Handy Rotating Tool Stand
I am in the process printing one of these, I was inspired after watching "Repair Shop" and saw something similar on Steve Fletcher's bench.
I should help stop my workbench from ending up covered in tools when I am building something.

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
Update;
I have found a problem with the stl file for the 15mm plug screw, it will not screw into the base bottom if printed as downloaded.
A comment on Tingiverse suggest that it be printed 3-4% smaller than the posted file, I scaled mine in Cura to 95% and that worked.

Update2;
When you print this do not use supports otherwise the screw/nut holes will fill with plastic that is a pain to get out.
Don't ask how I found that out

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
It looks good Graeme.
My problem is that I know I would still just put things down on the bench in a big mess, rather thn trying to find the right hole to drop it in! I can't help it, I'm just an untidy *&%~#@!

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
I'm hearing you Phil I have a big tool box with shaped foam insets for small tools but they still end up on the bench. Must be something to with the effort to put it back or the "I'LL need that in a second so why put it away" syndrome.

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
It looks nice Graeme, but what are you supposed to do with it?
Miles-- Trains are fun. With the exception of track power. Argh!
Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
It looks like the smallest ring of holes on the top would be perfect for a set of small paintbrushes

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
I realised that hence the reply.
I could have replied the title might be a give away which I was tempted to do.

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
If you inputted the "Top Level" and the "Upper Guide" into Tinkercad you could resize the holes and fill in gaps to make a paint brush stand.
You could even do it to the Lower Level as well.
Custom make it to fit anything by remixing it.

Re: Handy Rotating Tool Stand
I've got to admit that even though I remix just about every model I can, it didn't occur to me to make it fit my tools specifically. Hmmm. If anybody sees me running down to the workshop with a calipers, I might be in there a while
