Design
Compared to other designs for plier holders I made following design decisions
- The holders are stronger and beefier to widstand a bit more abuse
- The holders have tabs added in addition to the hooks to make them clip onto the Skadis board firmly. Some tool holders I have tried tended to clip out when I was taking my tool.
- The holders can be printed without any supports
Printing
- Use PET-G to print the holders. You need a little bit of flex when clipping the holder onto Skadis board. If you use a firm material like ABS it may be very hard to clip the holder onto the board.
- Use 4 or 5 perimeters to make sure the holder is strong, Especially tabs and hooks.
- No supports needed if your cooling is sufficient.
Installation
- insert the hooks into the board holes
- push the holder down and towards the board until it clicks into place
- verify both books and the tabs have locked into the holes properly
Uninstallation
- Firmly but carefully lift both tabs away from the board and push the holder upwards so that the hooks unhook from the board
