'David' - SKÅDIS-compatible modular pegboard tool shelf

Summary

This is the main carrying modules for "David", a SKÅDIS-compatible modular pegboard tool shelf system.

The main use for this system is to carry screwdrivers, knifes, bits and other tools.

Example usage:

General Dimensions

With all of the uploads related to the David system, you will find the general dimensions of the box modules used, so you can make your own! Fusion360 is free for personal use, so your only loss is time and a beer or two :-).

125 degree version shelf

The 125 degree version is used best for small tools storage like bits and bolts or other non-protruding objects. I always recommend the holed out version because as long as the shelf is used with storage modules, you basically waste filament. In my own testing, there is no real difference in stability.

Please note, that if you are using the holed out version, anything protruding using any of the standard modules will hit the pegboard if it is too long. Therefor, please adapt your usage accordingly.

Below, an example of measurements to make sure your tools fit properly. Please not that the “top” im measuring from is a bit below the actual top where your tool or driver handle will sit.

110 degree version shelf

The 110 degree version is probably the most usable version. It's well adversed for tool storage like bits and bolts or other non-protruding objects, but can also be used for usage with large amounts of smaller screwdrivers (see example images). I always recommend the holed out version because as long as the shelf is used with storage modules, you basically waste filament. In my own testing, there is no real difference in stability.

90 degree version shelf

The 90 degree version is well adversed for tool storage for portruding objects with thinner but longer tool lengths, like speciality screwdrivers and/or other pokers. It as as the other shelves be used with large amounts of smaller screwdrivers (see example images) or smaller amounts of large drivers. I always recommend the holed out version because as long as the shelf is used with storage modules, you basically waste filament. In my own testing, there is no real difference in stability.

Available trays

You can make the trays yourselfs and for whatever purpose, but these are the ones im using and that is available here.

Screwdriver host tray - 4/6 and 8 mm

• Contains 30 8mm diameter holes to be used with or without mounting pegs, and with the current hole map:

• Contains 16 8mm diameter holes to be used with or without mounting pegs, and with the current hole map:

• Perfect for 4, 6 or 8 mm screwdrivers and for stable top side storage.

Screwdriver host tray - 4/6 and 8 mm incl. knife+knife blades

• Contains 29 8mm diameter holes to be used with or without mounting pegs, and with the current hole map:

• Perfect for 4, 6 or 8 mm screwdrivers and for stable top side storage, including knifes and knife blades.

Bit storage host tray - 99 bit sockets including storage space

• Used to store a myriad of bits, also including a small storage space for “im not done yet” bits.

Simple three part/one part storage host tray

• Simple three part storage boxes
• Observe, these boxes has 24mm height to contain more fun stuff.

Host tray PEGS - 4 and 6 mm stabilization pegs for drivers

• Used for all trays with 8mm portrutions
• Main use is to stabilize drivers

Print Configuration

Shelves and host trays

• The shelves and host trays should be printed flat side down for all versions.
• These shelves and host trays are simple creatures and does not need any particular print pattern. I print mine monotonic or rectilinear.
• Supports are not needed, not even for the 125° version.
• Brim is not needed. Although, a glue stick helps with minimizing poo-poo:ed prints and loss of filament.
• The existing modules for the David shelves and host trays are made with such leeway as to enable you to print the shelves with any thickness. Although, for my own prints a 0.4 nozzle with <0.3mm layer height makes for the best results in terms of time vs quality (in images, .4 nozzle using .28 layer height, 3 perimeters and basically whatever standard Prusa slicer is using for the CR-6 SE).
• Generic PLA should suffice and any special filament is not needed, unless you have a cave troll in your maker space.
• The shelves should be rigid and stable enough with 15% infill.

Host tray pegs

• The pegs should be printed upside down (wide side down)
• Print pattern is not relevant
• Supports are not needed
• Brim is not needed but recommended. Small, tall objects can be hard to print.
• Host tray pegs made with such leeway as to enable you to print the pegs with any thickness. Although, for my own prints a 0.4 nozzle with <0.3mm layer height makes for the best results in terms of time vs quality (in images, .4 nozzle using .28 layer height, 3 perimeters and basically whatever standard Prusa slicer is using for the CR-6 SE).
• Depending on the thickness, you might need a light hammer to tap them in.

Mounting

On my first models a made a design of my own, but ever since this upload all "David" carrying shelves is made to be used with the fantastic “Skadis T-Nut” system originally made by @6d6178:
