The collection of hex bit holders are available in 37 different sizes ranging from 1x1 up to 4x12 holes for hex bits. The hex bit holder is designed for good visibility and access and easy hex bit removal and insertion, so the holder is tilted 20 degrees and the holes are round and slightly oversized. The hex bit holder is mounted on the IKEA Skådis board by using T-nuts.  

If you are looking for a holder for Allen and Torx L-keys , take a look at this one: Holder for Allen and Torx L-keys.

Installation 

The hex bits holder is mounted on the Skadis board using a T-nut that fits M3 screws. T-nuts provide a strong and secure hold and are easy to install and remove by using a screwdriver. There are two different versions of the hex bit holder, one with countersunk holes and the other with flat holes, which one to use depends on the type of screw you are using. The screws that will fit should be about 15 mm in length.

Place the screw in the T-nut through the holes in the hex bits holder and screw it in until the T-nut is about 2-3 mm from the back of the hex bits holder, insert the T-nuts vertically through the Skadis holes, then as you tighten the screw the T-nut will turn and lock the hex bits holder to the board.

You can find and download the matching T-nut here: Skadis T-nut for M3 screw.

 

Printing and print settings

The best way to print the hex bit holders is flat on the bottom side. In the model files the parts are oriented in the best direction for printing. Use PLA for printing with a layer height of 0.2mm or less and a nozzle width of 0.4mm or less. A wall thickness of at least 3 lines and an infill of 25%. A support structure for the screw hole are recommended for the printing.
