3D Printer Tool Stand

thingiverse

This is a simple box for holding as many tools for 3D printing as I could think of or need to have near my printer. I initially designed this as a plain box, but that was using up too much filament, so I redesigned the walls with a more open structure. After experimenting with a number of possibilities, I settled on the open-diamond design. My intent is spatula, ruler, letter opener, and wire cutter in the back row, and superglue, glue stick, and USB dongle in the front. These happen to be the tools that I like to have handy next to my 3D printer. Your preferences may be different, of course, so use it how you like. Feel free to post any issues and/or (constructive) criticism in the comments, or a private message -- whichever you feel more comfortable with. V2: On actually trying the original build, I found that there was inadequate space for the ruler and (admittedly larger than usual) glue stick, so I expanded it a bit. V3: The ruler sticks up too far in the first two versions, so I gave its slot a bit more width to allow it to lean over further. (I may add a higher walls, or at least back wall, to that section in a future update.)
