Pegboard Tool Holder Template (Base) For Derivatives

thingiverse

This is a versatile platform with clips that can be used to create various tool storage systems. My goal was to design a pegboard organizer that could print easily without scaffolding and without any support material. Fits 1/4 inch pegboard holes at 1 inch interval spacing. The base is a solid block of plastic with protrusions on the sides that "snap" into two separate side pieces, which are printed independently from the base. To use this base for your own project, you need to include the module in your project. The module requires only one argument: the width in inches (must be an integer if the project is going to fit on standard pegboard). Simply design the tool holes you want in the base using openscad and combine them with a difference call. I have included an example using an array of hexagonal holes to make a holder for small hex bits. There is a second module in the base file called baseDeep, which creates a deeper (i.e., extends further downward) base. I haven't used this yet, but it might be useful for creating angled tool holes that come out the front. If you just want to print the hex holder shown, all you need are the example.stl and side.stl files. The ".scad" and "base" files are for making your own tool storage systems in openscad. Print Settings: Printer: FlashForge Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 10% (base) 75% (side) Notes: It's a very easy print, which was the entire point of the design. I do print the side holders at 75% infill because the pegs themselves are so small that I want to protect against breakage, but that may be excessive on my part. The "side" file prints four of the side pieces, but you need only two for each tool storage system. Post-Printing: So Simple Just snap the two sides into the base and the entire thing should fit perfectly into your pegboard.
