Tap and Die tray
Description
This is a pretty straight-forward Tap and Die tool tray with room for 18 matched tap/die pairs. It has six large bays and twelve small bays, and an indented strip to allow for a standard labelmaker label. The large tap trays are 85mm x 14mm, and the small ones are 72.5mm x 11mm. The die-trays are 27mm x 10mm each. The label strip is indented 1mm, and is 13mm wide, to allow for a standard Brother-brand 12mm label. The die trays fit a standard 1" diameter die perfectly, and also do a good job of holding a 13/16 die. The largest taps you see in this are 1/2NC20 and M12x1.75 - both are 84mm long. The whole tray is 270mm wide x 148mm deep x 14mm thick - There is a solid 2mm of "bottom" underneath even the deepest trays. This is just a smidge too wide to fit two side-by-side in a standard 23" tool chest drawer. Sorry - it needed to be that way to fit all the tools I had. I used pretty standard print settings - The pictured trays were printed at 0.2mm, though I don't see any reason you couldn't go up to 0.3 or 0.4 -- The walls between the die-trays might suffer a bit, I suppose... I didn't do anything special with the infill - 25% grid. This took a LONG time to print, but I wanted it to be a fairly sturdy and clean... This is my first attempt at using CAD / designing my own item to print. Please be kind with feedback :)
