M3 Tap and Drill Case

prusaprinters

<p>I needed a case to hold a set of drills and taps for M3 fasteners. I was inspired by the square, telescoping tubes they ship cutting tools in and another design I'd made for a scalpel cover.</p> <p>It can handle bits that are 30-65 mm long and less than 3mm in diameter. It has 24 slots.</p> <p>The fit the top has is a bit too tight and I probably should have refined it further. However, the lid is firmly attached and won't unexpectedly release from the base so that's a positive.</p> <p>The wide base is both for stability and to give you something to grasp, either in your hands or on the table, when taking off the lid.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Sliced for PETG.</p> <p>Everything can print without supports, however I printed the lid with a brim give the base surface area to the height.</p>
