Wow, nice.  You have an .stl file you can share for that?

I sure do. I'll post it later. I need to make some changes to some of the hole diameters for the Allen wrenches and a couple of the center drills. I had to drill them out to get a good fit. Also, it's actually made from two prints. The back panel for hanging the body is a separate piece which is glued and screwed to the back of the body. If I were to do it over I would eliminate the screw by insetting the panel into the body via a dovetail shape. Then it could just be glued to the body.

I can post the FreeCAD file also if you'd like. Then you can make changes if you need to.

Let me know if you'd like anything changed and I can create a new stl file. I'm getting fairly good with FreeCAD so changes would not be a lot of work.

Nothing fantastic but it fixed a problem of countersinks clanging together in storage.

So... the multi-flute countersinks don't get any love? Just the zero flutes?

Looks good Ed.

How did the print turn out?

It printed fine, and the pieces I tried in it all fit well. However, I think I am going to re-print it mirrored, so I can mount it to the back of the lathe shield. Being left handed, I have to have the chuck key on the left, or it will drive me crazy.
