List Defined Tool Rack

thingiverse

This is a tool rack to keep the most common tools I use quickly available on my workbench, rather than having to dig them out of my toolbox every time I need to use them. This is specific to the tools I have, but the driver handles are implemented as a list of lists. You will have to edit the lists in the OpenSCAD file to match the set of tools you wish to put in your copy of the rack. The STL file would only be useful if you have the exact same set of tools that I have. It is included so that you can look at a render on Thingiverse (if Thingiverse actually gets around to rendering it, it has been rather hit or miss lately). The lowest level of list is a description of an individual driver. A list of drivers creates a rank of drivers. The first list will create the first row, and subsequent lists will create rows sequentially behind the first. The ButtDiameter of a driver is assumed to be the largest diameter of the driver, and along with the "Space" variable determines the spacing between drivers and rows of drivers. I made no attempt to justify the spacing of the drivers, so the right edge can be ragged. I just distributed my drivers into ranks so that they came out mostly even. The pliers box at the front is just defined by a number and a set of dimensions. Update: I have tweaked the code slightly to allow turning off the pliers boxes by setting the pliers count to zero. I realized that I could use this tool to generate an organizer for the milling machine bits, router bits, counter sink bits, and centre bits I have. I have also updated the comments to better describe the elements of the list.
