There was not a magnetic organizer that exactly fit my Tekton socket set, so I made one. I combined it with some ½" plywood, some bar and cup magnets from Amazon and made a wall mounted socket set holder where I could easily remove 1 socket from the holder or the whole bank of sockets and take it with me.</p><p>My exact use case might not be what you are looking for, but the 3D printed parts should be useful for anyone that has this socket set for use in a variety of places.</p><p>I printed these on my Original Prusa Mini with 15% infill, 4 perimeters and 4 top and bottom layers using PLA. To get it to fit on my Mini I set the skirt to 0 loops. No supports were needed and the magnets fit really well press fitted in. Since I screwed these into backing there was no need to epoxy the magnets in.</p><p>Each bank uses 10 of the bar magnets, so for the whole project you need 40, making this not not a super cheap organizer.</p><p>I did make custom vinyl labels for mine, so there are indents where those labels go. My labels do cover up the screw holes. I included my label file in case you want to print your own labels, It was created in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a pdf and all fonts have been converted to outlines. If you wanted these exact labels you should be able to take this file to a sign/banner/sticker place and they could print these out for you.</p><p>I also installed some of my swiveling cleat locks on the back to lock these on the wall (link below).</p><p>I honestly forget what size flat head screws I used, Either #8 or #6 and it depends what you might be screwing them into to judge what length you need. (and my labels now cover them up).</p><p><strong>LINKS &amp; RESOURCES</strong><br><br>See the Ratchet &amp; Extension mounts for this set at: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/206670-magnetic-ratchet-extension-organizer-for-the-tekto">https://www.printables.com/model/206670-magnetic-ratchet-extension-organizer-for-the-tekto</a></p><p>Tekton Socket Set SKT15311: <a href="https://www.tekton.com/3-8-inch-drive-6-point-socket-and-ratchet-set-skt15311">https://www.tekton.com/3-8-inch-drive-6-point-socket-and-ratchet-set-skt15311</a></p><p>Bar Magnets from Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/37Nf94P">https://amzn.to/37Nf94P</a></p><p>Cup Magnets (if you want to make a base these organizers mount to): <a href="https://amzn.to/3sD6DfU">https://amzn.to/3sD6DfU</a></p><p>I got my inspiration from a video from Woodworker Anonymous on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8QCourD8N0&amp;t=676s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8QCourD8N0&amp;t=676s</a></p><p>My swiveling French cleat locks: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/161421-swiveling-french-cleat-lock">https://www.printables.com/model/161421-swiveling-french-cleat-lock</a></p>
