I needed a tool caddy to set next to my 3D printer to corral all the tools I was using to finish my prints and work on my design. I realized that my ideal tool caddy would take over 16 hours to print in one piece, so I went with a modular approach instead.

Print one base and then select the other holders to fit your needs.

The print settings are not critical - I printed my in a fairly low resolution, which looks worse in the photo than it does in person. I used 10% infill, although that can be slightly higher or lower and it won't matter too much.

Originally, my intent was for the compartments to be swappable on the base, but I wasn't satisfied with the fit of the connectors. I made them a bit tighter and as a result swapping out the parts after they've been seated doesn't usually work. This is especially true with the PLA filament that I use - you may have other results with different filament types.

I designed this to be able to print on the small bed of my Monoprice
