Description
I’ve seen a lot of great tool organizer designs out there, but as an aircraft mechanic who’s constantly in and out of my toolbox all day (and with a son who’s also an aircraft mechanic), proper tool shadowing is non-negotiable for us.
Instead of traditional foam, I wanted something more rugged, and clean-looking. So I designed Grid10.
Grid10 is a modular 3D-printed tool organization system. The base plates hook together using simple 3D printed plastic “dog-bone” links and accessories are secured with common #4 sheet metal screws.
Universal Screwdriver Trays for 10Grid base plate. The trays can be printed with Hex-bit inserts or without. The support has worked with every screwdriver in my collection. I will be adding additional supports for prybars and other tools with handles.
This is the foundation of the system — a universal organizer designed to fit nearly any toolbox drawer. Every plate includes grooves and pilot holes so you can securely mount a wide variety of tool holders, bins, and custom organizers.
Multiple sizes are available, along with edge and corner pieces to let you tile the drawer perfectly from edge to edge.
Magnet holes (5 mm × 2 mm) are included on the bottom if you prefer not to fill the entire drawer. (Note: holes are slightly loose due to magnet manufacturing tolerances — a drop of glue is recommended.)
Grooves are spaced 10 mm apart and designed at a 60° angle (2 mm wide at the top, 1.5 mm deep). This allows components to be fastened with a single screw while preventing rotation.
The universal screwdriver holder can be printed in three different sizes.
They may also be printed with or without .25" bit holders.
When installed they can fit tightly together or spaced so the blade of the screwdriver fits in-between.
To convert mm to inches: divide by 25.4 Example: 10 mm ÷ 25.4 ≈ 0.394"
To convert inches to mm: multiply by 25.4 Example: 0.375" × 25.4 ≈ 9.525 mm
