Summary

Now I won't lose any more Leatherman bits!

NOTE: to print this at the perfect size, use the following scale:

x 0.96, y 0.7 (to make it slightly shorter and a bit narrower). The z scale is perfect, however going up to z 1.1 should still work fine.

I have a Leatherman Skeletool and a 36-bit set of Leatherman slim hex bits. The bit set is useful but some bits only fit loosely and are prone to being knocked out of the caddies.

Because I don't carry a belt pouch, I decided to create this hard case for the two caddies full of bits. The caddies are offset so one or both can be lifted to get bits out.

I used hot nails to hold the caddies in so they lift up when I need them, but when I don't need them the plastic enclosure prevents them from falling out.

This is version 5 of my design. I printed three of the five versions during development (in black you can see version 3, which had walls so thin they separated from the floor; version 5 [in white] is very rugged). I am considering adding a space for a simple locking mechanism so the caddies won't flip up without permission. I don't need it, but you might. An easy way would be to put a third hot nail in, just in front of the front bit on the top caddy.

v1 was the wrong size

v2 was wonderful but the walls liked to separate no matter how it was printed

v3 had a design error in a new feature I was adding

v4 had upgraded walls

v5 had two rectangular primitives added to retain the hot nails more reliably
