I bought a 3 tiered wooden spice rack off Amazon and was going to drill it full of holes, but that was proving to be a pain in the butt. So I decided to 3d print some holders to fit it. I will post pics as I go. Please excuse the mess. I have every tool I use often scattered around my bench atm
Oh, I will upload all these designs to Thingiverse when completed if anyone wants to print some of these.
It started off like this...
And here is the 3d printed 1/4" hex bit holder glued down with Shoe Goo (stuff works great for this)...
Got the box done for the pliers. I will probably print some pieces to drop in the bottom of the pockets to keep the pliers standing up straighter (OCD is a b!tch). I wanted the pockets to just be rectangular all the way down in case I change tools later. Custom inserts can be made quickly on the fly.
Lug wrench found a home. Isn't it cute
Of all parts to print and fit perfectly, the lug wrench slides in with a bit of a click.
Got the screw driver and hex driver box done. I redesigned it because I didn't like having the nut drivers in it. So I added some extra pockets for random things, a pocket for a snap-blade knife, and some paintbrush holders.
Nutdriver box complete with turnbuckle wrench holder and extra junk drawers.
Got the body cutting tools holder done (upper middle location). It has spots for two Xacto knives, extra blades, body reamer, markers, and three scissors. Next task is to make inserts to slide into the pockets the pliers are in to keep them standing up straight and closed.
Getting the inserts for the plier pockets done. These allow a modular design in case changes are needed. The inserts have an internal hole that a hook can get into to pull them out as they fit pretty snugly.
