Drill Bit Storage Box

The box of my drill bits fell and broke, so I designed a new one.

The box is based on a popular print-in-place model (https://makerworld.com/en/models/1832500-parametric-storage-box#profileId-2533201) but has added holders for 15 drill bits. The sizes are based on the drill sizes that I had at hand. Of the smaller sizes the are 2 slots, as these tend to break easily. Each drill bit is held firmly in place.

As the height of the box is determined by the longest drill bit (134 mm in my case), there is always a lot of ‘wasted space’ at the smaller bits. To make use of this space, I added an extra storage compartment in the lid. It can be used to store spare drill bits or other small items. I have a bunch of spare small drill bits (1-3 mm) that I store in here.

Specifications

• The box is 160 x 85 x 40 mm (w x d x h) when closed. 
• It holds a total of 15 drill bits: 1.5 (2x), 2 (2x), 2.5 (2x), 3 (2x), 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm.
• The bottom halve of the box can house a 10 mm bit of max 145 mm in length (the one in the pictures is 134 mm).
• The lid of the box dan house a drill bit of max 84 mm in length (the 3.5mm in the pictures is 69 mm).
• The storage compartment is 74.9 x 63 mm and is 11.9 mm deep.

Print instructions

• I've tested both PLA and PETG-HF (both Bambu Lab) and added a print profile for both. 
• There is a print profile for a 2-color box (drill image on lid and numbers in black, box in grey) and a single color version.
• For A1 Mini there is only the single color variant as there is no room for the prime tower on the plate 

No special settings are required for both PLA and PETG-HF. I used standard Bambu Studio settings without any changes. Only the numbers have been colored in Bambu Studio in the 2-color variant.
