A real-world application
This is an image of these tool holders in action on an actual tech station in our applications engineering department at DigiKey.
Things I learned along the way.
Spacing
When I had originally printed these my intent was to mount them directly onto the pegboard interface built into our workbenches.
I found that these tool holders are based on metric measurements, so they cannot create a continuous assembly on 1" spaced pegboard holes. Because of this, I designed the spacer in the image below.
Size
Seven tool holders ended up being too long to be mounted this way. I did think up a solution for this. I designed an adapter to be mounted on the back side of the tool holder that would allow it to be mounted to 30mm Din Rail.
The Tools
I would like to thank Wiha for providing the tools shown in the image below.
Please visit our technical forum to find the download links to both official and custom files. If you decide to build a setup for yourself, please share it with our community. If you see a Wiha tool or tool set that you feel would benefit from a tool holder, add a suggestion and we will look into it!
