Trying to guess, Tek 466 odd vintage?

It would be good if all electrical equipment's had a stout hook arrangement in place for winding on excess cables .
Once my new man cupboard is up and running & I get back into 3D printing , I might actually 3D print some stick on formers for such things & use super sticky pads that " sticks like sh*t " to a blanket .
Hmm happens I have just purchased 10 cartridges of that very adhesive this evening just before Screwfix's closing time .

Printed a 32mm & some 35mm of these.
32mm for the standard Numatic hose adapter, in green:
& some 35mm for the non standard 35mm hose I use on Bruce & Horace.
The 35mm pipe I use on those is so that I can use standard water/waste pipe & fittings for hooking up to some of the machines for extraction, & for easily adding extension hoses etc. 35mm waste pipe & this type of rubber hose:
makes it easier to extend or connect to other gear.
That dust collector above works well. Only good for flat surfaces, but printed those as it's easier to see the marked spot for drilling than using the Bosch collector which has the brush type affair round the hole.
The Bosch clings to even the most uneven of surfaces, but is a bit bulky, & that brushing makes it a bugger to see the spot you've marked.

In a case of the little old lady who swallowed a fly...
I had my printer in pieces over the last week or so.
I had the filament jam in the printer, which succeeded in stripping the chezzy plastic gears in the Creality extruder drive. I decided it was a good time to go for a better one with double drive wheels and better tension system. I got a DXC drop in replacement extruder. like https://dxc2.phaetus.com/
I also found that while you can get metal replacement gears for the original Creality extruder , the originals are loctited in and if you don't heat the bolt, you shear it off, thus making the whole exercise futile.
Then I had the Blob of Doom while leaving it to print without setting up a new roll of PLA which totaled the hot end, so got a Microswiss hot end replacement.
the problem with the new extruder drive is that it was taller, so now the filament tube won't fit under the
It seems to be a common problem, and there are several risers available to print on the websites.
It was not a great print and if I feel the urge I may redo it one day, but it is done along with a small storage bin I am trying out.

I have been printing a storage system for all the little stuff I keep losing and reordering 
All in petg.
All in petg.
Whats the story behind those then?
Got sick of rummaging through the cardboard box for tools for the printer. Downloaded and printed a holder to go on the side. It replaces one of the cabinet screws with a 3x12mm screw. It should be a black countersunk one, except I can't find my box of them.
Like a shopping trolley token thing, I put the magnet in the recess and press it into the aluminium wheel of my climbing device, more accurate and easier than just gluing when doing 175 devices.
Do the all drawer frames lock together to make a 3 wide by 3 high unit . Can they be wall mounted as a big block?I have been printing a storage system for all the little stuff I keep losing and reordering

Not at the moment. I plan on designing something so they don't fall off the shelf they are destined for.
No plans on wall mounting at present.

Each of the caddys have large holes in every face. I will probably just make a screw down plate with corresponding upstands that sits on the shelf.

Excuse the different filaments. I'm designing some dremet bit storage and printed another drawer. It has these spring operated modules for keeping stacks of the 38mm discs so you can slide one out at a time.

More storage solutions. I have a fair few of these trays with hardware in them. This is just the start! They sit in a draw and it seems the one I want is always on the bottom.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
Oeer thats a great idea. Have the same issue. Have you got a link to the file please?
