This week.

Printed 2 x trays for holding my ER 32 collets.
Trays fit in the mill table drawer.
Originally they were loose in flimsy cardboard boxes, designed with the
ER 32 16 degree inclusive taper.
Also useful for storing eggs during Easter egg hunts. LOL
Hope of interest.

That's a really good idea.? Can you make the file availalble?

This is just what I want to do in ER 25 & ER 32 when I get round to getting a 3D printer you made a brilliant job of them.

John,

Very nice!? I'd like to do something similar...

Ref ER 32 collet tray.
I will do.
I can send the STL file, or g code ? the time to print just about 13 hours.PLA.

STL file.? G-Code is for specific printers.?? What CAD system did you use to design the tray?

Thanks
John

John

see STL file.ER 32 Tray
I use Mastercam v 8.1 (2002) for all my CAD and CAM.
Old version but never lets me down for Mill and 3D printer, still working
on g codes for my CNC lathe .Almost there.

Thanks

I use Alibre. I wonder if it can import a MasterCAM file?? Or if it needs to be STP or IGES.

Looks like it will fit on my build plate and it matches your 14 hour print time.? But as it turns out I also only have ER-20 collets.? Thought I had ER-32s too.?? So for now the little wooden box that holds the ER-20s will do.?

?

Still though, you created a nice project.

John Lindo,, thanks for making the STL file?availalble very nice model.?

John D if you want the ER 20 model just resize the 32 down I have just done it for my ER 25's work well.

Phill?

Thanks, it looks like STL file transfer works.
Good to know for the future.
In Mastercam, provided you scale(size) from the origin, all sizes change equally.
there are options to scale in X Y Z selectively.

Attached an STL file a tray for ER 20 collets
Hope it works for John, if not the tray will make a good pigeon egg incubator. LOL.
STL scaled from the ER 32 tray by a .625 scale factor.
Normal ER 20 collet set is 13 pieces, printed 15 for symmetry only.
A few months ago I printed a box and lid fro my ER 20 and ER 25 collets.,
but the collets are in individual plastic boxes. my ER 32 collets arrived in flimsy cardboard boxes.
and a tray more appropriate to me as they are used more.

This one is only 4.5 hours and 22meters of filament.? Much more doable.? But my ER20s came in this box.? But I can see ordering more of a specific size to fit the various tooling I have in the Tormach Tool holders.? ??So if I ordered a bunch of same size singles I might then need a box of sorts.

Hi guys

?

This is where my ER20 collets end up.? From left to right the TTS collet holder from Little Machine Shop before they started providing ones with the slot for the tool changer arm.

The middle one is from China and there isn't even room for a tool changer slot.? Not sure how I'll deal with it.? The far right is just a standard 3/8" tool holder also from Little Machine Shop w/o the slot for the tool changer.

?

As long as the automatic draw bar will push out the tool then the auto tool changer could still 'catch' the middle tool.? Of course there's also enough room to add some sort of clamp ring that has a slot in the right place for a tool changer.

?

I think 3D printing for some of the parts of a tool changer is a really good application for 3D printing in the machine shop.?
