Description
Honeycomb storage … ceiling? I decided to use HSW to attach some new plant lights to my ceiling (to replace the ones you see in the photo … I'l update that once they're installed). This was a good opportunity to design an updated attachment insert to hold as strongly as possible to the drywall screws I use to hang the sections.
I prefer regular drywall screws over anchors because they leave smaller holes, and are capable of holding more than enough weight on their own.
The hex-shaped covers have just enough of a friction fit to stay in place, but can easily be pried out if you need to.
Print in the material of your choice at 0.2mm layer height. I use the "0.2 structural" setting in PrusaSlicer.
This is an updated variation of my Onshape customizer for Honeycomb storage wall inserts so you can find the full parametric CAD here at Onshape.
