Zippo Bit Safe for Short Bits

prusaprinters

Further design modification of the Zippo bit safe by Laura Kampf. This one is based on the revisions by WayofWood. A friend wanted one that would take the shorter, single tip bits that are only 1" in length. He didn't need to hold more than 4 of them. As such, the holes are only partial to prevent the bit from slipping down too far. Since the holes don't go through, there is no need for a hole in the side to insert a bit to stop the one used for driving (via the hex hole in the bottom). The same magnet pockets are maintained. I've included the f3d file as well as a step file for easy modification or tuning for your printer to get a good fit for your bits.Note that Zippo cases have a tab of metal in the lid to facilitate the snapping lid. In order to use any of these bit safes, that tab must be bent over or removed in some way, or else it will not close fully when there is a bit in the hole nearest the hinge. This may depend on the type of bit, of course, but at least now you're aware of it before testing… if you read this first. ;-)
