List Defined Tool Rack

thingiverse

This is a tool rack designed to keep frequently used tools readily accessible on my workbench, rather than having to rummage through my toolbox every time I need them. This tool rack is tailored to my specific set of tools, but the driver handles are implemented as lists of lists. You'll have to edit these lists in the OpenSCAD file to match your desired set of tools. The STL file would only be useful if you have an identical set of tools to mine. It's included so you can view a render on Thingiverse, although they've been inconsistent with rendering lately. The lowest level of list describes a single driver, while a list of drivers creates a row of drivers. The first list generates the first row, and subsequent lists create rows sequentially behind it. The ButtDiameter of each driver is assumed to be its largest diameter, which, along with the "Space" variable, determines the spacing between drivers and rows of drivers. I didn't attempt to justify the spacing of the drivers, so the right edge can appear ragged. I simply distributed my drivers into ranks to achieve a mostly even layout. The pliers box at the front is defined by a number and a set of dimensions. Update: I've tweaked the code slightly to allow turning off the pliers boxes by setting the pliers count to zero. This realization led me to use this tool to generate an organizer for my milling machine bits, router bits, counter sink bits, and centre bits. I've also updated the comments to better explain the elements of the list.
