HOW IT MOUNTS
  BACKSTAGE CART LIP (ONE PIECE, STRONGEST)
    The cart-lip slot is printed into the holder, so it is one piece and as strong as it gets.
    Hold it tilted, hook the slot over the upright lip on the edge of a Magliner / Backstage-style cart
    shelf, and rock it down until it sits flat against the side.

    Notes for this holder: One piece with the Magliner/cart lip block (shipped part, strongest). Two optional M5 heat-set inserts + thumbscrews. Prints upside down, rims on the bed, no supports. 228 long.

HOW IT WORKS
  Three slots side by side on the cart. The big slot is 54 x 94 mm and 80 deep, sized for a Fluke 117 (bare or in its holster) or a 25 ft tape with its clip. A slimmer meter such as a Fluke 323 or 101 fits but has about 20 mm of play, so it leans and can rattle on a push: stick a strip of foam on the back wall to take up the slack. Its 40 mm front U lets you pinch the meter out one-handed. It also takes a 16 ft tape, or a 25 ft tape with its clip. The scissors slot takes gel scissors and shears up to 18 mm thick, with handles up to 70 mm wide. The knife slot (26 x 50, 70 deep) takes a utility knife, folding knife or Leatherman-size multitool.
  Every slot is closed at the ends, with a V floor that drains through a 6 mm slot. The tools stand handle-up in the same spot every time.
  On the cart: sticks out 65.5 mm from the cart side, hangs 63 mm below the deck, and needs 48 mm of flat cart side below the lip for the back plate to bear on. It is 228 mm long.
  Retention: held by gravity unless you fit the M5 thumbscrew. Press a short M5 heat-set insert (6.4 mm bore) into the hole on the deck-side face of the clip, then fit a nylon-tipped M5 thumbscrew. It clamps the cart lip so the part cannot lift off on a snag, slide along the lip or rattle. The screw sits 13 mm above the deck, so your cart's lip needs to be at least 16 mm tall.
  Fits: Backstage Equipment and Magliner-style carts with a 3.4 mm shelf lip. It drops on from above: a 3.7 mm slot (0.3 mm clearance), 26.6 mm deep with a rounded end and chamfered ends.

  Test pieces section of the site (or this part at low infill) and check it on your own gear.
