I created a holder for drilling bits as well, haven’t had time to cut it myself, maybe someone wants to try. Also, I had to test the possibility to upload dxf-files directly. :slight_smile:

@Tokoloshe thank you for this topic, looks great, and very helpful!

Been wanting to organize my maker space better, for example hang a bunch of filaments today, and who knows what tomorrow.

Was digging through a bunch of 3D printed shelf bracket options (3D printing Nerd has a series, others like CNC kitchen analyzed and improved). However, seems faster to cut and mount ply brackets for cleats.

Have bunch of pegboards, but cleats seems like a great way to go for wall mounting CNC’d storage. Would love to know if there’s some other newer/better CNC’able method for wall mounted storage?

Not that I know of (and I really like wood and French Cleat :D), I have been wanting to make some organizers for my endmills for ages. :sweat_smile:

I don’t want to start a debate in Philipp’s thread, but I just hung a 3/4" sheet on the wall, and I can mount anything with any resolution with just some short screws. I tried pegboard and I very much dislike it. It is hard to criticize Philipp’s cleats though. It looks great.

Wiki?? :question:

The first entry can be edited as often as one likes. As I plan on adding stuff it makes sense. :smile:

The first 3 were made, after some tweaking in my bit settings (had the wrong bit diameter in estlcam) it is a press fit!
Thank you @Tokoloshe !
