I made this to create an adaptable wall organization system for my CNC tools. These pieces are for 0.25" and 0.125" end mills (or bits, or whatever). Bits are quite spaced out which makes for easy access!

**What are Polypanels?**

_"Welcome to the world of Polypanels, a system of snap together parts that let you build whatever you want! It’s like an open-ended construction toy for making functional things, harnessing the power of 3D printing and the community to make it truly  limitless."_

_**Printing Guidelines**_

A high wall thickness of 5 shells/perimiters will ensure solid snap connectors. From there settings can vary based on your desired outcome. Print solid for the most robust and long lasting joints, or print a lower infill with 0 top and bottom layer thickness for a cool exposed infill pattern.

Proceeds from this model go toward the purchase of a handicapped-accessible vehicle. When the going gets tough, the tough get creative.

This was so much fun to design and build! Overengineered by design to be remixed, modified and customized. Infinitely customizable, robust, practical and more than anything – fun to build. This is a medium difficulty build. You can build this with basic tools.

**Reference the photos for dimension before printing, as there are many models and designs of rotary tools.**

The gear track on the back is longer than necessary, so you can remix it to make it taller if you want by extending the Upright Frame. ** Blank Frame Slider STLs are included in case you need to remix to fit a different model or brand of rotary tool. The base has holes for table mounting for stability. The Track Brakes allow for positive stop positions, so you can work with both hands free. The drill press will be stiff the first few times you use it. A DXF template is included for marking before mounting to a tabletop etc.

Modeled around 4mm Hex bolts & nuts. Vinyl lock nuts work best, especially for reducing vibrations. You can use regular 4mm nuts with or without lock washers, but with enough use they need to be re-tightened.

* Not all manufacturing standards are the same, therefore you may find slight differences in the tolerances on the bearings – double check your measurements before printing. Remix if needed. 


** Some printers struggle with thin walls. There are two models of Frame Slider included – the STANDARD and a Reinforced Frame Slider. **If your printer has trouble printing thin walls correctly, the Reinforced Frame Slider works better as it has no thin walls. **

The Driller's Assistant is a nifty little 2-in-1 drill guide and dust collector.  Rather than breaking out the vacuum to clean up after drilling, just use this tool to collect the mess while you work, making cleanup a breeze!  When you're finished drilling, just slide open the bottom hatch to dispose of the gathered dust and shavings.  It's even small enough to fit in most pockets so you can keep it close at hand while working. 

**Printing & Assembly Tips**
I recommend using supports when printing the top half, mainly around where the drill hole is located.  The other two parts don't need supports.

The slider has a thickness of 0.4mm so I recommend printing with 0.2mm layer height so it ends up only being two layers thick to help with flexibility.

To assemble, just position the slider in it's slot on the bottom half of the housing, apply a little glue to each peg, and press the two halves together.
