Hex Bit Tray

thingiverse

I wanted something to help sort all my hex socket bits and wasn't happy with the options I found available to me that my small printer could print. This allows you to print one left side, one right side, and as many middle peices you need to get the size you want. Each gives you the capacity to hold 25 bits. FYI - I am personally printing 4 total (1 left, 2 center, 1 right) for 100 hex bit slots. Will post pictures as soon as the print is complete. Regular Version You need to print at least a left and a right version (50 hex slots) for it to look good. Each hex tray has a circle groove for you to glue the peices together. Left tray has female, tray has male, and center tray has male to the left and female to the right. You need to print a left and right at minimum (50 hex slots) for you to connect them so there isn't a groove. If you like you can just have them pressed against eachother without glue in case you decide you want to move them around or add center peices at a later date. Magnet Version I made the regular version for myself because I didn't feel like ordering magnets but I went ahead and made a magnet version for y'all. You can glue 8mm (diameter) x 1mm wide magets into the circular grooves which would hold the pieces together. Here are some magnets that'd work - https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Use-Refrigerator-Magnets-Craft-Project/dp/B07G878JHK/ref=sr_1_5?crid=332YQG4F6AVOY&keywords=8mm+x+1mm+magnets&qid=1642129392&sprefix=8mm+x+1mm+%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-5 Please share your prints if you do decide this work for you.
