Anyone else get carried away with 3d printed tool storage?

I printed a wrench organizer for my Tekton 6-24mm set. Somewhere in the file conversion process, the 10mm label was lost Sketchup really does suck, I need to learn fusion!

It’s funny and I wish I had thought of leaving it blank. This is proof that all things 10mm want to run!

It was there!

Nice. Shoot, I don't know if I could be that organized! A little chaos stirs the creative juices, well, that's what I keep telling myself.

One of the best parts in Fusion is the ability to use variables to define a dimension. Let's say that all the wrenches are .250" thick, and you model the slot to be .255". After printing, you decide to add another .005" to the width. In Sketchup you need to modify each one. In Fusion, if you had set the dimension to slot_width, you simply update the variable value, and your drawing fixes itself.

Take a look at "Lear Fusion in 30 Days" on YT. It's by far the best tutorial I've found.

You can sort of do the do the same thing with “components” in Sketchup . I just need to get busy and take the time to learn 360.

Ahh, I needed CAM software as well as CAD, so I went with Fusion.
