Printed BXA tool holder

[KeeponDragon]

Just thought I'd share cuz it's cool how easy a guy can prototype ideas
I don't personally own a printer. But my brother does.
Using something called "slicer" ? I think...he took the measurements of the tool itself, the negative of my BXA tool holder holders, and a similar design on Thingiverse...and came up with this.
It's amusing, I didn't see it til now...but we didn't incorporate a height adjuster
Oops!
I also just thought of an additional feature to rotate it...

Looks nice. These days , many tinkers/makers try to use 3D printer for quick prototyping. I have older Anet A8 myself and I am quite happy with it.

You can't beat them for prototyping. A few cents for plastic and minimal effort is a lot better then $$$ for metal and hours of machining to realize you should have added some material here or there.(For guys that don't do it everyday anyways)

Yep, and I can prototype quickly while having to travel to the shop and spend time machining parts is time consuming and expensive in comparison. My printer was a good investment.
