Side-supported tool holder for Ender 3 series

thingiverse

A scraping tool holder for Ender 3 machines (and any other that use the same aluminium struts) that attaches to the printer via the side grooves, and does not need to an anchor in the grooves on the top of the aluminium rails. This lets you use top-facing slot covers and also still use Martin's lovely tool holder at the same time. It also doesn't interfere with the common mini-drawers, as can be seen in photos. This does mean you have to take off the end caps to install it. Also, you'll need to sand a bit, because the printing supports end up in mildly annoying places. I've included a .gcode file showing the best printing orientation - it's the one I used to generate the version seen in the photos. But basically: top down, supports everywhere, as low a support percentage as your printer will let you get away with. Oh, I also used Niko's slot covers to make the side-attachment rails. Thanks! **ETA:** I made similar holder for the filament snips that also come with the printer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5328466
