What's currently in my 3D printing tool kit:
First of all lets frame this right: My kit is for when I go traveling with my 3D printer which I do almost ever day.
Hobby Tool Box: I got this from Solutions but I'm not sure if they sell it any more. It basically expands when you open it, has 2 levels and I'm able to fit almost everything inside.
In the Tool Box:
- Hex wrenches and screwdriver that came with the Flashforge Finder
- Elmer's Washable Gluestick (always have a spare)
- 3D printed Ring Sizers (test people's ring sizes before you build the ring)
- Work Gloves (wear the one that holds the part you are trying to scrape off. This is so that my scraper does not jab my hand since I don't want to bleed all over my 3d print!)
- Sandpaper
- Husky Paint Scraper from Home Depot
- Plastic paint scraper from Walmart
- Metal eating utensil knife (before I got the scrapers...don't use this as much now)
- Tweezers
- Long needlenose plyers
- Wire clippers
- Elmer's Washable Gluestick
- Husky Utility Knife (great for cutting painter's tape)
- Blue Painter's Tape (get the widest one you can!)
- Scissors
- File (for smoothing out rough printed edges)
Other Items:
- Vacuum seal bags with dessicant bags (I save them from various things and use them here to help stop the stored filament from absorbing any moisture)
- Spare build plates and build plate sheets (I like a faster turnover)
- Digital caliper (for measuring part accuracy. Got a cheapy one from Amazon)
- Measuring tape
