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: Default: one piece with the Backstage/Magliner cart-lip mount, strongest. Prints standing on its end face, no supports; M5 heat-set insert + thumbscrew lock on the lip.

HOW IT WORKS
  Gives the cans a home on the cart instead of the floor. Made for full-size headphones such as the Sony MDR-7506, a director's headset or ear defenders.
  How it holds
  The headband sits in a 48 mm wide valley about 69 mm out from the mount. A 13 mm back stop and an 11 mm front nub keep it there, so the band has to lift over the nub before it can leave, and bumps settle it back into the valley. Every top edge is rounded (R8), so a padded band never sits on a sharp edge. The valley puts the band centre about 51 mm off the cart side, so cups up to about 90 mm across hang clear of the cart. You hang and lift the headphones one-handed.
  Cord cleat
  Under the saddle is a cleat: a bar along the cart on a centre stem, with flared ears at both ends and a 14 mm gap behind it, wide enough for the coiled cord of an MDR-7506 as well as straight cords and earpiece tubes. Take a figure-8 of the cord round the two ends, so it doesn't hang down to the wheels.
  More than one headset: full-size headphones need about 190 mm of cart edge each because the cups hang either side. Fit one saddle per headset and space them that far apart.
  Numbers

  - Sticks out 92 mm from the cart side
  - Hangs 66 mm below the deck (the block top stands 42 mm above it, as on every part in the range)
  - Needs 45 mm of flat cart side below the lip for the back plate
  - Hung headphones reach about 115 mm out from the cart side (their cups)
  - Each part 110 x 48 x 108 mm (out x along the cart x tall)
