I recently decided to go through all of my ukes and replace the synthetic nuts and saddles with bone ones. After going through two of them, my fingers are just in too much pain from shaping them from blanks. I know belt sanders can be had for $40 these days but I just wanted a small sander to work with these nuts and saddles.
So I designed this little Dremel (mine is a Dremel 300-1) holder and table to do just this with a grinding stone or sanding band adapter. And it works great!
If you've got a 3d printer, I've attached the stl file so you can make it yourself. Here were the Cura settings I used although I'd recommend a higher infill. I used PLA - the way I designed this, there's not much pressure on the stand or table itself.
Enjoy!
[edit] gah it wont let me upload an stl file. I'll put it on thingiverse and link to that.
