I worked up a design for this a while back:
and posted OpenSCAD code at:
https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/4yt295/hex_bit_storage/
Here we will work out doing this using BlockSCAD.
The first thing we need is a module for hexagons:
With that in place, we can work up appropriate parameters for the design:
and then work up the necessary parts.
The code for the holder itself is pretty straight-forward:
except that holes for the hardware should be added.
For hardware we will use #2 brass screws 1/4" long and make a reasonable pilot hole which if need be can be enlarged with a drill.
One possible improvement would be to angle the bottom.
Last, we make the surrounding bracket which secures the bits.
The project is available at:

for anyone who is curious.
And it now has countersinks in the bracket for the hardware, and parameters for the size/type of the hardware:
