A stand for hex shanked drill bits

This is a remix of hex bit holder by Fitzterra (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1686330). However, this remix evolved until it is now almost completely, but not entirely, unlike the original, and has the following features:

  • Stepped spiral layout of bits
  • Mostly parameterised
  • A central hole with a larger clearance for a stepped drill
  • Cutouts showing bit size are an artefact of the spiral drawing technique, and go all the way down to the bottom of the bit.
  • Hex or round holes
  • Extended base for added stability
  • Just for fun, the base and centre platform are hexagonal

To do (but probably won't ever get done. Remix it!)):

  • Make the outer surface a smooth curve, (and a circular base to match)
  • Make the top surface smooth instead of a staircase
  • Allow users to optionally add outer sides to the holes
  • Parameterize base size
  • Fillet corners
