Keep those bits safe.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, I realised I had lost the bit for my Leatherman Surge. It’s annoying, but I have ordered some replacements. I’ll be getting a total of four double-ended bits, or eight drivers in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The replacement bits do not come with any carry case, so I decided to design and print one. I have a third-party extension bar, so I thought I would allow room in the holder for quarter-inch hex bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created the design in Fusion 360 and based it on one I found online<\/a>. There was a remix for two and three-layer holders, so I wasn’t concerned about the extra thickness of the hex bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final model was output as a 3MF model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did have a couple of failed prints due to bed adhesion. I did the final print with a skirt that touched up against the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The print was with eSun PLA with a 0.2mm layer haight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final print did have an adhesion issue and lifted at the ‘handle’ end of the model. This could be for various reasons, but as the print turned out functional, I didn’t reprint it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
