FREE COMMERCIAL USE!

 

PegPin was designed to address printability issues with pegboard

organizers. It is currently designed to fit a standard 1/8” thick imperial

pegboard, with 1/4” holes spaced 1” on center. If there is interest in

compatibility with other systems please reach out to me.

 

It is a fully printed, user friendly, strong, stable, and reuasable method of attaching printed organizers to pegboard walls. All you need is a 6mm W x 6mm T x 4mm D recess to integrate this system with your organizer design.

 

Instruction files included!

 

I had 6 main goals I wanted this system to accomplish.

 

Easily Printed:

Most models I have found require supports of some kind, I wanted a design

which could be dropped on a bed and printed, regardless of use. I also wanted a

design that worked well with PLA

 

Easily Integrated:

While a simple circular extrusion can absolutely produce a useable pegboard

mount, it can introduce issues with print allignment, and may not be easy for

beginner designers. I wanted a premade file which could be integrated by

nearly anyone with any software.

 

Strength:

A clear major drawback to printed pegboard attachments is the pegs are

notoriously easy to break. This calls back to the issue of design and integration;

most models cannot be oriented for proper strength.

 

Stability:

I have a pet peeve for loose pegboard connections. You try to put one thing

away and knock fifteen more off. Your tool wall can be turned into a wind chime

by a shaky printer. Putting things away can sometimes take two hands. I

wanted a pegboard attachment that stayed where I put it.

 

Removable:

Some printed clip systems can be used with pegboards, and they absolutely

work great. Only one problem, If you decide to reorganize, the pegboard can be

damaged removing a clip.

 

Fully Printable:

There are systems which can meet all of these criteria, but they usually require

parts of some kind. I wanted a system I could produce without leaving my

studio or stocking parts

 

If selling files or prints using this design you are responsible for ensuring it works for it's intended function. I make no guarantees this design will work in any way shape or form.
