I bought a set of 10 needle files, and also got a needle rasp, and wanted to hold them all up. They were narrower and I use them less than my screwdrivers, so I took inspiration from/modified my other screwdriver stand: 

and crammed them all in. Worked out pretty good.

Design Features

  • Canted base with indexing slots, and a large 45 degree backstop to help guide into the base locators when placing them down, ran tests with several prototypes to see how fast the family members can grab and place them, and tried to optimize for "grabability"

  • Tapered support for the "body" to accommodate tapered handles, but also ends up being a very forgiving design

  • Fits in a 1 Gridfinity depth space pretty well (long needle file tips overhang about a half a gridfinity bin, a  substantial amount at the top) while still being very stable

  • Has 6x2 magnet holes to aid with it not falling over (although, this hasn't been a problem in the testing at all, the center-of-mass of the whole thing is already pretty low).
