Tool Bit Holder Insert for LR2052 Storage Box System

As a dedicated craftsperson, organizing those myriad of tool bits—each crucial for different tasks—can be quite the hassle, especially the ones used so seldomly they seem almost forgettable. To streamline your workspace and ensure every bit has its place, I've designed the Tool Bit Holder Insert specifically tailored for the LR2052 Storage Box System. This insert accommodates various tool bits with a specialized design, integrating a spring mechanism to secure each bit firmly in place.

This insert is designed to slot perfectly into any box within the LR2052 Storage System, extending the storage solution for large amounts of tool bits. It features multiple rows of hexagonally shaped holes, precision-engineered to grip securely and store tool bits with the common 6.35mm (¼ inch) shaft. The built-in spring mechanism, printed as part of the insert, applies just enough pressure to keep bits from rattling or falling out, yet allows for easy removal when needed.

Update 2024-05-18: Fixed wrong part number 1800 => 2800. The 3MF files may still display the wrong numbers in the object browser.

How to Print the Insert

To get the best results, I've outlined some print recommendations. You'll also find two PrusaSlicer project files as an example to kickstart your printing process:

ParameterDescription

Nozzle Size0.4 mm recommended (0.6 mm works)

Layer Height0.2 mm recommended

FilamentPETG recommended

Perimeters2

Infill15%

SupportsNone required

Dimensions

The dimensions follow the LR2052 part numbering scheme, and are encoded into the filename of each model file. For example:

LR2052-2823A-H064-26.3mf

The first part LR2052-2823A follows the part numbering scheme as explained in the documentation. The model variant is encoded as follows:

• H - stands for hexagonal holes. • 064 - is the width of the hole in 1/10 mm. So, 064 stands for 6.4 mm which is about ¼ inch. • 26 - is the designed length of the stored bits. When using this insert and stack one unit storage boxes, you can store bits that are up to 26mm in length.

Matching LR2052 Storage Boxes

This insert, while is can be used as a standalone print, is designed to be used in storage boxes of my LR2052 storage box system.

You find a large set of free storage boxes here on Printables - for storing bits that is all what you need.
