Pegboard drill holder

thingiverse

Note! This is one of my least favorite designs among all my creations. It wobbles excessively and fills me with sadness whenever I put the drill in or take it out. Been thinking about how to improve it, but haven't taken the time yet because although this isn't great, it's still functional. So, be warned. Someday I'll get around to remixing it, but you might also consider some of the many excellent designs available elsewhere. Needed a drill holder for my pegboard and found the original, which I liked, but I'm almost never satisfied with leaving something unchanged. Loaded the STLs into SketchUp and chopped off the right-angle pegboard hook from the original design and swapped the pegs from my 2-position blank, which I've found work well. The drill I'm hanging is also not as heavy as the original was designed for, so I cut off the lower extension and simplified the design. I removed all the holes because the weight of these parts isn't an issue and having to print the shells for each hole would really slow down the print time. I've got two variations on the design: drill-holder-large and drill-holder-small are the large and small ends in a 6mm width with the pegboard hooks offset to the edge, so these can be printed lying flat without supports. I found them to be perfectly effective but they moved around a bit on the pegboard, so I designed the wider versions which have the pegs centered on the back. These require a small amount of support but sit nicer on the pegboard.
