Yet another hex bit holder – lightweight and fast printing in spiral/vase mode – only 7g (tray) + 5g (enclosure)

To collect several hex bits, which amassed over time, I created my own little bit box. I designed it for printing in vase mode (Cura: Spiral Outer Contour), which does not only save filament, but also allows to use transparent filament – to at least see vaguely what’s inside.

It has a little handle to pull-out the tray and the enclosure has a very tiny sill at the top of the opening to hold the tray inside (not very strong though). And it is available in two sizes: for 24 bits (4×6) and an XL version for 50 (5×10) hex bits.

The model is optimized for 0.5mm line_width (125% for standard 0.4mm nozzle).

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
