A Gridfinity holder for hex/Allen keys that's 6x3x8 units to fit my set of keys + their handle. It fits hex keys of sizes 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10mm, and also provides a storage compartment for either a handle that sometimes comes with these sets of keys or spares that you'd get from Ikea or whatever else you want to use it for.

Played with the design quite a lot and this is the one that has worked best for me. There are little clips which hold the keys securely in place without risk of them falling out, and it's easy to take a single key out when needed. Most other designs I've seen here couldn't do one or the other well.

Let me acknowledge that it's a huge one, and a lot of printers won't be able to print it. I printed this on a Bambu Lab P1S and there is some advice I could give. Turn off the auxiliary part cooling fan, cause that will definitely cause warping to the left side of the print. I've used infill of 15% which is sturdy enough, but don't go below that. You're storing a few hundred grams worth of steel, it won't work if you cheap out on the material. But it will take a long time to print if you go too high, I don't see the point of going above 30%. I used standard 0.2mm layer height. Don't go higher than that cause it won't print the little clips that are supposed to hold the smaller hex keys in place.

The gridfinity template this was made with was generated with gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad.
