Post cover: Printed Honeycomb Storage Wall

At Makerworld, the top project is the Honeycomb Storage Wall. The idea is simple: modular panels in the shape of honeycombs. You can insert custom items for storage and more into the honeycombs. I had a lot of spools with leftover black PETG filament. So I decided to print something for organizing tools.

Not that I was crafting anything. Just a regular tool set for a private home. First, I printed panels (honeycombs) and their mounts (for screws). I printed this model https://makerworld.com/en/models/16011-honeycomb-storage-wall-hsw-bambu-x1c-p1p-p1s-max-w#profileId-15092

Printing one plate took 99 grams of filament and 2.8 hours of time. Here’s a screenshot from my app:

The print profile is set to A1. But I have a P1S and the model is optimized specifically for X/P printers.

I printed 10 such plates. Then I started adding likes to everything that could be useful and not too heavy.

I gathered the plates together on the table and secured them with special elements.

They are quite difficult to insert, so it will be even harder to take them out. Also, note that the honeycombs must be mounted/assembled in the correct orientation. Otherwise, all the items will be inserted sideways :D

These are the corner pieces I used for mounting to the wall (for screws):

Here’s how it looks assembled:

I used double elements to secure two plates together. A large element for 7 pieces is used in the center to connect 4 plates together.

Then, we secure it with screws to the wall and insert all the printed items for our tools.

View before:

I removed the excess:

I screwed it in:

Here’s another nice shot:

Here’s how the wall looks now with the tools. The placement isn’t perfect, the number of elements, etc. But it’s not bad for a start. It’s a bit easier to find some tools.

And one more thing:

What about the costs?

10 panels. 1kg of plastic / ~ 28 hours of printing
Others - 16 prints at 900g / ~ 24 hours of printing

Filament costs 270 UAH per kg. It can be rounded to two spools of 1kg each.

So it comes out to:

plastic 540 UAH
electricity 52 hours * printer consumption. I won’t mention the cost of electricity here. My P1S runs through a 110V EcoFlow River 2 as a UPS. So the printer's consumption is less (it operates in both 110 and 220 networks, and the consumption varies greatly). But the EcoFlow works through a transformer. This all needs to be measured through a smart socket or something similar. An interesting idea (or maybe not) for a future post.

The size of the wall with honeycombs turned out to be ~ 120cm x 43cm

While I was printing all this (with pauses for changing the plastic, as I was printing with leftovers) - problems started with the nozzle. I decided to tackle this with a custom nozzle cleaner - https://tseivo.com/b/heheprint/t/Pz1Mpx32gz/vstanovyv-nozzle-wiper-na-bambu-lab-p1s
