Tool Tidy

V2 Alterations: 1)Have realised I can improve this slightly, so have posted "V2".Basically, the original works fine but I'm finding it just a little fiddly to slot the scraper into it's slot. I have therefore added a slightly higher back wall that will help guide the scraper in without needing to be so careful. 2) Have made the slot for the callipers a bit bigger as it fit one of my callipers but the other was too big as it had a small bracket holding the slider in place. If you hold the callipers as if reading them, you might have a small bracket close to the end of the slidey bit (far right). The original allows for this to be 4 mm thick, V2 7mm (photo added to show the bit I mean). ******************************************************** Another tool tidy. I made this for all the tools I use for printing, spare parts etc but also as a learning exercise for myself in Fusion 360. Very nice clean print, but takes a while. All the tool spaces are pretty generic. The one exception is back right which fits a particular screwdriver set in a case I have. However, this also works for all sorts of other things that could fit in that space, such as loose screwdrivers. The slot for the scraper is deliberately wide as I intend to get a better/wider scraper in the future. Additional comments on the design so people are aware, as I'm not going to redesign it: 1) I used 1.5 mm walls between the sections. This has made the tool tidy really strong. I like it that way but could have saved filament with 1mm thick walls and would probably still have been strong enough. 2) The small slot at the very back, right side, is for callipers. I have 2 pairs, one fit one did not. Read the start of this post to see which version you need. Additional notes: My plan deliberately left off spaces for the hex keys (x5 with an Ender 3) and .... ok, no, I forgot to put them in *laugh*. When I spotted this the design was too far in and already taking up the full width of the printer. I therefore made a separate piece that you can simply glue on wherever suits you. Have included it here if anyone wants it. Dimensions are such that it matches the tower at the back left, but can be added anywhere that suits. Nice easy print, though a long one, and I was really happy with how this came out.
