Alfawise U30 - Tool rack for the left side

thingiverse

I didn't find any suitable tool racks for Alfawise U30 here yet, so I created one of my own. This is my first self-designed creation, so keep in mind that it has a couple of flaws: DON'T USE A RAFT, BRIM, or SKIRT! The fit to the aluminium extrusion is extremely tight. I calibrated the design with a 10mm bit of the profile, but here the profile is 60mm long. I managed to get it in place by forcing it through a bit of aluminium extrusion a couple of times. Any kind of raft, brim or skirt would make this very hard if not impossible. The leg of the machine is suitable for the job, but be sure you don't use a hammer on the side where the threads are, so you get your machine back together! The upside of this tight fit is that the result has a firm grip, so the rack won't move or vibrate during any print. I could have altered the profile by .1mm in every direction, but with my current CAD skills that would take me all day, so I leave it be and just appreciate the tight fit. The hole for the wrench is also a bit tight. If you want it to be loose and free, make the hole .5mm wider. I thought that the wrench is used so seldom that it doesn't matter if it's a bit tight. You just have to put it in place really carefully and with two hands to keep the rack intact. And like this, it sits tight without vibrating and making any sound during printing. The holes for the allen keys are a bit wide. It seems that you can reduce .5mm of the radius from every hole, but I haven't tested this yet. The rack mounts on top of the left side horizontal 20x40 extrusion behind the screen (if you have the screen on the left side). There are places for tweezers, wrench, allen keys, two screwdrivers, wire cutters, two micro-SD's and a 50mm scraper (60mm hole). It can be used with the screen cable clips (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3437162) and there's a little additional protection for the cable as well. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
