Quick answers

A few things to know.

Is HexaNect free?

Yes. HexaNect is free to use and no account is needed.

What do I need?

A computer with a modern browser, access to a 3D printer and slicer, boards, and tools to cut them to size.

Can I use a phone or tablet?

You can browse the site on any screen. The Builder is optimized for a computer, where there is room for the 3D view and controls, and you can prepare the downloaded parts for printing.

Should I test the fit?

Yes. Print one connector first because boards and printers can vary slightly.

Where can I learn more?

The Build Guide covers fit, fasteners, wall mounts and the project download. The Story page explains how HexaNect began.

Start building

What will you make?

Start from an example or a single hexagon. Change the dimensions, add cells and shelves, and let HexaNect generate the parts.
