RC Tool Stand - MIP

thingiverse

A friend asked for a tool stand for RC wrenches that can hold all sizes of MIP tools. Four larger orange or black handle wrenches, three smaller handled wrenches, and two medium ones (newer ball drivers) are needed to be held. Three turnbuckle wrenches, sharpie or X-acto knife combinations are also required. Four speed bits and a small parts tray to hold miscellaneous parts will complete the tool stand. It measures 162 mm wide, 43 mm tall, and 121 mm deep. A blank insert plate has been added that can be used to drop in logos or names. The tool stand was printed on a single extruder at .2mm layer height. The one pictured is made up of six different prints left attached to the build plate. There are probably easier ways to do this, but it worked. The print order was red, white, silver, yellow, and black, with a white insert cover as the final layer. The insert and logos were flipped 180 degrees so they would be smooth. An insert cover has been added that features a small tab to lift off the build plate. This is the only way to raise it without compromising the print. A default Silc3r PE setting was used for PLA, with 75% speed reduction from the printer. The total print time was around 13 hours. Color changes were added to make the tool stand pop. Color changes were found at 9mm, 10.2mm, and 40.2mm, giving the tray lip and rings on top different colors. Another color change pattern was tried by adding them every 10mm in the main body for 1mm stripes. A HUDY tool holder will be added soon. The new layout features color changes at 7.4, 8.8, 10.2, 39.2, and 41 mm, making it look pretty sharp. A ghosted AE logo is not included in this design. Another addition was the 1Up racing oil and lube holder, similar to one that I use but from Hudy tools.
