Benchtop Tool Holder for 3D Printing

thingiverse

This was my most ambitious 3D print project so far, requiring an estimated 43 hours of printing time at a speed of 60 mm/s on a flat surface. While I'm just a beginner in 3D design and could certainly use some improvement, I designed the tool holder myself because I couldn't find one that suited my needs. The quality is not perfect as you can see from the photos taken early on when my Anet A8 was still relatively new. The X-axis started to bind up around 20 hours into printing due to Igus Drylin bushings, which I had installed shortly before. It didn't completely fail thanks to an application of oil on the rods, a valuable lesson learned: avoid using Igus Drylin bushings with standard rods. Despite its imperfections, this tool holder works for me and doesn't warrant reprinting due to its low quality. Two versions are included: one with "Anet A8" raised lettering on the front and another without. Additionally, I've provided the Sketchup files so others can modify or build upon the design as they see fit. I hope someone finds this tool holder useful or at least entertaining.
