This saddlebag-style tool holder set for the Snapmaker  J1 will keep your tools and accessories for 3D printing organized and in easy reach.

The Left Tool Holder has dedicated space for:

• (2) X-Acto knives (#1 and #2)
• (1) deburring tool
• (1) Sharpie Fine-point marker/pen
• (2) spare hot end assemblies
• (12) spare nozzles
• (1) X-axis belt tensioning tool
• (1) Y-axis belt tensioning tool

An extra recess is available to store extras such as a USB stick or Nozzle torque tool.

The Right Tool Holder has dedicated space for:

• (4) bottles of Magigoo bed adhesion promoter
• (1) complete Snapmaker J1 toolkit
• (2)additional hex wrenches
• (1) 1/4" drive ratchet
• (2) drive sockets (6mm, 7mm, and/or 8mm)

The printer rests upon a flange on the side of the tool holders, keeping them stationary even at high print speeds. If desired, this flange has a recess for a piece of 3M VHB tape, but I have not found the use of the tape necessary.

Print Settings

Printer:

Snapmaker J1

Rafts: 

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution: 

0.2mm

Infill:

25

Filament:

Polymaker / 3DXTech PC / Support Material 

Any

Notes:

I printed this using Polymaker Polymax PC-FR, but feel free to use your filament of choice.

To fit these pieces on the J1 print bed, you will need to place it an angle.

I suggest printing with at least 5 lines of brim to ensure the corners do not lift due to the natural properties of cooling plastic. I also always suggest the usage of Magigoo to promote proper bed adhesion and easy print removal.

The left tool holder will require supports due to the recesses for the X/Y belt tensioning tools. I strongly suggest 3DXTech Aquatek X1 dissolvable support material. This material leaves a flawless surface and is easily removable in a one-hour dip in an ultrasonic bath at 48C.

The right tool holder does not require any supports.

Post-Printing

• Remove the print from the bed after it has cooled.
• Use a deburring tool or sharp XActo knife to trim the brim from the bottom of the print.
• Remove the support material from the left tool holder.
• Lift the printer and slide the tool holder under the appropriate side.

How I Designed This

This was designed in Fusion 360. I have included the STEP and Fusion 360 formats of the model in case you would like to make alterations for own usage.
