Stubby magnetic bit holder with bit storage

thingiverse

Inspiration struck me from the Stubby magnetic bit holder by AldiPrinter. I was drawn to its sleek design and sturdy feel, but I knew I wanted more - a convenient place to store bits within easy reach. So, I embarked on a mission to enhance it, making extensive changes that required a fresh start. I recreated the model as a solid model from scratch, then generated the .stl files with precision. The thread used in this design is a custom rolled thread, similar to what's found in electric light sockets and lamp bases. Its unique properties make it surprisingly well-suited for 3D printing - every part of the thread is at least a 45-degree angle to the base, eliminating the need for supports or worrying about poor thread surface quality during printing.
