Hex Shank Drill Bit Case

Hex Shank Drill Bit Case designed to securely hold the drill bits (7 bits, from 2 mm to 10 mm).

The model uses 4 x 2 mm magnets. The magnets are press-fitted into the bottom of each hole. To install them, first attach a magnet to the bottom of the largest drill bit, making sure it is centered. Then carefully press the magnet into the hole. Repeat this process for each slot.

If a magnet does not press-fit securely, add a small drop of super glue to the bottom of the magnet before inserting it into the slot.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The default profile is set at 0.16mm layer height; changing this will mess the clearances and the magnets will not press-fit any more!

Two default profiles:

• maximum drill bit length of 135 mm (from tip of the drill to end of the shank; so the standard 10mm drill bit can be stored inside)
• maximum drill bit length of 120 mm (standard 8mm drill bit can be stored inside)

I have also included configurable models for both the lid and the base. Please note that, because of the knurled surface, the model may take a long time to reload after changing parameters or produce an error. You can download the model and change parameters inside Autodesk Fusion.

If you are not sure about clearances, I suggest you print only “base” model or cut “base” model (cut it vertically so only magnet fit can be tested or cut out only section for one hex shank hole).

If you find the fit is not right, please message me. I will try to upload new profiles with better clearances for your case.
