Pack More! Ikea FIXA Drill Box mod

thingiverse

Pack more items into your IKEA FIXA Drill box. I threw out the moulded orange insert which only held the drill, power adapter and set of screws. Pretty big waste of space IMO. Adding a smaller FIXA screwdriver and adapter plus drill bits, flexi chuck heads, hex screwdriver set was fine until I threw in a manicure drill (to file PLA prints). While it was still relatively easy to retrieve items, putting them all back in each time was becoming a pain. These clips are designed to help organise the box to fit all these photographed components into the box (or on the cover). All clips are mounted with a pair of M38mm screws, except for the flexi chuck on the cover, held on by 4 M36mm screws. Reverse drill bits, screwdriver heads are held on with double-sided tape. The power adapter holders are designed for EU 2-pin plugs. I've added the Sketchup files for these so feel free to mod away. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: Yes Notes: Support used for power adapter holders, none for the other parts. How I Designed This Design was ground up, by placing all the items in the most optimal way for access (regular items first). Then braces or holders were marked over paper, transferred to Sketchup drawings. Mounting is a tad difficult for the base because you cannot really see the screw holes. Solution is to place the part, mark an outline with pencil, then a piece of tape or PostIt over the part, tracing over the shape and punching through over the screw holes. Reverse over the pencil mark made on the box, mark holes and drill through. Drilling done in 2 parts, first with a 1mm drill bit, then a 3mm bit to open it up, making it easier to screw the M3 screws onto the parts.
