Thank you! I've been pretty lucky with my P1S printing pretty clean so far. Also, for your records, the models of clamps that I have (all Jorgensen) are: (smaller clamps) #3704-LD and #3706-LD, and (bigger clamps) #3706, #3712, #3718, and #3724. I just double-checked them and all of them except the #3718 and the #3724 fit. Those two are the biggest ones, but they're so close to fitting that I imagine a 5% size increase would be enough.
This is neat. I wonder how well it works with the stacking. I won't know till I try it, but I do wonder if the underside supports were at a 60deg angle if they would make stacking simpler, easier, and still perform the sort of trick to make this work.
Worked well with my cheap generic chisels. Sit nicely and are easy to remove. Thanks!
These were perfect, thank you!
Another very well thought out design. I'm not sure exactly how I want to hang them on these holders. Almost nobody hangs them heavy part down like in my picture, but it is so much easier to hang them quickly that way.
Printed on my kobra go in overture matte pla with the screw holes facing up.
On one of the 2 i have done so far I used a 0.4 nozzle with .3 layer height .6 line thickness and added 10 degrees of heat. Without adjusting speed or acceleration I went from 5:30 to about 2:45. This was the perfect model to test the virtual bigger nozzle idea from CNC kitchen. If it fails I'll report back here. But from his testing it should actually be stronger than the one I printed "normal"
*EDIT*
I added a couple more pictures of my clamp rack to demonstrate the different ways these will hold your parallel clamps if you so choose. (edited)
I tried with lightning support so I could fill it with sand, didn't work so well. So it is grid for now and makes a great piece anyways!
Great simple design printed at 80% infill and 125% on the x axis to widen it a bit for my old 18g dewalt tools.
@W5AUG Thanks for the feedback and the prints look great! I added another version that is 25% wider in case anyone needs one similar to what needed
@PendingProgress no problem those prints are the original before I widened it. Here are the wide versions in action.
@Freddysix It looks so nice in red, thanks for sharing your print of it! (edited)
@emptyL Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I've printed 4 or 5 of these so far (I've got a lot of the Jorgensen clamps!) and love them. They printed very well at the pre-loaded settings (using a Bambu Lab P1S). I was tempted to raise the infill count up a few percent, but I don't think it needed it.
I had an idea that would be really cool. If, like me, you've got a lot of clamps, you could modify the file to be 3 different versions: I'm imagining a left, middle, and right version, where the inside edges could fit another clamp between holder sections (the left would be like the left edge of this file, but the right edge could be like the right side of one of the inside slots. The right version would be the opposite of that (a solid end on the right side, and the left side would be able to hold half of a clamp between this block and an adjacent block), and the middle would be able to put part of a clamp on both left and right edges between the middle and adjacent blocks. That way, you could hold more clamps (1 extra between every block) and possible save a little space :-D

@Shadoweclipse_617082 I typically leave the infill as default and bump the perimeter or wall loops up to 3 or 4. As long as you print it with the back of it sitting on the bed, the screws are going to support the majority of the load
If you end up printing them, let me know how it goes!

you'll have to excuse the condition of my chisels. My wife brought them out to do some maint around the homestead, and I had to go find them.
This print however came out great. It looks like they will they fall out, but it circles back around just enough to hold them even as I tilted them almost horizontal. Another great job!!!
Printed on my Kobra Go in Overture Matte PLA and a slowish profile. Took about 2 hours give or take.
Printed the holder this evening as soon as I saw it! My chisels have been living precariously on a magnetic strip for the past few years. I printed them in PETG as that's what I had on the printer at the time. The chisels fitted as snug as a bug in a rug. Perfect ! Thanks 🙏 @PendingProgress.
You may've notice that in my haste to install, I had the torque set a bit high on the power driver for the left-side screw (oops). Never mind, the other are done to perfection. This thing will last for decades.....
@StephenJ looks like it turned out great! Good to know the holder fits your version of the Irwin chisels. Thanks for sharing!
Nice simple holder. Upscaled to 140% so the broomstick with ⌀23 fits perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
Printed with Extrudr PETG hellfire red.
@Freddysix Looks really good!
Almost ! My square is slightly too big for the holder, it was worth trying anyway.
I will do a remix when I have a chance for those who have a IRWIN or other similar sized combination square like mine
Sorry I cant give it a 5 star. The file is good, the design is good, but it doesnt fit my square. I did have printer issues that caused warping but that is my environment not the file. Either way its too small to hold my older Starrett. You know what, my square being bigger has nothing to do with your design, I'm adding the 5th star. Good work.

@PendingProgress the inside of the top would need fit 115x20 (mm obviously)
@Spsully_220536 There's a new version for a 115x20 mm base sized Square. I sized it a little bit up to make sure it would fit (116x21mm). If you print this version, let me know how it goes!
