Description

I always wanted a specific tool holder that didn't require drilling holes into my printer. So I thought, what better way to start learning 3D design then to design my own.

So thats what I did.

Neatly designed in Tinkercad.
tinkercad.com/p/acc0b555ff3849bd/397

What you get: (Or at least what it was designed for)
  • 2 holes for common hex keys
  • 1 hole for X-Acto or other precision knife
  • 1 hole for calipers or scissors
  • 2 Slots for tweezers
  • +1 Awesome

Instructions

  1. Print
  2. Attach to desired location*
  3. Insert desired tools
  4. ????
  5. Profit

*If the tool holder is too loose where placed, apply a peace of paper or tape to the desired location then reattach tool holder.

Awesome Print! What settings, software, size filament etc, did you use??

Thanks. For the prints seen in the picture I used ReplicatorG 28 with Skinforage (35) and the default PoM settings. Printed on a Thing-O-Matic with HBP and Mk7 stepstruder. The filament used was 1.75mm. The color of the internal LED strips are soft white. 8-)

I *strongly* suggest not to store the knife with the blade pointing up like that.

I normally keep a cap on it. I took it off for photo purposes.

I like the holder. Also like the accuracy of the print. Clean Print. Nice pic.

Nice photo! How did you do that desaturation?

Thanks! I did it in Photoshop CS5.1. I just masked off the area I wanted to keep and desaturated the rest. A pen tablet made it easy. :-D
