2024_05_28 Newer version of these files is located here. Old files still work fine and are still posted here. 

  • works with customizer and has more options for editing
  • pre-entered data so only have to turn unwanted holes off. 
  • easier to turn holes on and off
  • No longer requires seperate gridfinity scripts

 

2023_10_26 Finished uploading pre-made templates - See list at bottom or remixes of this file. If there are common set variations that I have missed or if I made an error with a hole size, let me know

2023_10_10 fixed some minor bugs:

  • minimum spacing was larger than it had to be with dynamic spacing
  • fixed some minor math errors causing holes to break out of sides or slight label overhangs
  • dynamic spacing text should now be correctly spaced

 

This is a clean way to organize and label all of your sockets and drivers. It requires a little work as you will have to measure and input diameters and labels.  Print in 2 colors, or print in a light color and use a sharpie or similar to darken raised labels. 

Overall size of block will be as small as possible to fit all the holes. Primary parameters you will have to adjust as needed are:

  • list of hole sizes and labels
  • number of columns (2-4)
  • Dynamic spacing or not (squishes holes together in y direction as much as possible vs static spacing based on max hole size)
  • Optionally:
    • gridfinity base unit size
    • Label primary size
    • height of block
    • depth of holes
    • extra spacing between holes in x or y

This is pretty straightforward even if you are new to SCAD. “Socket auto grid and labels.scad” is the file you will need to open and modify as needed to generate STLs. It uses the base files “gridfinity-rebuilt-utility.scad” and “gridfinity-constants.scad” - make sure those are in the same folder. Enable fast-csg in SCAD for best results (quicker rendering) - see read me at top of file. 

I use 21mm for gridfinity base unit size by default.  This will be compatible with the standard 42mm base grids, but allows the socket holders to be more compact and space efficient.  

If you don't use gridfinity, these will still work for you just fine.

I have the following made sets and uploaded in standard 2 column blocks. See the remixes of this file - they are organized by type (ie. 3/8dr metric impact sockets) with all set of that type will be under that file.
