Tool holders for Leapfrog Creatr (or other 40mm Aluminum profiles)

thingiverse

I always hate it to discover my tools have gone when I need them. especially the small hex wrenches that I need with my Leapfrog Creatr are always just missing when I need them (not that I need them that much though...) So I decided to make some clips to clip the tools on the aluminum profile that makes up the box of the Creatr. These are actually common 40x40mm extruder profiles with 8mm T-nut as delivered by Bosch, Maytec and othe manufacturers. The hex wrench holder holds 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3mm hex wrenches. 29-3-2013: new tool holders added for a pair of cutters and pliers, including a spacer just for the looks :) The SolidWorks file is for SolidWorks 2010 Instructions Print with 2 outer shells and 30% infill and clean up a bit. If you print it like I did (with the top surface on the build tray), there is an overhanging part that snaps into the groove. That may need sone cleanup to fit properly. I tried printing them sideways the blocks don't snap that well into the aluminum profile. It seems they are to strong and they tend to break in the corner (I immediately see white spots developing there when I click them into the profile).
