SAB chisel holder - desktop caddy for SAB chisels

thingiverse

SAB and BMC chisels have very thin tungsten business end. Tungsten is very hard due to its crystal structure, it's the strongest known metal and hardness second to diamond, but its structure unfortunately makes it prone to shattering with enough applied force. I designed this desktop caddy for SAB chisels to have them readily available while working on a kit without having to mess around with protective sleeves or worrying about damaging the tips. there is no retaining feature, the chisels merely rest on the edges around the tungsten tip with a 0.5mm tolerance on the main part of the tool, and a 3mm space for the tungsten end to sit in. I designed this with the line of 11 SAB chisels in mind, the largest size that I know if being 1mm, so the 3mm space for tip to rest in was designed for a 2mm buffer for the largest chisel. I mention this because the block can also be used BMC chisels, but I can't say it would be useful or safe to use with BMC chisels over 1mm. See the cutaway images. The two version included on this thing are the same, only one is without the embossed SAB chisel sizes on top. **MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE CHANNELS AFTER PRINTING BEFORE INSERTING YOUR CHISELS.
