Description

Intro

I was tired of looking for a generic modular setup for Socket trays that you could swap sizes and completely customize on the fly when adding a new socket (or losing one). So I made this simple universal setup to be able to insert any size label into the inserts. This setup was not build to maximize space, but instead to maximize visibility and simplicity by being able to reorganize at any point in time without the need to reprint everything. Enjoy rate and let me know if there are any issues not noted below. Also if you find you need a specific Size I don't have that I should add, let me know. Lastly let me know if there are any improvements you would like to see made.

 

Features

  • These holders will fit any socket set since you measure your own sockets and print the appropriate tray pieces
  • The tray system is based on the Gridfinity standard and will fit all standard Gridfinity bases
  • on the bottom of the trays, I included the standard 6x2mm magnet inserts. This helps keep the tray from coming out of their spot in the grid if you slam your tool drawers like I do
  • The optional label system designed was made to be very simple. Doesn't require magnets, Stays secure even when slamming the tool drawers.
  • NO Guess work needed, when sizing out you entire socket collection
  • Got extra random sockets? Print one off socket trays for each one to store in the corner of your drawer

Instructions

  1. download and open the profile
     
  2. Take note of the current socket height. If this height is taller than or equal to 68mm…..GREAT! I designed a universal set for deeper sockets up to 100mm in length yet. If you have a set that is more than 100mm in length. leave me a comment or a message of what size your socket is and I'll start working on an addition to the sets.
     
  3. measure your Socket diameter (do not use the socket size printed on the socket as the size you use to select a tray) This set is 12-33mm diameter by up to 68mm in length for this set

     
  4. round the diameter up to the nearest whole number (ex. like the above, anything between 17.01-18.00mm goes to 18mm)
     
  5. Add a new empty plate and select it

     
  6. Right click on the model for the needed size (in this ex. its 18mm) and hit clone, it should clone to the selected empty plate
  7. Repeat for all socket sizes needed and then print.

     
  8. go to my profile to find the Label inserts, premade with many common sizes. linked below. Or just ignore the label part of this if you don't want to do it. (the labels make it look really nice and easy to read everything and return it to the right spot in an instant.) 
  9. For your sockets that are 68mm or more in length, go to this model
    For your standard short sockets, go to this model
  10. Download and print some gridfinity base plates (use the skeletonized low profile ones to maximize vertical space if you have a short drawer) I may upload my custom ones I made to be low profile plus still have the magnet inserts, if some requests come in for it.

Issues

If a description is still below here, then I haven't fixed it yet. If you find any new issues, let me know in a comment or a message an I'll try and resolve it as soon as possible.

Where do I get the grid that goes under these socket trays?

yes, it's a standard gridfinity grid. you can also find them here on makerworld. if your drawer is looking to be too tight heightwise you can also eliminate a few mm by finding a minimal height version of the grids that cuts off the bottom 4mm or so. but if you have sockets that are pushing the limit I would just use the horizontal trays instead. I will have my deep 100mm sockets uploaded soon as well. and I am considering combing this whole thing into one model upload and just have the different items as profiles
