M4 & M5 Allen Key Clips

thingiverse

This is a set of clips for M4 and M5 Allen keys. I have too many Allen keys, so instead of throwing them away, I've decided to attach them to the tools or on the underside of furniture that they came with. This way, I can save precious time and effort each time I need that specific key for a particular tool because I don't need to get a screwdriver and fit it with the correct bit. I rivet them, but you can also use an M3 screw instead. For reference, I print those at .1mm almost solid because I want them sturdy. Actually, they're solid via the number of top/bottom layers, not just 100% infill, which may not be actually solid. They don't need to be, but they're small enough that it doesn't really matter much. The clips come out with just enough tolerance that I can press the keys in firmly and they stay gripped tightly (ie: they won't slide if attached to a vertical surface). Your mileage may vary. If the keys are loose for you or you can't get them in, try scaling the model by 1 or 2% accordingly. Hey, it's just a clip, okay? I'm sure you'll figure it out.
