.5, 1, 2, 3, 5mm Shims w/ Caddy/ Holder/ Organizer

Nobody like sloppy shims… So I made this Shim Set with a convenient organizer. This way you can take your shims with you to the task, then store them back away in an organized fashion just like a tool. This also gives you a visual on when you need to print more as you get low. 

Design Features:

• Shim sizes are 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm
  • The 0.5mm shim is printed with .16mm layer height, so the final thickness comes out really close to an actual 0.5mm
  • All other shims are printed with the standard .2mm layer height so they all come out very close as well
• Retention slots on edges of shims so they do not fall out of the caddy
• Slot down the middle to straddle a screw or nail (also gets slightly narrower at the beginning to prevent falling off the screw or nail)
• Notches on the end of the shims indicate the shim thickness (0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm)
• Caddy mount option if you would prefer to have it mounted to a wall as I have
• Designed-in model supports to prevent the need for auto-generated supports (saves filament, in yellow in the model photo)
