Was getting tired of searching around my toolbox for my electric screwdriver and its bits so I figured it was time to design a nice simple stand with space for my most used bits. I decided to give it a tray just to help with not losing screws. The project was modelled up in blender in an hour or so using a mix of sub-d and boolean workflow. The stand printed out nice on my old dependable ender-3 in about 6 hours.
So far it’s met my goals. I have some changes I’d like to do if I ever reprint:
- add compartments or seperators to the tray so I can use them as “steps” to aid in re-assembly of projects.
- add more space between the bits and the driver holder in the center. My finger can’t get between there and it makes it hard to pull out the bits.
- make a base with a bearing so the whole thing spins.

What brand of driver?
Also get one of these, flip the driver over, and integrate the cable into the base.

Some amazon no name one. It’s a 15.5mm diameter one.
Thats a brilling idea and I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it.

It’d be a good idea to post it to one of the websites that host 3d printing models (thingiverse, printables and so on) with a license so more people will have access to it. Good model and now I want one of these just because :)

Might’ve been this one? I just searched for “Precise electric screwdriver” and found one that closely matches your picture.
