3D printing a gun

Small thing that I designed recently for making with the 3D printer, to keep metal files from getting dulled by each other when kept in a drawer. Magnetic bases to stick to steel drawers so they can be easily rearranged as needed.

Good idea - files are stupid easy to damage, that's why I keep my grobet set at work in a tool roll.

My dad has a set like that, I half jokingly call it his ‘file server’.

So, I did not win this design contest outright, but I did win one of the lesser prizes.

That's actually a really good design, compared to the case most glasses come in, for putting in an inside pocket.

Thanks.

Another 3D printed shop aid:

That appears to be based on the stamp guide Brownells sells for barrels? I do like the addition of the grey spacers though.

I didn't think to look in the Brownells catalog for one, although it's likely I saw it there at some point. I did a search on Printables looking for for something like it, but didn't find anything, so I made my own. Ended up being one of the few occasions where I nailed the important dimensions on the first print. The half spacer actually took more time to get right. Getting fits and clearances of 3d printed parts right isn't an exact science. That's one of the reasons why the designers of DIY printers are so insistent that you follow their print settings exactly.

I don't remember having seen it before.
