Tool Rack - Creality Ender 3 or 5

Last crawled date: 5 years, 4 months ago
This is a fairly straightforward tool rack designed to mount on the vertical rail of any printer that uses 2040 extruded rails. To keep things simple I've used a vertical guide rail for one side and a 3mm T-Nut for the other side (using an 8mm M3 bolt). The bracket uses a wedge to grip and hold the rack in place, allowing it to be quickly removed when working on the printer or when a large number of the tools are needed elsewhere.
There are a bunch of these designs floating around, but I wanted one that precisely matched my tool list, and that mounted in a more convenient way. Designs that clip onto the rail had proven difficult to mount (either too rigid to clip, or not grippy enough to stay in place once items were loaded on). Right now it's used to hold callipers, clippers, hex keys, tweezers and a couple of files. Further down the track I'll probably update it as my tools change.
Modifying this one isn't particularly difficult so if you need a minor alteration just post a comment and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks go to TrigoKlei for their excellent design that got me thinking in the first place (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3655629), DaVinci2000 for the T-Nut design I used to hold it in place (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607), and Kaylee for assistance in the actual design and testing.
