This is a holder for organizing smaller screwdrivers on your table, for easy, single handed first order retrievability.

There is space for 18 small screwdrivers, 6 slightly larger (maximum 90mm blade length, 6mm blade diameter) and 12 smaller ones (maximum 60mm blade length, 4mm blade diameter).

My screwdrivers use color coding to some extend, indicating the type (Phillips, Hex, Torx, etc.) and I have tried to continue that around each spot, to help me locate and put back the tools, in daily use.

This is similar in design style as my wall mounted screwdriver holder, though smaller and with a few new details, that I think makes it nicer for tabletop use.

It's mounted on a base using an M6 screw (countersunk, 60 mm), two ball bearings (608/8x22x7mm) and a lock nut to keep it all in place.

It all prints without support, but if you want text on the decorative plates on the top level, maybe a 0.2mm nozzle is a good idea, to get a decent readability (I used a 0.2mm nozzle for these).

Preparation

This is designed in OpenSCAD and you can use the customizer to tweak a few things:

• You can select between a single layer (top layer only) or two layer (pictured) variant
• You can customize the text on the top layer decorative elements

If you export custom STL files for the text, simply import both the STL with the main decorative object and the STL with the text at the same time in Bambu Studio and select that you would like to import it as one object, then the text will be properly aligned. You can then use the object mode to define colors, print order, etc. The text element is only 0.16mm thick, matching 2 layers at 0.08mm layer height with 0.2mm nozzle.

CAUTION: Some of the print profiles on this project is set up for 0.2mm nozzle and print by object mode

Printing

I have printed the base, spacer and top using a 0.4mm nozzle and the decorations with a 0.2mm nozzle to get the text to look better, but if you aren't using the text or would like to print these on a printer without AMS, a 0.4mm nozzle should also be good for the decoration parts.

Assembly

Insert the M6 counter sunk screw though the bottom of the base plate

Place one bearing over the screw and fit it on the ledge on the base plate

Place the bearing spacer on top

Then fit the second bearing

Secure the sandwich using a lock nut. It should be tight, but no need to tighten it too much, just until it doesn't rattle and the bearings stay fixed

If the fit with the top section is a little loose (it's designed with a little bit of tolerance), you can put a small piece of tape on the side of the bottom bearing that will then fill in the gap and make a nice press fit, so that the base will move with the top, if the complete assembly is moved

Slide the top piece onto the stack of bearings. There is a small lip inside, that will rest on the edge of the top bearing, making sure it rotates freely above the base.

After mounting the top, you can place the decorative pieces. These should fit and it too loose for your liking, you can give them a tiny drop of glue, but I had to use a tool (helping on the inside of the holes) to gently get them out, even without any glue.

You don't have to use multicolored decorations or text, but I think it gives a nice look. Printing them all in a single color is also an option.
