8pc Metric Tap Set Storage Box

thingiverse

I throw in the towel! Trying to predict how much a hole will shrink so I can compensate either at design or with slicer "dimensional adjustments" and then discovering that not all PLA shrinks the same or not all holes shrink the same is enough to make me binge Netflix instead of creating! I bought an affordable set of hex shank metric drill bits and metric taps. Of course, the $10 tap set came packaged under a plastic blister. I see some tap sets have boxes but none for THIS tap set. That may be true for you, but the files include my Fusion 360 F3D file so you get a head start on a remix! The files also include three knurled handles for the three smallest taps. Be prepared to use a drill bit to ease out the bottom hole. Print the top face down without support. Having the text cut through the top is easier than cleaning up support. The snap-on cover needs work or maybe print it with TPU? It's pretty tight and likely a nail buster to get it off. If I finish a case for the hex bits, I'll see if I can learn how to make a hinged cover or something that at least comes off a bit easier and update this thing.
