It was important to find a kit that had very small corner blocks. Could I have used a miter saw to cut the edges? Sure, but this was simpler and I liked the look. The trim has stayed in place nicely, but holding it in place was a bit of a challenge. I ended up using a combination of mini quick-grip clamps , and small spring clamps. They were a bit hard to wedge between the wall and the pegboard, but it worked.
Before I set out printing, I bought a few things. Namely this World Axiom pegboard set of metal hooks, cups, and jars to jump-start my pegboard project. Metal hooks are a must-have and, while you can 3D print some hooks, I feel more confident in the metal ones to hold up some items. And I like the jars for small items: safety pins, extra bobbins, etc.
But I will note that you can print lids like these that you can attach to baby food jars to make your own. I also added some shelf brackets and shelf panels. I like it for its size, but the thing does not want to maintain a wi-fi connection!
Or the Anne Taintor calendar , which is an annual requirement! It has a nice robin-egg blue kind of color and, for most things, has printed nicely at a temperature of about The set includes a wedge type shelf — you can see my tiny accidental one to the right in the photos, along with another one of my Manhattan Pegboard Project accidents and one of the little green aliens that long ago infested my home after a Disney trip and just keep appearing. It also includes round and rectangular holders, as well as round holders for pens, screwdrivers or tools.
Those will need to be next up on my list. I created the spray bottle holders from this set, as well as a document holder, and the scissors holder that you can see in the large image for this post. From there, you can find the variables to set to customize the size of your object. You can find other 3D print organizers for Cricut accessories, but this one was remixed for use on a pegboard and works out great for keeping blades and tools organized and ready. Much better than throwing them in a drawer!
This organizer printed perfectly the first time. If you use a smaller one, you might also be able to fit a sewing tape measure in there, too. Events of November Bioprinting World Map.

Additionally, they have a custom mounting solution that prevents them from falling off of the pegboard.
Below, I have a video of the toolholders and links to the files of all of my current designs. The mounting mechanism of my pegboard hooks is twofold. First, the main load is taken up by screws threaded into the plastic mounts. These have screw heads that just fit into the hole of the pegboard. Once the head is inserted through the pegboard, the holder slots down until the threads of the screw hit the pegboard hole.
Then, there is a 3D printed plastic pin that prevents upward motion. This means that the screw head cannot come up over the lip of the pegboard making it impossible to remove until the pin is uninstalled. After it is installed, the locking pin is threaded into place. I used Autodesk Fusion to design all of my tool holders. As mentioned in the video, there is not science to the tool mount design.
The basic principle is finding geometry on the tool that you can easily attach to in a secure, but removable way. To make this clear, I will outline my process for one of the tools I have. The tool in this example is a caliper. I chose this as it is a very common tool. The first step for any tool is to take a picture of it against a light background. This will be used as a canvas in fusion A canvas is basically a translucent image that you can define the scale of.
