Re: 3D Printer stuff
I printed a few socket organizers and tested them out.. they were bad. So I'm just going to make my own. This is for my 3/8" allen sockets. I'll test it and see if it needs any adjustments.

Re: 3D Printer stuff
Planning on modeling a bunch of other trays for all the sockets I've got.. and weird stuff like crows feet and wobblies.

Re: 3D Printer stuff
woah, i never thought to do that... you may have to provide the file if it works out... thingiverse is fine...
Re: 3D Printer stuff
I like that idea too.
I have been disappointed with all of the commercially available socket holders for one reason of another, sometimes its the cost.

Re: 3D Printer stuff
For sure, i'd be happy to drop the files. The one I posted above is kind of custom. If you are doing a full socket tray you'd want variable spacing as the sizes get larger. This tray is for 14 allen head sockets with equal spacing. It's the same width as the Hansen 1/4 socket tray.
I do plan on making full rails though, but they might have to be two piece and snap or bond together due to the length. We'll see.

Re: 3D Printer stuff
The two files I grabbed from thingiverse already, I wasn't happy with the design. One had the center peg offset from the outer circle. That made for poor fitment. The second as stamped with a dumb logo.
I'll post more as I get them drawn up.

Pretty cool!
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Re: 3D Printer stuff
I agree.
But the older I get the more I think technology is going to extremely outpace me.
