2020 Tool Holders

prusaprinters

<p>I can almost never find my tools when I need them. In looking for a better place to keep things, I realized there's a lot of space on the upper crossbar of my printer frame that's totally unused, even when the print bed is at maximum height. So, I printed up some compact holders to slot into the 2020 extrusion frame and neatly organize my tools out of my way.</p> <p>The holders are designed to fit snugly into the 2020 channel of my FolgerTech printer, though I'm guessing they'll work with any standard 2020 aluminum.</p> <p>Holder design #1 was designed for my pallet knife, which I use to remove prints from the bed. Design #2 works great for a set of tweezers (which I always seem to need when printing but can never find), and #3 was intended for a file.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>RepRap</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Folgertech 2020 Prusia i3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.3mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>70%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>The two "fork" style holders (#1 and #3) are intended to be printed with the points of the fork and the base of the T-nut facing down on the build plate. Design #2 prints on its side, with the short edge of the box resting on the build plate. See below for a picture of the preferred printing orientation.</p> <p>Because the parts are so small and the tolerance for a good, snug fit in the T-channel is so tight, printing in different orientations than described above may result in a less-than-ideal fit. If the fit doesn't work out, scaling the part by a few percent in the direction that isn't fitting may help get a better fit.</p> <p>A brim may be necessary, especially for the two "fork" style holders (#1 and #3).</p> <p>Cura was used for support generation at 25% support fill.</p> <h3>Printing Orientation</h3> </p></p></p> Category: Tool Holders & Boxes
