unit.

 

I recommend snapping the gridfinity storage accessories of your choice in between the connections of the boards so they will behave as one unit instead of 2 separate ones.

 

Support will be required however it doesn't use too much filament. I suggest increasing the Z top distance of the support for a cleaner removal. It won't look super pretty but its functional and will be covered up by gridfinity storage accessories anyways.

 

This creation is as simple as I could possibly make it. Obviously there isn't much of a relationship between the 42mm squares and 25.4mm spacing of a standard American pegboard... On paper it doesn't seem like the clearances of everything will add up to be a nice straight line with consistent spacing, however you'll find that it actually works just fine. We're not splitting the atom here; Just slapping some stuff on a pegboard.

 

I've played around with this design a lot and printed it multiple times in multiple different ways, along with actually USING it to see if its good or not (something i wish more designers would do). This design has passed my test of durability and functionality as of the time of uploading, however if you feel it could be improved please let me know in the comments. I'm worried about it sagging long-term but so far my setup has held strong for a few weeks now so i feel comfortable with uploading the design as-is.

 

Buy me a beer on Venmo if you found this useful @Jacob-Schnetzer

Anyways, if you have any problems or requests just yell at me in the comments and i'll (probably) help you out.
