Side toolbox Upgrade for Extruded Aluminum Rail - fits Aquila and Ender 3 (and others)

thingiverse

This is a side toolbox that fits on the extruded aluminum rails of an Aquila, Ender 3, or other types of printers that use extruded aluminum and have 2 slots. This will hold a variety of goods, from pliers, tweezers, marker or glue spot, brushes, or other tools to keep handy. It slides onto the side of the machine, and will clear the bed so it won't be in the way. WHEN INSTALLING: Make sure you have enough space. The total length of the box is 130mm. You may need to shorten the model base on your specific machine and clearances. To achieve a sturdy hold, this item was not designed to "snap on" the rail. Instead, the end protector cap must be removed and this piece slides on from the back. Supports needed for the rail guides. The middle one can be pushed down and then slid off. the 2 on the ends snap and peel easily. I left the middle support on, but you can remove (will be hidden behind box). This is my first custom piece, designed in TinkerCAD to specific tools, but some are pretty standard so hopefully it will work for you! Items pictured (from back to front): Milwaukee snap-off razor knife, generic flat pliers (possibly Harbor Frieght), Task Force Needle nose pliers, bronze brush, Flat spatula #17, generic tweezers, Milwaukee markz-all, Generic curved tweezers, Sharpie marker. I am a social worker for a non-profit crisis and suicide hotline and don't get as much time to tinker as I can, so any donations are greatly appreciated to further my hobby! patreon.com/user?u=83728553 Also, always open to feedback, suggestions, or ideas to enhance and improve! With normal settings w/ PLA was about a 6-7 hour print.
