Piercing saw sawblade organiser - silversmithing

thingiverse

Note: I have been accused of stealing this somehow. I'm not sure you can steal a round box with compartments seeing as this is pretty much a normal design, but to address this, I have added a small collage of what inspired me to make it. I hope that will erase any doubt as well as give credit where credit is due. The primary inspiration for this was someone who used PVC pipes to store his scroll saw blades, and I thought I would 3D print a box like that. I also wanted a small "window" into the box to see if there are any blades in a particular compartment. This is a bit double-edged as that will also allow dirt to get in there, but it's probably gonna be ok. I designed this storage box for silversmithing saw blades based on a few different kinds of storage boxes. I have often seen the wooden one where your blades are just standing there, but that one doesn't go easily in a drawer as you can't tip it on its side. So I wanted something closed - and that's where this comes in. It requires a heated insert and a 4mm spring with a 4mm ball(the last two are optional, but STRONGLY recommended). If there's interest, I could make a version that doesn't require a heated insert
