Design Concept

The Snug Drill Bit Holder is meticulously crafted to organize and hold various sizes of drill bits securely. Its compact and efficient design ensures ease of access while maximizing workspace cleanliness.

Use

This holder is ideal for workshops and DIY enthusiasts looking to keep their drill bits neatly organized. Users can quickly locate the required size, improving workflow and efficiency.

Print Suggestions

Use high-strength filament such as PETG or ABS for durability. A layer height of 0.2mm is recommended for fine details and strength. Ensure proper bed adhesion to avoid warping during the print.

Assembly Instructions

Simply place each drill bit into its respective slot labeled with its size. No additional tools or glue are required for assembly.

Highly customizable snug box (lidded) for drill bits by jprofesorek on Thingiverse: https://www.***********.com/thing:7253198

Summary:

A snug box for drill bits. Customisable size, number & layout of compartments, tunable cutout for picking up drills etc.A lidded box for drills, initially designed to be as small as possible and fit each drill in a separate compartment. After surprisingly little effort the design application has been broadened to generate drill boxes with customisable number and length of compartments, which width is a given multiplication of drill diameters.Note that not all customisation can be done in customizer interface, for the latter does not allow customising arrays of arbitrary size. So start by changing the drills and lengths to suit your needs, e.g.,drills = [ 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 ];lengths = [ 49, 57, 61, 70, 75, 80, 86 ];defines seven compartments that should fit drills of provided diameter and length.Only then head to the customizer interface, where you can tune how many drills should sit in each compartment, how longer/broader/taller the compartments shall be (than the drills contained in them), and where to place the cutout for picking up drills (if any).Also, the wall widths, hinges and latches can be customised.The .scad can also add mouse ears to aid battling the wrapping that can be an issue upon printing model of this size (YMMV).The attached .stl files are as follows:The box that I printed for myself, photos of which accompany the model.It stores drills starting from 4.5mm every 0.5mm up to 10mm, and suits me good enough, but it's hard to pick up a drill with one's fingers (too tight spacing), so I do not recommend this version.Rework of the box above, where the cutout for picking up drills is placed so that one can pick up drills easily (at least I hope so).Box for dill bits of diameters 9, 7, 5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 (in that order), two drills per compartment, with mouse ears enabled.This model is there to showcase what can be customised.I printed my box with 0.2mm layer and 0.5mm nozzle, out of ASA, the material which I discourage to use for this print, for it wraps more than others (but I eventually need to learn how to print ASA, hence this mostly successful attempt).
