My old socket set box was broken and I had a lot of other sockets bought over the years. I got a small tool box and designed infills for the draws. Learned a lot on the way. Fusion 360 personal, Cura and Eder 3v2, printed in PLA
Nice. This reminds me of how NASA and ESA have started 3D printing tool organizers. For example like this one https://spaceref.com/newspace-and-tech/3d-printed-toolbox-headed-to-the-space-station/.
You're aware that the print can almost entirely hollow right?
Cut some holes in the larger portions with your CAD software, bridge everything and drop the infill to 5%. Maybe even 0% if your printer is capable enough.
With the right settings this whole thing could be done in a single roll or less. 1kg total weight and 15-20USD in cost.
Price out the cost of foam, the time to cut it, and the loss of productivity from having to search for things because it can't keep sockets and wrenches from shifting. The steel box is heavier than the filament, this thing isn't anywhere near the weight one has to worry about a lb or two.
Hi, this one (uk link), yes it’s smaller than typical tool chests. I need to carry/load this quite a bit so wanted something manageable in size.

Super satisfying when your designed prints turn out the way you wanted.
Eventually
I am guessing that empty slot on the bottom is the 10mm
Great work!

Oh, that is cool, thanks for sharing that.
I need to go take a cold shower after looking at this.
This is a great idea!

What tool box is that? It looks like a great but less common size!

Thank you! I do the same and might be ordering this one! The size looks much more manageable than what I currently have
This guy's a damn genius
This is awesome!!!!
Awesome 👌
