Description

A pair of stands to hold hex wrenches vertically, designed to fit on top of the Milwaukee Packout Tool Station. Each stand holds the most common sizes, one for imperial and the other for metric. Sizes are embedded into the top, and a pair of holes makes it easy to remove and replace the stand. The top is slightly tiled to match the tool station, with plenty of tolerance for a good fit that is easy to get in an out; I have started too many projects by dumping the hex wrenches out using the factory stand.

I printed two sets using Bambu ABS-GF, one set the red with white test, the other black with white text. I used a Bamabu X1C with the textured PEI, with a 10 mm for insurance. I thinkk they came out at a solid A-. No warping, the sizes are distinct and easy to read, and only took around 7 hours to print. I designed the stand in Fusion 360, and it turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated. 

The right stand is a mirror of the left, using a non-uniform scale and a value of negative-one for X. Mirroring the stand was harder than I imagined, and I never found a path using Mirror where I could resize the hex outline for the wrenches. I found a post with instructions on a way to do it that saved a lot of frustration. Copy the object and paste as new in a new component, making sure it is not a child of the copied component. Select the new component, and perform a non-uniform scale (Modify→Scale) with a user parameter having a value of -1 with no units. The post indicated it had to be a user parameter, as the dialog will not accept a negative value.
