Organization Holder for Mini-tools
Instruction
Information
My husband has started a new hobby working on old watches. He needed some storage items for the mini-tools he will use. One holds his screwdrivers and such, and the other is a dust dome to keep the tiny parts safe and clean.
The toolholder is 2 1/2in. high and 3in. wide.
Instruction
Step1: Design tool holder using XCS
I created a 3 inch circle and populated it with (16) 7mm circles. I then added (4) 2.90mm x 5mm rectangles at the edge of the circle to hold the pillars (2 in long) which will support the 2nd tier. I then copied the circle to have a matching one for the tips of the tools to rest in. Two more 3 inch circles were created, 1 for the base and 1 as a spacer with another 2 ½ in circle which was discarded.
Step2: Assembly
After cutting, I used hot glue to assemble the holder. Solid 3in circle on bottom, the 3in circle with 2 ½ in cutout next, then 3in circle with holes. I then added the 4 pillars and glued the top circle tier on top, using the leftover 7mm circles for feet and to cover the tops of the pillars for a cleaner look. Rubbing alcohol removed the excess hot glue.
I did not add a file for the dust dome cover as it was just two 4 ½ circles cut out, with one of the circles being just a rim that a 4in circle was cut from it to hold the dome. I had a little doo-hickey I glued on top of the dome to lift it but could have used a couple of small circles glued together.
Free tip : ) It difficult to see the unmasked black acrylic in my M1 but I found using a white china marker to mark off the edges helped immensely
