Description

Engineered Modularity. Industrial Strength. Gallery Aesthetic.

Infinite Scale: From compact hooks to wall-to-wall installations, the system resizes to any custom length with seamless 10mm grid precision.

 

The Gallery Rail is a high-performance organization ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between industrial utility and modern home decor. Born from the mechanical logic of professional tool organizers, this system allows you to build a custom-length entryway "gallery" that is as strong as it is beautiful.

Design Your Perfect Setup!

Don’t guess—plan! I’ve built a custom Gallery Rail Configurator  (https://thegalleryrail.lovable.app/ <only works on desktop>) to help you design your wall before you even hit “Print.”

How to use:

  • Custom Widths: Enter your available wall space and the app will calculate the perfect combination of R07S, R14S, and R24S rails.
  • Drag & Drop: Visually place hooks, shelves, and tech docks to see how they look.
  • Zero-Waste Printing: The app automatically generates a Bill of Materials (BOM), telling you exactly which files and how many R00 Connectors you need.
  • Auto-Fill Logic: Use the "Auto-Fill" button to perfectly calculate the Aesthetic Fillers needed to give your rail that gap-free, furniture-grade finish.
  • Experience your custom Gallery Rail before you hit print. Our 3D engine uses live data from the configurator to assemble a high-fidelity representation of your layout.

Key Design Pillars

1. Infinite Expansion with "Zero-Snag" Alignment

Forget fixed-size racks. The Gallery Rail features a precision-fit tongue-and-groove connection system enhanced by a dedicated Rail Alignment Connector.

  • The Spline Connector: A precision-printed internal joiner that bridges the seam between rails. This ensures perfect X/Y alignment, allowing modules to glide effortlessly across joints without catching.
  • Modular Segments: Print as many rail sections as you need to fit your specific wall dimensions.
  • Hardware Compatibility: Designed specifically for Countersunk (CSK) screws. To ensure modules slide freely over mounting points:
    • Max Head Diameter: 8mm
    • Max Head Height: 3.5mm

2. Maximum Shear Strength (Side-Print Optimization)

Every hook and attachment in this system is optimized for Side-Orientation Printing.

  • The Grain Advantage: By printing on the side, the filament layer lines run parallel to the gravitational load. This eliminates the #1 cause of 3D-printed hook failure: layer-line shearing.
  • Functional Integrity: Confidently hang heavy bags, winter coats, and bulky lanyard sets without worrying about the hooks snapping.

3. Curated Lifestyle Add-ons

This isn't just a row of hooks; it is a "Valet Station" for the modern home:

  • The 'Docking Peg' (T-Hook): A minimalist interface for keyrings that feels like a precision dock.
  • The Wide-Strap Ledge: Features a radius curve to support delicate bag straps and textiles without creasing them.
  • The Multi-Valet Tray: A consolidated ledge for wallets, and accessories.
  • Smart NFC: A dedicated module with a hidden internal cavity for an NFC tag. Tap your phone as you grab your keys to trigger "Leave Home" or "Arrive Home" automations.

The Grid System: 10mm "Slot" Logic

The Gallery Rail operates on a standardized mathematical grid, making it incredibly easy to plan your layout and ensure a perfect fit every time.

  • Standardized Unit: The system is divided into 10mm Slots.
  • Logical Naming: * Rails: Named by slot count and total width (e.g., R07S_70mm is a 7-Slot rail).
    • Modules: Named by the number of slots they occupy (e.g., M1S_Key_Holder occupies exactly 1 slot).
  • The "5-Slot" Rule: To ensure a rock-solid assembly, the left and right connectors of each rail segment occupy 1 slot each. This means an R07S rail provides 5 usable slots (50mm of active mounting space) for your modules.

Why this matters:

This grid system allows for Infinite Combinations. Whether you need a 10-slot wide mail station or a 3-slot minimalist key dock, the math always lines up. Seams stay tight, and the aesthetic remains balanced.

 

How to Build Your Gallery:

  1. Measure your wall space in 10mm increments.
  2. Print the required number of rails and one Rail connectors for every seam.
  3. Mix & Match your modules (M1S, M2S, M3S) until your slot total matches your available rail space.
  4. Slide & Lock everything into place for a custom, professional finish.

Component Directory

Check Gallery_Rail_BOM_List.pdf for full Build of Materials list

1. The Foundation (Rails & Connectors)

The skeletal system for your gallery. All rails are based on a 10mm modular grid.

2. Functional Modules & Heavy-Duty Hanging

Engineered for everything from tech to heavy outerwear.

3. The Ledge Series (Strap & Item Support)

Wide-profile ledges optimized for bags, belts, or folders.

4. Smart Tech & Finishing Touches

Integrated automation and aesthetic gap management.

 

Pro Tip: Use the Aesthetic Fillers to occupy the exact number of empty slots between your functional modules. This hides the internal mounting rail and gives the system its signature "solid-piece" look.

Smart Tech Integration: The NFC Module

The Tools-HIS_M3S_NFC is more than just a placeholder; it’s the brain of your entryway. It consists of a Base that slides into the rail and a Snap-fit Cover that houses the tech.

Assembly Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tag: Take a standard 25mm NFC sticker or disc.
  2. Seat the Tag: Peel and stick (or drop) the NFC tag into the internal circular recessed slot of the NFC Cover.
  3. Join the Parts: Align the cover with the NFC Base and slide/snap it into place.
  4. Install: Slide the completed module into your Gallery Rail.

Simple Steps to Program Your Gallery Rail

You don’t need to be a coder to use this. You just need an app to "write" an instruction to the tag.

1. Get the App

  • iPhone: Use the built-in Shortcuts app (Automation tab).
  • Android: Download MacroDroid. It is one of the most powerful and user-friendly automation tools for Android.

2. Create an Automation (MacroDroid Workflow)

  1. Open MacroDroid and tap Add Macro.
  2. Trigger: Tap the (+) on the red Trigger bar and select NFC Tag.
  3. Scan: Tap "Write New Tag" and touch your phone to the Gallery Rail NFC module. Name it (e.g., "Entryway Dock").
  4. Action: Tap the (+) on the blue Actions bar and choose what you want to happen.
