Yet another drill bit stand. This one has been optimised for my needs and includes 0.5mm steps from 1 to 10mm.

To make the print result more interesting, I do a filament colour swap near the end so that the raised text is printed in another colour and make it more visible. The filament colour swap is setup in your slicer software. Setting up the filament colour is easy in PrusaSlicer, other slicers probably, too.

Once printed, a small amount of attention will be needed to fine tune the hole diameters to ensure a good fit. Just use the bits to carefully adjust the hole size to match the level of snugness fit you prefer to work with. Keep in mind with all drill bit stands, over time the holes do loosen up a little more.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

Print instructions

My print is made in PETG 1.75mm 3DFillies black and red filaments, with 0.2mm layer height and 25% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer.
