FAST AND EASY 3D Printed Tool Holders

These simple, strong, custom tool holders can be designed FAST by a beginner using most 3D modelling programs! I designed my holders in Fusion 360, and defining my model with parameters allowed me to modify my original design to fit any tool with just a few clicks. This project demonstrates just how useful parameters can be!
This tool rack looks fantastic in my tiny apartment workshop (a huge level up from the tiny magnetic knife rack). I love how much room there is for expansion, and I'm excited to design more holders for my favorite tools!

[@aimanapril24]

the step by step modelling was honestly really appreciated . Keep up the great work!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching 😊

[@thegentlemanmaker]

Ooh! User parameters. That’s the first time I’ve heard of them. Thanks Morley, that was a good Fusion tutorial.

[@MorleyKert]

Glad it was helpful! I love using parameters, they are so powerful.

[@JuniperandSixth]

That was a great crash course on user parameters. I always dive head first into projects without using them and it comes back to bite me

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I think this project is a great example of how parameters can save a ton of time

[@otherdogdesign8666]

Great example of how powerful 3d printing can be to help reduce pain points in our daily life. I think it is that power that will eventually lead to wider adoption of the technology.

[@MorleyKert]

💯❤️

[@scorrigan87]

Thank you for your amazing videos!!! I love how you walk through and tell the keyboard quick keys "C for circle" it has been helping me remember and learn F360. I am starting to hear your voice as I try to design things. Thank you so much, keep up the amazing work. In the future I would not be surprised to see your channel being talked about next to The 3D Printing Nerd as a top 3D printing TH-cam channel. I also love how you don't just print toys, it is all about all the real life uses for 3D printing!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s so awesome to hear, thanks for watching!

[@KingALLO69]

Loki just made an awesome tutorial on how to organize tools

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

A trick to finding studs... Use a strong magnet and rub it on wall untill it sticks to a nail that is in the stud, then place your screw above or below the magnet!

[@PaulMillhouse7]

Great video! I like how you traced the outline of the tool. You could fill in the outline with another color paint to get a "shadow" of the tool. Would look cool and brighten things up with an accent color to match your tools or decor ☺️
Also I like to add small fillets to all external corners. It's quick and easy, makes the outside smooth, and helps eliminate any "elephants foot" when 3D printing.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for the tip! Those corner fillets are a good idea. I’ll have to think about a color scheme

[@PaulMillhouse7]

@@MorleyKert post a pic when you're done 👍

[@scorrigan87]

I was thinking the same thing, if anyone can design an awesome outline it is Morley!

[@SteveH-TN]

Great design

[@VG.Prints]

maan you deserve more subs, good job, im really learning to design and 3d modeling just by watching you.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! So glad you can learn from my videos

[@davebauerart]

Great demonstration of the design process in Fusion! Seeing the results of the different tools in the software was very helpful.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@shimmeringtrashpile]

Really great! I actually want to try Fusion 360 again.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Go for it! 😁

[@carolinacespedes-uribe4545]

Thanks!

[@jack0cat]

I love the making Art sign I just had to get it for my print room.
I’ll definitely be back to get more stuff.
I’ve learned a lot of things from you it’s the least I can do. Thanks I can’t wait to get back into fusion 360 and make stuff.
Tinkercad is really a great starting point in designing but I think it’s time for me to move on to better designs.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! Good luck with your design journey 😊

[@deathshaker0026]

Oh yes I am working on tool storage solutions.

[@chevydavidson9220]

A chamfer on tge top edges would help the tool enter better. Love the keep it simple stupid design standard.

[@UnprofessionalFlip]

I’m curious what metal ruler you were using. I’m in the market for a nice metal ruler.

[@MorleyKert]

It is a Nobel stainless steel flexible/non-skid ruler!

[@scotthancock8225]

Why not metric? Please its 2022

[@senseisecurityschool9337]

No it's not. 😜
