Ultimaker 2+ Tool Holder (Left Hand Side)

thingiverse

Description This is my very first design for 3D printing and I'm proud of what I've accomplished, even if I haven't yet mastered CAD in full. That's why I used Tinkercad online, which proved to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use. After an exhaustive search, I couldn't find a tool/nozzle holder that fit all the tools that came with my new Ultimaker 2+, so I decided to create it as my very first project/design. Despite a lot of trial-and-error platforming, I'm happy with how it turned out - and would probably do things differently now if I had the chance! It has holders for the calibration card, SD card, razor blade, glue stick, four nozzles, three aluminum keys, and the spanner. I used a lot of PLA and it took a while to print, but I think it's worth it for the sake of tidiness (I'm a bit of a neat freak!). It's specifically designed for the left-hand side of the U2+ because there is a 1mm difference in the thickness of the side walls between left and right. I hope you like it! Materials and methods Please take a look at the attached picture of my settings. There's a lot of platforming involved, so make sure to keep it as close to the build plate as possible - or it will get stuck inside the holes! It took 16 hours to print and used 8.6 meters of PLA. Be sure to use CA (superglue) on the arms to secure them to the main body, or they'll slip out. This design was created using Tinkercad.
