Description
I bought reamers of amazon which didn't came in a case, Since this a precision tool, i made a case to protect the reamers and especially their cutting edges.
The sizes for the reamers are given in this table, please check the length, or yours might not fit in the case. There's 1mm of play but any longer and the lid won't fit, shorter shouldn't be an issue.
| Diameter (mm) | Length (mm) |
|---|---|
| 3 | 61.5 |
| 4 | 74 |
| 5 | 83.5 |
| 6 | 93 |
| 7 | 103.5 |
| 8 | 112.5 |
| 9 | 121 |
| 10 | 125 |
| 11 | 135 |
| 12 | 146 |
After printing, I used the reamers themselves to make a perfect fit in the corresponding holes. The fit using this method turned out to be just tight enough that they don't fall out, even without the lid while still being easy to take them out.
The reamers I used: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B09KTY5Y5V?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Note: the pictures show some sanding to make the lid fit, this was due to a print defect. The model does have a clearance off 0.2mm so normally this shouldn't be an issue.
