Gridfinity Tray for Brown & Sharpe Adjustable Parallel Set

This organizer is intended to hold a 6 piece set of adjustable parallels manufactured by Brown & Sharpe.  I am not super happy with the inefficient use of space inherent to this model, but the biggest piece required a length of 4 squares, and packing them all into a 1x4 layout would have been jumbled and tight.  So I opted for 2x4, which gave enough space between the parallels for ease of grasping, and positioning them in an orderly fashion.  This left a bunch of unused space, where I included an additional dished-out area, for storage of something I guess.

Like my other Gridfinity models, the base is altered to accept 6x3 magnets as a press fit, with the upper surface of the magnet holes modified to make the slicer bridge across correctly for a clean result.  Due to the size of this model, I have included sacrificial “mouse ears” in the CAD to give the ends more surface area to help prevent them warping off the bed.  These will need to be removed after printing.

The unit in the pictures was printed out of Overture matte blue PLA on my Bear upgraded Mk3S+, using a 0.6mm Revo nozzle at 0.3mm layer height, 2 perimeters, and 15% infill.
