Caliper Holder and MakerBot Filament Spool Holder
Caliper Holder by LightingPhil
With a 3D printer at your disposal you can design everything from a complex machine to a replacement knob for your stove. Sometimes, elegantly simple designs that make your life easier are the killer models. And bonus meta-points when you design and print 3D printed parts … that make it easier to print 3D printed parts. Here are two functional designs that have arrived up on Thingiverse since Friday that I am certain to print this week — and put into immediate use!
MakerBot Filament Spool Holder by charlespax
MakerBot Industries now sells filament on spools! Here is a spool holder you can mount on you Thing-O-Matic or Cupcake CNC in place of any rod cover.
You should also print the spool housing to keep you filament nice and tidy. thingiverse.com/thing:8762

Hold a caliper and 3 hex keys neatly on the front of the makerbot. Now I can find them!
Everyone needs a caliper. Much easier to read a digital display than guess fractions of a mm. The hex keys come with the makerbot. Seemed a good holder to put them all together in one place.
In addition to the above, I have a small holder for a craft knife and a tourch. Might draw them again, but didn't keep the STL's.
This was my first go at using Solid Works. Far easier than expected! :)
