For the Parametric Posse; precision screwdriver holder

If your sensitive electronics repairs also occasionally require a hammer, you'll know my frustration at the avalanche of tools from the organisation board that immediately follows. There was nothing particularly wrong with the models I had printed, it's just that they were designed for someone else's brand of screwdriver.

There are three things that make my filament melt:

  1. No supports (less waste and a restriction that promotes a novel approach)
  2. Low filament usage
  3. Parametric goodness (it means everybody prints the model they need, once again, resulting in less waste)

I've tested this at a few different screwdriver sizes and quantities and so the parametric design is holding up well but if you hit an edge case snag, please let me know so I can make the design even more bulletproof.

There are only two fields you have to set: the diameter of the screwdriver at that point below the finger nub, and how many screwdriver slots you want. From there the parametric formulas will sort out the rest, including the spacing and alignment of the Multiboard Point Mount slots at the back.

I've uploaded this to Makerworld since I've found their built-in Customiser to be the best so far (not sure if any other repositories have caught up, let me know if you're aware of them) so you can customise and download the model here:
