Ender 3 Tool Holder
Description
First off, please forgive the butchery that is this model. Im less than a week into 3d printing and even newer to Tinkercad. So I wanted easy access to the tools I used the most. Specifically the spatula and some tweezers. Then I decided to add the glue stick. Then the side cutters just in case. But i didnt want all the allen keys or combo wrenches piled in because I have a place for the tools for working on the machine itself. So i got to jamming shapes together in tinkercad to try to make something work. My first iteration didnt quite work because it turns out i bought GIANT glue sticks lol (i know, i know... measure twice, slice once) so I made some changes and got ready to print again. But as i was looking at the machine and holding tools in place, i didnt want this giant glue stick standing so tall above everything else, I wanted easiest access to the spatula... so i had to make the holder hang. I seperated it into 2 parts just to make it easier to print. Its not pretty, but it works! Glue sticks i have are just under 30mm in diameter, so most should fit. I also just realized I missed a prime opportunity to make the sleeve that holds the glue stick look like a warp pipe from Super Mario Bros had I just colored it green in tinkercad... FAIL lol Update - Now that Ive printed it, I realized there are ways to make the "cylinder" in tinkercad actual cylinders which would have helped with assembly and aesthetics. Also, I would have made the tolerance between the 2 pieces bigger. It went to gather with some effort, but could have been easier. Overall, Im pleased with how it turned out.
