I've modded a 3x1x6 bin to have an open front with a slot for a microscope slide. Advantages over Zack's: 1) it is a single part, 2) the microscope slide fits tightly enough that it doesn't require glue. Disadvantage over Zack's: 1) it requires supports. It's a mod from kennetek's OpenSCAD bins, and I've submitted a PR to them.

If you ask me, every tool that requires a tool to adjust it should have a place on the tool to hold the tool. Some Ryobi tools have this feature, but the Multi-tool (brushed -- the brushless may be different) does not.

Three 6mm x 2mm magnets are needed to hold the allen wrench into this holder. Very likely it will just fall out without them.

You can see from the photo how it is hot-melt-glued to the base of the tool, just above the battery. It's never proven to be in the way, so I'm happy with it.

I cut into [this case](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4494024) to let me put an [iPhone Magsafe magnet](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MKDPX2T) inside the case so I could attach it to an [Anker magnetic battery](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B099ZD3VK5/)

Don't know where to put your bedlevel sensor for your FLSUN Q5? Print this out, along with my flsun-q5 grid, and put it there.

Attach one or two of these to the top and/or left of your FLSUN Q5, print a few Gridfinity storage bins, and you can keep your tools close to your printer. You'll need a longer screw than the ones that come with your printer. I'm using an 8mm M4, but I think 10mm M4 (of which I don't have) is probably best.

Zack's glue stick holders were either too large or too small. This one is just right for the Avery Glue Stic. This works with the OpenSCAD Configurator, so if you need to make a larger diameter, like big enough for a 500ml / 12oz soda can, you can.

I'm trying to get my work area more organized. Stop leaving tools on my
workbench. To that end, I've been 3D printing tool holders that get mounted on 35mm
DIN "top hat" rail. DIN rail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_rail) has been
around for 80 years, and is mostly used to mount circuit breakers and other
electronics. It's nice because it's relatively inexpensive, easy to mount, and
comes in some very long lengths.

I have been adding to the Thingiverse collection
(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4888847/) as I go along, and intend to
continue. I have published the source (OpenSCAD) in Github
(https://github.com/RussNelson/tool-holders) so that people can contribute
their own designs. 

Imagine if this takes off, and we have a large community of users. Maybe tool
manufacturers will start paying attention, and will publish designs for their
own tools? It's just a file and a relatively small one, too. Then, everybody
who buys a tool will have a way to keep it out of their toolbox and off their
workbench.

To that end, please share this, and tag people and groups who would find this
useful. I think I'll call the idea "Tophat Tools". That can be a group name,
domain name, hashtag, or whatever.

This is the core adapter, and is the only part which attaches directly to the DIN rail.

Inserts ball bearing rollers into the filament support for the FLSUN Q5. You'll need three standard skate bearings. They friction fit onto the part, and it friction (gravity) fits onto the filament holder.

You may need to file the bottom of the part to get it to fit into the rounded rectangles at the top of the filament holder. The bottom of the rounded rectangles is the first layer, which is often a little over-extruded.

A crude knob for my Kenmore stove. Needs to be curved on the top, but it fits nicely.

My porter-cable battery charger didn't have any screw holes to mount it. This piece creates keyhole screw holes. I glued two of them into the charger, although they're a tight enough fit that wasn't necessary.

I bought a Bora-WTX track saw track and a generic fits-all sled. It didn't fit my Ryobi circular saw. So I built this piece to go between the saw and the track. Ball bearing slides would be better, but two of these at either ends of the saw work fine.

I made a hole for a small 1/16" x 1/4" magnet, but it's not strong enough, so I added zip ties and drilled two holes in each corner of the sled.

I renovated the front door of my townhouse. It needed new fancy moldings around the interior panels.
