Youtube daily bit Mar 25 2018

Today we create a 3dprinted custom bit holder inspired by Jamie from Homemade modern.

A few days ago Jamie published a video on a 3dprinted custom accessory for a Ryobi drill.

This video inspired a quick print for one of my cheap drills.

I start by measuring the side of my battery pack where I would like to position the bit

holder.

In Fusion 360 I create a rectangle with the dimensions of these measurements and create

a round shape at one side.

This shape can then be extruded to a height of 8 mm.

For the bits I create a new sketch in the side view and a draw a polygon.

I create a pattern of this polygon so that 6 shapes are spread across the length of the

holder.

After leaving the sketch I extrude the polygons and thereby cut a shape corresponding to the

size of a bit from the main body; leaving some material at the bottom.

On the bottom of the bit holders I create a new sketch, draw a circle and create a rectangular

pattern corresponding to the one I created earlier.

These circles are cut out 3 mm deep for some magnets.

With the same extrusion I cut material from above the magnet so that I can put it in place.

After creating a few fillets the 3d shape is done.

I send it to my printer and after less than 30 minutes I can remove the print from the

build plate.

Gluing the magnets turned out to be the most difficult part of this project.

Whenever I tried to glue one of the magnets in it snapped to one of the magnets I already

glued in one of the other holes.

With a pair of pliers and a bit of patience I could move them in position and press them

in the hole.

The holder gets glued to the side of my drill with a bead of hot glue.

This print will be a great efficiency improvement.

It is easy to remove the bits and put them back.

And even with a lot of shaking and bumping the bits did not get loose.

I will put a link in the description to the free model on thingiverse and a written article

with all the dimensions.
