Kincrome socket tray (13336P)

thingiverse

So my original ratchet broke in my Kincrome 13336P set due to some serious abuse, I picked up a cheap replacement, but it was slightly larger than the original, so I cut the original tray to fit. Over time, the plastic tray became brittle and eventually broke, leaving me with no tray and just a bunch of tools in the box. This was annoying because I could never find the correct-sized socket, so I thought, "I have a printer; this has been an issue for far too long." Skip through days and days, and 10+ revisions, and you've got yourself a socket tray. It's not perfect, as outlined below, but it does the job, and I'm not wasting anymore filament on this. The filament was changed out to create the text. So, what can you improve? The 11mm and the 7/16 could be tighter, as the wavy radius around the bottom inner edge is a bit loose. The universal socket and the 2" extension are a bit close, and a little difficult to remove. Not quite sure how I'd fix that; maybe reducing the depth of the cutout so it sits higher, as they are very close and getting my average-sized index finger between the two is a bit tight. I'll see how it pans out in the future and may come back to it if it creates enough headache. The ratchet cutout is a little off; we'll see how it turns out, looks okay for now. There's a tiny gap between the frame and the tray, approximately 1mm. I might make a shim, but it doesn't affect the operation, and it doesn't flop around as the outboard edges make good contact with the edges, but at the inboard edge, it's fractionally smaller for whatever reason. I was going to make a dowel to sit inside both halves so they could be glued together, but there wasn't much leftover room. I might just glue them together skipping the dowel. Attached is the SketchUp file; I used SketchUp, which is probably why it took so many revisions. Really should learn SolidWorks, especially since I have it. June 2018 update: Still going strong, no signs of wear. Haven't rectified any of the issues; seems fine! PLA holding up just fine. Print Settings: Printer: CTC Dual converted to single extruder Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .3 Infill: Minimum 7% Notes: 0 bottom shells needed (no need for a base as it sits in the tray and will never be seen; just wastes filament, and since it already uses in the region of 55 grams, saving 20g by removing the base seems logical; it also reduces print considerably.) 3 top shells 3 perimeters
