3D Printer Tool Bench/Rack (Stud Mount)

thingiverse

I needed a rack to keep all my 3D printer tools and accessories neatly organized. Since my printer was housed in an unfinished portion of my basement, I designed a rack that fits between two exposed wood studs so I could screw it between them. This means the rack had to be 264mm wide. If your studs are not spaced that far apart, you may need to adjust the model. I hadn't yet learned parametric modeling when I built this model, so you'll have to adjust it by hand or add wood shims. This rack organizes many of my essential tools and accessories. They include a multitool, needle-nose pliers, and flush snippers - all three similar two-handled tools. It also holds a power plug, which I unplug from the 3D printer when not in use and hang it from the rack to keep it off the workbench. There are nine slots for tweezers or binder clips, three sizes of screwdrivers, an X-acto knife, a 3D print removal tool, five box cutter blades, three microSD cards, a USB stick, a glue stick, a digital caliper, four Allen wrenches sized to the ones that came with my Anet A8 printer, four pens of various sizes, and a rotary tool head. The rack is wider than my print bed, so I split it into two parts with a tongue-and-groove joint. They friction-fit together just fine, but you could glue them if you felt the need.
