A shelf designed to hold six pairs of tweezers that have slotted-shaped ends.
Gravity keeps them in place and they gently rest against the wall to keep the sharp ends away from your hands while reaching.
The slot sizes and spacings are equal so you can choose how you'd like to line up your tweezers! Chamfers at the openings make replacing the tweezers easy.
I personally use the Harbor Freight 6-piece Tweezer set 93598 as shown in the photos. I am NOT affiliated with Harbor Freight or get anything if you choose to use the same ones.
The model is set up for standard 1/8" pegboard with 1" spacing.
Two options are shared – One with a full two-space backing that I think balances the shelf height with the tweezer height and offers space for stickers! A second option has half the height to save some print time/filament.
I thoroughly tested several prototypes on my 1/8" pegboard to great success.
The hooks fit snug while the pegs rest just inside the pegboard holes.
The standoffs on the rear prevent the shelf from rocking in place while allowing room to install the top pegs, making it a very solid install!
Note that the top hooks need to be inserted first (shelf will look like it is “laying flat”) and it will swing downwards into place.
If the hooks seem hung-up, de-burr the bottom portion of the rear hook as outlined in the photo.
When removing, if your pegboard piece is large it may flex as you pull. I suggest a gentle downward force on the top edge of the model while swinging away to free the hooks.
Please note if you slice and orient this yourself – I highly recommend either:
Thank you for looking!
