Modular desktop tool caddy system

thingiverse

I required a tool caddy positioned beside my 3D printer to organize all tools I used for completing prints and working on designs. I determined that my perfect tool caddy would take more than 16 hours to print in one piece, so I opted for a modular approach instead. Print the base first and then select other holders according to your needs. The printing settings are not crucial - I printed mine at a relatively low resolution, which appears worse in the photo than it does in person. I used ten percent infill, though this can be slightly higher or lower without making a significant difference. Originally, my goal was for compartments on the base to be interchangeable, but I wasn't satisfied with the fit of connectors. I made them tighter and as a result swapping out parts after they've been seated usually doesn't work. This is especially true when using PLA filament - you may have different results with other types of filament. I designed this tool caddy to print on my Monoprice Select Mini printer's small bed. The USB drive holder has been tested on one printer and the fit was good, but I cannot guarantee it will work on all printers.
