This is a rebuild of GOEWS in OpenSCAD to allow for easy generation and customization of parts. It requires the BOSL2 library and Gridfinity Rebuilt in OpenSCAD installed in the library path.
It also introduces a variant with thicker cleats which improves the weight capacity of the tiles by 60%.
Arbitrary tiles of any size, both hex and grid, can be generated. Within the tiles units can be removed using a skip list to work around obstacles such as electrical receptables.
The tile mounting holes can be adjusted as well to accomodate different screw sizes and types. Setting the countersink to 0 allows for flat screws to be used. This is particularly useful to account for when anchors are not perfectly aligned avoiding having to make new holes in your wall.
For hex tiles any tile edge can be optionally filled in. This is particularly useful for the top edge as it adds additional mounting holes that are more likely to hit a top plate on a standard drywall-covered wall.
The thicker cleats variant can hold 60% more weight when used without the threaded bolts. As a side-effect, the tiles actually use about 14% less filament and no longer have sharp edges.
From testing, the original cleats, without bolts, held at 25lb and failed at 30lb. The thicker cleats held at 40lb and failed at 45lb.
Hooks are similar to the original ones. The shank and post dimensions are configurable.
Racks are a new type of part that can be used for hanging items with wide tops. This is quite useful for storing cables, bar clamps, screwdrivers, etc.
Shelves can be generated with any width and depth. There are variants with holes, slots, and Gridfinity bases as well.
Bins are simple square bins with customizable width, depth, and height.
Cups are simple cups with customizable inner diameter and height.
Hanger mounts allow you to mount almost anything to GOEWS.
Holes can be placed at any position on the plate, which can be made thicker to account for the hardware. The holes can be made for heat-set inserts, self-tapping screws, hex nuts or bolts, sqare nuts, socket and button cap screws, and flat countersink screws.
Cable clips are useful for organizing cables. Plates with multiple clips are supported and clips can be made to hold single or multiple cables.
Bolts are similar to the original ones. The length and socket width are configurable.
A part generator is included that provides a web interface to generate the supported
parts. The openscad command must be available in the PATH for the user running the
server and BOSL2 must be available in the library path.
To run it locally in dev mode:
make serveThe application will be available at http://localhost:5173/
To build for production:
make serverThere is Systemd unit definition in systemd/goews.service. It assumes the location of
this repo is checked out at /srv/goews-rebuilt-openscad and a user goews exists.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended that nothing under the checkout is
actually writable by the goews user.
PRs and suggestions are welcome :-)
