Carry That Skadis!

I want you to be able to organize your tools using the Skadis pegboard system and keep them within arms reach. This portable panel lets you set up an organized swatch of tools and materials and carry them over to wherever you're working.

Design Features

Works on Even or Odd Rows

I'm very proud of how the handle and feet can be centered on the Skadis panel regardless of how many rows of slots you are working with. Both the feet and the handle have allowances for a 3-wide or 2-wide configuration. The number of Columns needs to be odd though.

Parametric

This model is build on top of my Parametric Skadis Board Generator, meaning you can print the Skadis board itself and customize the size within the Fusion 360 file! Head over to the generator to learn how to manipulate those parameters!

Limitations

Hey, this may not work for all Skadis attachments (especially the ones that don't attach well), and may be a pretty bad way to carry heavy things. Be careful, and don't blame me if dropping it throws your tools and fasteners all over the floor. This is probably a bad idea for transporting things long distances or through BT territory.

How to Make

Printable Parts

I designed these parts to be easily printable. However, the handle requires supports.

You'll want to print:

• 1x Handle
• 2x Feet
• 4x Fastening Clip
• 1x Skadis Board

Non-Printable Parts

The only parts you can't print are four M3x14 (#TODO) bolts. You'll need to purchase or scavenge four of these (with matching nuts) to attach the handle/feet to the pegboard.

Future Additions and Features

Wall Hanger

I know it seems a bit silly to design a system that brings this pegboard panel back onto the wall, but desk and shelf space is sacred. So, I'd like to add a wall-hook so you can “set this down” even without shelf space and still have every tool displayed nicely.

All-In-One Print

Since I'm printing the board, handle, and feet anyway, I'd like to make a version where they're all made into one piece. I don't think it's as versatile of a design, but it's still in my head anyway.

Thoughts

One of the most wonderful things about small-scale manufacturing is that it allows people to make beautiful objects that are not limited to the traditional engineering design space. I am not limited as much by the material used or the time it takes for me to design. Even on objects that may be taken for granted, the community can discover the best possible form and bring beauty to them through meticulous attention.

I really enjoy doing well organized CAD, and this has been a very fun undertaking. I’d love to see you post your makes and show me how you organize your things with this concept. If this has gotten you considering your pegboard more carefully like it did for me, consider ❤ liking the design,  leaving me a tip using the button at the top-right and subscribing to my designs here.
