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: Shipped one-piece Magliner/cart lip mount (strongest). Optional M5 heat-set insert + nylon thumbscrew.

HOW IT WORKS
  Triple taps wander off all day. This dock gives three of them a fixed home on the side of the cart.
  You drop a tap on blades-down, as if plugging it in. The plastic dummy slots use the standard NEMA 5-15 blade spacing and form a cross, so a tap parks in any of four orientations, and there is a ground-pin relief on all four sides. Each pocket is 82 mm out from the cart and 64 mm per tap along it.
  What fits three-up

  - Cube taps such as the Leviton 692 (about 44.5 x 44.5 mm), and heavy-duty cube taps up to about 56 mm wide along the cart
  - T-shaped triple taps such as the Leviton 697 (75 x 42 x 33 mm): turn the tap so its 75 mm side points out from the cart. The cross slots let you do that whatever way its blades run. The blades must sit within about 3 mm of the middle of the 75 mm side
  - 2-prong taps
  - Will not fit: anything more than 82 mm long or 56 mm wide on the plug face, such as long power-strip style adapters
  On a moving cart
  The tap has to lift 16-19 mm (its blade length) before it can move. A 14 mm front lip and the back wall stop it sliding off, and the slots stop it walking along the dock. About 15-30 mm of the tap stands above the front lip (15 mm for a flat 29 mm cube, about 19 mm for a 697 lying on its 33 mm side), so you pinch it and lift it straight off one-handed.
  The parking floor is 10 mm thick, with a 10 mm skirt front and back under it. A parked tap's blades and ground pin stay inside the skirt, so nothing sticks out below the dock to catch a cable or a knee. The slots go right through into the open channel, so dust falls out.
  Each tap has a recessed 44 x 10 mm label flat on the lip below it, for a crew name, a paint-pen mark or a 1/2 in label strip. There is no metal anywhere near the taps. The dummy slots are plastic, not an outlet: never plug anything into a docked tap.
  Numbers

  - Sticks out 98 mm from the cart side
  - Hangs 74 mm below the deck (the skirt bottom; a parked tap's blades stay above it)
  - Needs 45 mm of flat cart side below the lip for the back plate. Below that, the part stands 4 mm off the cart
  - Overall 116 x 192 x 116 mm (out x along the cart x tall)

TEST THE FIT FIRST
  Carts, bars and tape rolls vary a little. Before a long print, print the small fit test from the
  Test pieces section of the site (or this part at low infill) and check it on your own gear.
