Alert: post print modifications may be required for this model depending on the original steel stand.

Bunnings sell these Craftright 8 T-handle hex keys which come with a simple sheet metal stand. I like being able to grab these as it is quick and easy to tell which size you are grabbing. However, putting the hex key back into the stand is not as quick and easy as it should be as you need to position the hex key to find the second hole at the bottom of the stand. 

I thought it would be quick and easy to print a model to add guide holes to the stand. It has not gone to plan but it is still an improvement so here it is… There is a good chance it will require some modification post print to get the holes to align. This is because the holes in the stand can be out of alignment (which I realise was probably why it is tricky/slow to put the hex keys back in the first place). 

I found (in prusaslicer) I needed to use the XY compensation option to make sure the holes line up.  I did this model in FreeCAD and if someone wants to modify that file, let me know.
