Dremel Tool Grid Inserts for CD Drawers

I wasn't satisfied with the available model for holding dremel bits and bobs in the original CD drawers files by Chris Borge. I was gifted one of those 300pc kits that  comes in an unnecesarily large plastic tote and wanted to condense my storage down, and to do that I wanted to vary the height of each piece to overlap them. From there I created spots to hold a few extra grinding stones, buffing bits, cutting discs and containers of discs or buffing compound. I didn't include a specific file for sanding drums and bits because I found the original dremel insert worked well to hold all of them when I put bamboo skewers in the spaces and then stacked the drums, this can also be done in the basic grid part of my design and is also what I use to hold the other sizes of collets.

Right now the only thing missing is a specifically sized insert for the tiny drill bits, and instead of putting calipers to every single one I included a quarter size grid insert with a dip to just throw them in for now.


When printing these, I used recycled PLA at 0.2mm layer height, two perimeters and 15% cubic infill. IMPORTANTLY: it is useful to turn brim on, inside only, width do your taste, as the grid has no base and this can prevent bits from falling through if your grid prints loose.

I found with these settings on my SV04 the grids printed in a way that was a loose and easy to remove fit for the shallow CD trays, and with very firm but workable fit for the bits in the grid. It can be sized up just a little if you find yours prints too tight but may be harder to remove from the trays.
