Foredom Accessories French Cleat Holder
I had to get a collet handle for the Foredom tool for rotary burrs. The tool also has a chuck key for the chuck handle. The collet handle also has several collets, a pin and a wrench that require storage. I designed this holder for the accessories. This was a really interesting and fun design as it was a compound box consisting of a 4 compartment box with vertical dividers, a horizontal pierced section for the collets, and an open box for miscellaneous things. I used my OpenSCAD box generator to generate the outer box envelope, a compartmented box, and two open boxes and then pulled the DXF files into Rhino (my 3D CAD program) and integrated the components together.
Several cardboard prototypes were constructed to size the divider compartments and assess the best layout for the collets and tools. The laser is really a great tool for this kind of prototyping.
The final design was laser cut from 3 mm basswood plywood.
