I needed a compact holder for both bits and sockets to fit in my troubleshooting bag, so came up with this. It's a 60mm diameter holder for four sockets and 15 bits and fits very nicely inside one of wstein's customizable containers (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:612709).
Included is the bit holder, a test small test block (print this first to check tolerances on your bits and sockets) and the version of wstein's container I used in the photos. All Sketchup files are included too, feel free to modify it to change tolerances and clearances.
Please note that my printer has very good tolerances so the ID of the container is 60mm and matches the OD of the holder. This gives me a very snug fit but may cause problems for some people. Either edit the holder to reduce the OD or create a new container with slightly more clearance. With more clearance and more height, you can also create stacking trays in a single container.
