Introduction: Desk Toolbox

A toolbox is used for keeping all your tools nice and organized, but what about the tools you use at your desk? This project is a nifty way to hold all your writing utensils and anything else you keep at your desk.

Supplies

  • Inventor software
  • 3D-Printer
  • PLA plastic (any color)

Step 1: Create the Base

Dimension and extrude the base of the toolbox. This base will be edited in the next few steps to create the final product.

Step 2: Remove Excess Material

Next make an extruded cut through the middle of the toolbox base.

Step 3: Start the Inside

Make an extruded cut on the inside of the toolbox base to make it so the side become longer than the inside.

Step 4: Detail the Outsisde

Make an extruded cut to both sides of the toolbox base. This will create detail to outside of the toolbox.

Step 5: Create the Handle

Next extrude a circle through the whole toolbox and have there be a small amount extra on the sides as detail.

Step 6: Finish the Interior

Extrude cuts into the middle of the toolbox. You can personalize the size and shape of the hole/s based upon what you plan to put inside your toolbox.

Step 7: Round the Edges

Filet the top four corners to create a sleek rounded siding.

Step 8: Print & Enjoy

Setup your file based upon your 3D-Printer and print!
