Stabilisers for tools that keep falling over

thingiverse

I'm fed up with constantly having some of my tools tip over... Recently, I purchased a cheap set of reamers from China that's perfect for 3D printing. However, I had no way to store them properly. So, here is a holder designed specifically for them. The holes are undersized due to the printer (at least in my case), but the reamers work perfectly to correct that issue. I needed something to push out support from holes, and a set of pin punches was ideal; however, it was extremely top-heavy, so I created this holder. My original set came with a plastic holder that seemed unstable, so I printed a stabilizer that fits over it. To ensure a smooth finish, I used a sandpaper on a glass surface to sand the bottom completely flat. Mine had draft from the injection molding process, which resulted in a crown-like shape at the bottom, making it even more unstable. My holder measures 80x22.5mm at its base and 75x17mm for the main body. If you have these dimensions, the stabilizer should fit perfectly. This is the most challenging print due to the unique shape of the original holder. The last thing that always seems to fall over is my soldering water bottle from Weller. Most of the flux has been wiped off my table, so I created a holder for it as well.
