Ridgid Pro Gear 2.0 Handle Pencil/Bit/Pen Case

Ever wonder why the handle for the Ridgid toolboxes are hollow?  Now you know!  This is a simple case/compartment that goes in the hollow toolbox handle. It conveniently takes advantage of the less than 10 cubic inches so you can stash spare pens/pencils/shivs (not judging).

BOTH pieces should be printed vertically.  The button is designed as print in place, with fairly sloppy tolerances and no supports required.  There is some bridging, so make sure your fan settings are right.  The case itself prints fine vertically, but DOES require a support for the end cap.  You can conversely print it with "make overhangs printable" which will make it strong, but you'll lose a tiny amount of space.

I've successfully printed both pieces the tall way with my ancient Ender 5, so you can too--just keep the print speed slow.  Big brims, slow speeds are your friends.  I've found printing the case horizontally either results in the far end curling, or irremovable supports.

Use 2 10mm x 2mm magnets, super glued, to help hold the case into the button.

I had to hammer the button end into my case.  Due to printer variations, you may want to print a test sample to check fit.  The case is snug when all the way in and also held in place by the magnets. It should be loose when partially popped out.

I printed these out of 3D Fuel's Toolbox Orange PCTG Pro, which as you'd expect is a perfect match for Ridgid orange.  I went PCTG just for heat; the case does not really see a lot of stress.
