Tool Caddy Base for 1" Aluminum Square Tubing

thingiverse

The coffee cup I was using for holding little misc tools was getting top-heavy and tippy, so I designed this base to be used with aluminum square tubing. The tubing was cut to 3", 4" and 5" lengths, then friction-fit onto the base (I had to clean up/chamfer the edges of the tubing with a file), then all the tubing lengths were CA glued to each other. I used CA glue to secure the lead weights into the channels in the bottom to add weight. I also realized that the whole thing was pretty front-heavy after building it, so I printed the wedge foot and CA glued it to the front. If you're using only lightweight tools, you might not need it. I'm including STL, 3MF and F3D files so you can print and tweak to your heart's delight.
