Something I've been putting off for a while. My collection of adhesives was in desperate need of organization:

I considered making the epoxy holder in this forum. Then thinking about it, I needed something that fit my bench needs for all sorts of adhesives. And the ability to safely hold epoxy bottles upside down when getting ready to use them so they are on standby. So I whipped some things up in Sketchup to fit my needs. Maybe it will fit yours, as well?








Enjoy, but please post a pic if you build!

The bench buddy is cool.....

 

That is REALLY slick.
I thought about making something like this, but I keep my CA and Gorilla glue in a large container with silica beads. I was having a problem with the CA and Gorilla glue kicking off if not kept with the silica beads.

 

Nice job TT! Thank you for sharing this. We have to have one for the PhlatLAB!

Awesome. The MDF fit is pretty tricky and may require some elbow grease. I tried to give it +.02 wiggle room on the tabs but it could still be tight. YMMV....

Glad ya'll are digging it.

 

A note about cutting MDF, EPP and other woods on the P3:

#1: use a sacrificial sheet of FFF to give the drive rollers something to grab on to. I get best results by spraying the fanfold with Krylon Easy Tack. This spray adhesive works great for easy removal, very low residue and reliable. Available at Michaels craft stores:

#2: use some kind of guide rails to keep the material tracking true. The new P3 drive roller are awesome and very reliable. Even with them, hard materials can skew slightly when the bit is in contact with the material. I use a pretty simple method inspired by Mike "Crash" Handcock. Using a couple socket heads from the toolbox clamped to the front of the P3 deck to act as guide rails. Always jog the material up and down the X to make sure the rails are properly placed.

Very cool! I love the useful designs.

 

Most Home Depot stores should have it where they keep pegboard and 1/4MDF. Pretty good material to work with.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Here's our pic This design rocks!

Thank you so much for posting this ToxicToast! It's the perfect addition to our workshop.

We built this on the LIVE Wednesday Night Phlat Lab Show. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here: http://phlatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=2763#p28460 Attached files

 

I missed the live show but caught it on the re-run. Very cool, thanks for making it! Mark looked pretty giddy!

I've slightly revised the sketchup file for the 6mm version so the parts are almost flush with the Y 0 edge. I wanted to cram two of these onto one sheet if needed so the material does need to be very carefully placed.

Thanks for sharing your results!

 

I love it! Thank you TT this was a great project and went together so fast.
Now I need to hunt around and find all the glues I have to fill it up!
Fantastic job on the plans bro cut out great.
Thank you for sharing
