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, strongest: native Magliner/Backstage 3.4 mm cart lip mount, optional M5 heat-set insert + nylon-tipped M5 thumbscrew. Prints on its end, no supports.

HOW IT WORKS
  Dikes, linesman's and strippers live on every cart, and a pliers jaw does not fit a knife holster. This rack hangs each tool jaws-down in its own pocket, handles up, so you grab it one-handed and see at wrap which slot is empty.
  Two tapered V-slots: one for diagonal cutters (dikes) and a narrow one for a wire stripper. Short enough for a camera cart that only carries dikes for zip ties and a stripper.
  Each pocket is a V that narrows from the top to an open bottom. The pivot head wedges in the V and the jaws hang out the bottom, so one rack takes many brands. One wall of each pocket leans 8 degrees and the other 40 degrees, so every tool settles against the same wall and they all lean the same small amount, side by side. The handle plane runs along the cart edge, so the rack only sticks out by the tool's thickness (pockets are 26 mm deep for tools up to about 25 mm thick; a Klein 9 in linesman is 19 mm).
  Stays put on a lift-gate drop: a jolt drives the tool deeper into the V. To come out, a tool has to rise the full wedge height and then clear the raised front keeper lip, which stands 15 mm above the V tops along the whole front. The pockets are open at the bottom, so rain and dirt fall straight through.
  Handles stand above the deck: the tools stand up outboard of the lip, along the cart edge, with the handle tips about 100-180 mm above the deck (a 9 in linesman is the tallest). Mind them when you slide cases or covers onto the top shelf. Not yet test-fitted with every brand: try your own tools on the first print.
  Cart facts

  - Sticks out 39 mm from the cart side (the tools add nothing in this direction: they hang inside the 26 mm pockets)
  - Hangs 59 mm below the deck (jaws hang a little further below)
  - 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 56.5 x 123 x 100 mm (out x along x up)
  - Nothing of the part sits higher than the 42 mm mount block
  - Tool handles stand about 100-180 mm above the deck, outboard of the lip
  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.
