<p>I've got the <a href="https://www.harborfreight.com/needle-file-set-10-pc-69876.html">10pc diamond needle file set</a> from Harbor Freight, and it comes in a cheap little plastic holder which works, but isn't great. I decided to get a little fancy and print up a holder, and then got even fancier and designed it to work like a "lazy susan" and turn.</p> <p>All you really need is the top piece, but if you want to have the turning "lazy susan" design, print out the fixing screw and the base, and find 1/4" balls. I used airsoft BBs as I've got a bunch on hand already, but you could use steel ball bearings if you wanted. I've also got small cutouts for rubber feet of about 1/2" (12.7mm) so it's easy to locate them evenly around the edge. Why? I happened to have three spares on hand and thought it'd be good to not have it sliding around my desk.</p> <p>Since the design is parametric, it's easy to change the size of the bearings, so I also created a version designed for use with 0.177" (4.5mm) steel BBs, if you happen to have those on hand.</p> <p>I've also added provision for a <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45234">Inexacto hobby knife</a> but it'll also work with a larger Xacto handle (or, for that matter, a smaller one) or a Sharpie or most anything. I love the Inexacto design and have probably printed 10 or so at this point.</p> <p>Things in the last photo:</p> <ul> <li>This HF diamond needle file set holder</li> <li><a href="/make:444389">Better dial for MPSM</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3436360">Velocity stack for Noctua 40mm</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3346607">MPSM WK9.1 extruder base with access to set screw</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3060923">Ugly little holder for cheap thermometer/hygrometer</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2429054">MPSM fan shroud with blow ring</a></li> <li><a href="/make:450660">MPSM filament guide</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3006746">Large carrying handle for MPSM</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2723365">Rude extruder spinner for MPSM</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45234">Inexacto hobby knife holder</a><br/> There's actually three of them in the photo, one hanging from a magnet on the printer, one in the middle of the file holder, and one in the crappy little green holder in the back that I never bothered to post.</li> <li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:897805">Rude gnome</a><br/> A test print from a while back that has found a home on top of the printer</li> <li>A crappy inexacto/sharpie holder that I never published</li> <li>A cool little painting I got from Sedona, AZ</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Tool Holders &amp; Boxes Summary</h3> <p>I've got the <a href="https://www.harborfreight.com/needle-file-set-10-pc-69876.html">10pc diamond needle file set</a> from Harbor Freight, and it comes in a cheap little plastic holder which works, but isn't great.

Other than that, there shouldn't be anything fancy about the print, and I didn't need supports. Everything should import in the right orientation for printing as well.</p>
