Craftsman 3/4 in Socket Set in Craftsman TradeStack Box
I bought a Craftsman ¾” Socket set at an auction for $120. Some of my parts may not be Craftsman. All the Sockets, the Ratchet, and the Breaker bar are Craftsman.
I did not want to put it in my large toolbox but wanted to keep it separate to carry out to the job site. I then purchased a Craftsman TradeStack toolbox CMST21415 and created 3D Printed blocks to hold and organize the socket set.
In the front I created a tray to organize the Sockets from 1” to 2”. Fifteen sockets in all. In the back I created a top and bottom tray to hold an 18” Sliding T Handle, 2 Extensions, a breaker Bar, and a Ratchet.
Each Tray was divided into 3 parts to fit my printer bed. I use Loctite Plastics Bonding system to glue the sections together. The way the sections fit in the box; gluing is only needed for the top tray. I used a Brim to help eliminate distortion along the bottom edge and corners. Infill was set to 10% and Grid, to speed the printing. Support is required for the sloped bottom edges. Each of the 9 parts took about 20 hours to print.
The Font used for “CRAFTSMAN” is called Tradesman.
I also created a Top Bar, to go over the sockets, to help keep them in place. I glued this to the lid.
To identify the sockets, I used labels created on a Cricut.
