TrackTwist Socket Organizer

After investing considerable time researching various socket organizers on the market, I found myself consistently disappointed with their quality and the often high costs associated. This realization led me to design theTrackTwist Socket Organizer. Combining functionality with open-source principles, this organizer was conceived out of a pressing need for an improved storage solution.

Features:

Twist Lock Mechanism: The innovative twist-lock design ensures that sockets remain securely in place, even when dropped. 

Modular Setup: Compartments can be tailored and rearranged to align with your specific socket collection and preferences. 

Clear Size Markings: Each holder spotlights multiple size indicators, guaranteeing visibility from every angle. Say goodbye to the frustrating search for the right socket size. 

Open-Source Design: Adaptability takes center stage. This organizer invites users to modify and adjust based on their specific needs and feedback. 

Extensible: With the ability to create mounts, attachments, and end brackets, you can expand the organizer's capabilities as you see fit. 

Durable Materials: Crafted with resilience in mind, it's primed to accommodate an assortment of socket weights and sizes without wavering. 

Compact: Prioritizes efficient storage while minimizing spatial footprint.

TrackTwist Socket Organizer rectifies common issues inherent to existing organizers, showcasing a more malleable and user-oriented approach to socket storage. It's the go-to for those scouting a practical and adaptable tool storage mechanism.

Under construction — stay tuned for more sizes, attachments, and options in the pipeline!

 

Create your own custom washers using Prusa Slicer

I've uploaded a 60 washer of varying width. Don't see the text you want or need something custom engraved for a  specialty socket or tool? You can use Prusa Slicer to engrave your own text! Font is Calibri Bold. Follow the instructions here: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/text-tool_399460

If you don't have a printer profile setup in prusa slicer no worries! Just add your text and save it as an STL and import into your regular slicer.

Notes:

 

For optimal strength and durability, follow these printing guidelines:

Printing Position and Supports ------------------------------

  • Print rails vertically on end. Will print faster flat on bed with support but will be a pain to pull supports and could warp. Recommend to add 3mm supports only to bed when printing on end. No supports needed when printing on end vertically.
  • Print socket holders horizontally for ultimate strength.
  • Use 5mm supports.
  • Position the socket holder with the flat side of the nut facing downward. Ensure ball detents are perpendicular to the bed to achieve the best quality and strength.

*Ensure washers are printed face down for the best print quality.

  • Make sure there is proper support for the socket holder to prevent any deformation or warping during the printing process.

Infill Recommendations

  • For the socket holder, use 50% infill. For other components, adjust the infill based on your preference.
  • When using PLA for the socket holder, a 50% infill has proven stronger than 100%.

Filament Recommendations

1.Polycarbonate: This is the strongest filament tested to date, but it might be challenging for many to print with. 2.PETG: This is the second-best filament choice for socket holders and t-nuts. 3.PLA: Suitable for printing the rail, providing both ease and quality.
