Tent Stake Holder

I have a set of 12 tent stakes that I wanted to organize. Cranked out a quick set of prints to organize and hold them. Stakes measured just under 7mm diameter. I laid out the pattern in LibreCAD and used OpenSCAD to linear extrude an upper (5mm) and lower (35mm) set of holders.

If you print this you may want to print the 5mm part first and check fit and then scale up or down as needed. I lucked out and the very first set I printed on my BigBox worked perfectly. They are just snug enough to not slip loose but you don’t have to gorilla arm them to get them out.

I love how 3D printing allows you to have an idea and then a little later hold that idea in your hand.
