inlay for socket set brand facom

thingiverse

I'm sharing my very first design upload, completely clueless about the resolution. It's a creation made using Windows 3D Builder. The main challenge was that the socket set inlay was incredibly brittle and kept breaking everywhere. Rather than ordering an entire new set just because of this issue, I decided to take matters into my own hands and designed my own alternative. After three trials and carefully testing all measurements, everything turned out spot on. Each socket fits seamlessly with virtually no wasted space. The only thing worth noting is that some sockets were replaced with equivalents from Gedore (a well-known brand), so you may need to re-measure those specifically. One thing I do know for sure is that the 3D print isn't perfect. In my case, I had to carefully clip away tiny spacers inside the Facom box on both sides and give the outside of the print a bit of a sanding. Once I did this, the fit was excellent. My custom inlay features 14 sockets and all the necessary accessories, plus extra room for storing additional bits (I managed to squeeze some in).
