The file 'Socket Rail System 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.9 MB.
April Versions: I changed to a 1/8" by 1" aluminum as it was more readily available locally.
End caps are smaller for the aluminum as I cleaned up the edges with a belt sander to get rid of the cut marks. They are designed to be a very tight fit. They only protect the sides of workboxes from the end of the aluminum bar, and can be omitted if desired.
Layer Height: 0.4mm
Shell: 2mm
Infill: 50% (Overkill but feels better with a socket on it that the 20% I tried)
Supports: None Needed.
Build Plate Adhesion: Brim 2mm (Only to prime nozzle on my printer)
Previous Summary:
Preliminary parts for a custom socket organizer I am working on. My printer will hopefully be here next week and I will be able to test and update the design as needed then. Until then try it out and let me know how it works for your sockets. The system revolves around 1/4"x1" aluminum bar stock to span full length of a tool chest drawer. The idea is to custom sort assorted sockets in any span of the stock, placing support bars to organize sections, and cap the ends of the stock with the end caps.
