Tips/Techniques ER20 collet rack

Tips/Techniques
I considered a plate style like that for my ER16 rack (which is how I used to make my plywood racks). But then it occurred to me when you CAD it as a 'solid' the 3DP is basically a shell with infill material. The infill doesn't add much material or print time but gives the tray a lot of stiffness & stability. Not that is a loaded part, its just a glorified organizer/part spacer. Different ways to skin the cat. That's what's fun about 3DP.
Most of mine already came in boxes.
The ones not in the box are permanently in TTS holders for either taps or specific end mills.
Only the ones with the square registration for driving taps and a couple with imperial dimensions.
Really didn't realize I had this many collets. the small ER16's are for a collet holder I bought to put onto the Unimat DB-200 (Project #42).

That was my state of affairs too. I printed by collet block to suite a standard box size I have. What nice is if you are sizing something to the collet you just go across the array to one that fits. In hindsight I made the tray too big for number I have so I printed one half the size with closer spacing & leaves room for related tooling & wrenches. The possibilities are endless.
