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 native Magliner / Backstage cart lip mount (strongest). M5 heat-set insert + M5 thumbscrew clamps the lip.

HOW IT WORKS
  Gloves come off for fine work dozens of times a day, then go missing. This clip gives one pair a home on the cart side. Pinch both cuffs together, push them up into the mouth, and let go. The mouth is about 13 mm wide and the spring finger's lip is a long 30 degree ramp, so even a stack of limp leather or knit cuffs levers the finger open instead of buckling. Higher up, the 64 mm wide printed finger presses the cuffs against staggered grip ridges. A sharp downward tug takes them out. Nothing needs a free second hand.
  The jaw rests 1.6 mm open and takes anything from thin liners to leather work gloves. It holds one pair: the finger is one rigid piece across the full width, so a second, thinner pair beside a thick one would not be gripped. Print a second clip for a second pair. The outer face of the finger is a flat label area for a name or department. The mouth faces down, so a glove that gets knocked rides deeper into the jaw instead of being flicked out.
  The grip ridges stop 1 mm short of both ends and the jaw faces are chamfered there, so the first layers leave a 2.8 mm gap and the finger cannot fuse to the fixed jaw. Still, run a knife through the jaw once after printing to cut any first-layer string or bridge.
  Not yet test-fitted with real gloves: try your own Setwear, leather and knit gloves on the first print.
  Cart facts

  - Sticks out 20 mm from the cart side at the mouth lip (plus the gloves)
  - Hangs 72 mm below the deck (gloves hang below that)
  - Needs 45 mm of flat cart side below the lip. Anything lower is set 2.5 mm back from the cart and hangs clear
  - Overall 37.4 x 64 x 114 mm (out x along x up)
  - Nothing of the part sits higher than the 42 mm mount block
  Retention: held by gravity unless you fit the M5 thumbscrew. Press a short M5 heat-set insert (6.4 mm hole, 9 deep) into the deck-side face of the inner flange. A nylon-tipped M5 thumbscrew through it then clamps the lip, so the part cannot lift off on a bump, slide along the lip or rattle. Check first that your lip is at least 16 mm tall.
  Fits: Backstage Equipment and Magliner-style carts with a 3.4 mm upright shelf lip. The mount drops onto the lip from above: 3.7 mm slot (0.3 mm clearance), 26.6 mm deep with a round end, 0.5 mm chamfers at both slot ends.

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.
