1/4in Metric Socket Rail

To avoid hunting for the right size socket in my socket box, I decided to organise my sockets in an ordered way. This 3D print provides a tray that my sockets sit in. The sockets are easy to get out and to replace. Each socket hole has an adjacent socket size label making size selection even easier.

To make the print result more interesting, I do a filament colour swap near the end so that the raised text is printed in another colour and make it more visible. The filament colour swap is setup in your slicer software. Setting up the filament colour is easy in PrusaSlicer, other slicers probably, too.

Due to the overall length of the socket tray, which is bigger than my printer print area, I've split it into two parts that tightly clip together.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

Print instructions

My print is made in PETG 1.75mm 3DFillies black and red filaments, with 0.2mm layer height and 25% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer.
