🔧 Wera Tool Check Plus Rugged Box Inlay – High-Quality Tools in a Compact Box! 📦

🔗 Original Box on MakerWorld (Note: The box itself is not included in this file!)

I love my little Wera Tool Check Plus and was thrilled to find a proper box for it. The original inlay didn’t quite meet my needs, so I designed my own—and used it as an opportunity to learn Fusion 360. Boy, did I learn a lot! I packed in as many tools as I could for furniture building and everyday tasks around the house.

✨ Features

• Lots of high-quality tools in a small box! 🎯
• Held securely by magnets—everything stays in place. 🧲
• No more searching—all your tools in one spot! 🏠

🛠️ The Process

I started with files from Thingiverse and built on them. Later (too late!), I found a better file here: Printables.

Since I’m still a beginner, I struggled with the mesh files in Fusion 360 and ended up rebuilding everything from scratch. The only 3D model I used was for the Victorinox knife from Sketchfab, but even that wasn’t perfect—it wasn’t a solid object when converted, and getting the size right was tricky.

📋 What’s Inside

You’ll need the Wera Tool Check Box (see link above) plus:

• 15 x 2mm magnets (13–14+ pieces; you may want to stack them for better hold)
• 6 x 2mm magnets (7 pieces for extra strength where space is limited)

Tools in the box:

• KNIPEX Cobra (125 mm, chrome-plated, non-slip): "KNIPEX Cobra Hightech-Wasserpumpenzange verchromt mit rutschhemmendem Kunststoff überzogen 125 mm, 87 03 125"
• Wera Bit Holder (100 mm): "Wera 899/4/1 Universalhalter, 1/4 Zoll x 100 mm x 1/4 Zoll, Wera 05053459001"
• Wera PZ1 Bit (89 mm): "Wera 855/4 Z SB PZ1, Langbit, PZ 1 x 89 mm, 05073523001"
• Wera PZ2 Bit (89 mm): "Wera 855/4 Z SB PZ2, Langbit, PZ 2 x 89 mm, 05073524001"
• Wera Hex Key Set (up to size #5): "Wera 05133164001 950/9 Hex-Plus Multicolour 2 Winkelschlüsselsatz, metrisch, BlackLaser, 9-teilig" (Note: There’s a longer Wera set, but you need the shorter one for this inlay!)
• Victorinox Classic SD Alox (small Swiss Army knife): "Victorinox Schweizer Taschenmesser, Klein, Classic SD Alox, Multitool, Swiss Army Knife, 5 Funktionen, Klinge, Nagelfeile"

💡 Tip: If possible, buy these tools from your local hardware store—I intentionally avoided Amazon or affiliate links.

🔨 Assembly

1. Test the fit of your tools and place the magnets temporarily.
2. Empty the tray and lay it face down on the table.
3. Insert the magnets (and printed magnet holders, if applicable). (Check the image for correct sizes!)
4. Place the upper part of the box onto the inlay and press it in. (Note: For me, this fit extremely snugly—almost too well!)

💡 Possible Improvements

• Inserting magnets during printing: I tried pausing the print to add magnets, but a small part broke off. If that happens, I’d want to reuse the magnets and reprint the inlay.
• Screw system for magnets: This might be more secure, but I didn’t have the patience to implement it. The magnets hold well as-is!
• Empty bit slots: I used them for temporary upright bit storage while working—maybe you have a better idea?
• Quality over quantity: Cheap tools often break or disappear quickly. This setup is expensive—don’t lose it!
• Ultimate version: I wanted to fit my SwissTool, but it was too thick. A slightly larger box could also hold:
  • Thicker hex keys
  • A small flashlight
  • A mini electric screwdriver (e.g., Bosch Go 3) 

🙌 Thanks & Feedback

Thanks to everyone who shared similar projects before me! I’m not looking to make money—this Fusion file is from a rookie, and it was a learning experience. 😊 Feel free to improve it and show me how I can do better, especially with meshes—I struggled with those! (Fusion F3d file has been uploaded and can be downloaded above)

Enjoy building, and happy making! 🚀
