March 21, 2020 Welcome to a strange new world. Great time to 3D print!

I have been busy on a few other projects but I am still working on this in the background. Jumped to current V16.

I have been playing with the hexagon size in order to find the best mix of print quality vs.ease of withdrawal of the bit.

Hexagon dimensions for each version: V14 = wall length:3.82, wall to wall distance: 6.616 V15 = wall length:3.88, wall to wall distance: 3.85 V16 = wall length:3.85, wall to wall distance: 6.72

I personally like to print face down so the front text comes out as clean as possible but that will affect the the hexagon opening for the bit. I'm trying to find a middle ground on hexagon size so it prints well on my MP Selct Mini V2. Other versions may work better on your printer.

The neodynium magets I bought from are a perfect fit.

Also worked out the cost of the project: PLA cost: 8.92 grams @ $22.99 per 1kg = 20.5 cents My magnet cost = 28.99 shipped for 25 neodynium magets = 1.15 each X3 = $3.49 Total material cost= $3.68

Original post - Mar-1-2020 This is one of the many projects I'm working with right now.

At work, I use several different Torx bits throughout the day. Getting to quickly and not losing, can be impossible some days. So I created this...

• six bits - they all remain in one place
• T8, T10, T15, T20, T25 along with a spanner bit. (I'm not a fan of the spanner bit. Broke 3 in one day. lol)
• helps to show which bit is currently in the driver
• designed to sit on the lip of a standard, metal tool box.

I have included two files.

Torque Bit Holder V12: is built to glue in Six-6X2mm magnets Torque Bit Holder V13: is built to glue in three-12.7 (1/2") X1.59mm (1/16") magnets

Since the supplier for my original order of 6X2mm magnets appeared to no longer sell the same item. I used this as an opportunity to increase and standardize the magnet size.

I bought these magnets and will adjust on how they fit: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D81-N52

Like the title says, it's a work in process. I don't wanna hear any whining. It's free dammit.

I love designing stuff.....peace
