Gridfinity Tray for Cleco Pliers

This tray is designed to hold 2 cleco pliers in 1x5 Gridfinity squares.  There's already a Gridfinity tray for cleco pliers here on Printables, which I printed initially.  I found that it didn't fit my pliers well, and it wasted a bunch of space.  This one is intended to be a little more tolerant of variations in the shape of different pliers (Edit; I don't know that I really succeeded in that, since bigger pliers don't fit at all.  But it holds thinner ones really well), and it holds 2 different styles of pliers in the same space as the other tray.

Since I only have my own pliers to work with, I can't promise that it will fit yours, but hopefully I allowed for enough clearance to accommodate most pliers.  The design was kind of quick and dirty since I am quite busy at the moment, but overall I am satisfied with how it turned out.  Since my 90 degree pliers are spring loaded, I left clearance in the recess at the end of the handle, so I can put a ranger band around the handles to keep the pliers closed.  This resulted in kind of a thin wall between the recesses at that location, which is the only aspect of this I wasn't completely happy about.  For this reason, it may print better using a 0.4mm nozzle, although I used a 0.6mm nozzle to print the unit shown, and it didn't turn out too awful.

Like my other Gridfinity models, the base is altered to accept 6x3 magnets as a press fit, with the upper surface of the magnet holes modified to make the slicer bridge across correctly for a clean result.  Due to the size of this model, I have included sacrificial “mouse ears” in the CAD to give the ends more surface area to help prevent them warping off the bed.  These will need to be removed after printing.

The unit pictured was printed out of Overture matte blue PLA on my Bear upgraded Mk3S+, using a 0.6mm nozzle, at 0.3mm layer height.

Edit to add…. As I alluded to above, there are lots of different styles and models of cleco pliers out there.  I recently bought a pair of ATS #131 pliers, and they don't fit the holder.  Since there is not  enough room left to widen the cutout to fit them, the only thing I can do about that is make a single plier version of the holder to fit it.  When I do that, I'll try to make it more universal than the other Gridfinity cleco plier holders that's on Printables, which as stated above didn't hold my thinner pliers well.  Not sure when I will get around to making that, but in the meantime, the cleco pliers that are verified to fit this are the 04-62 from USATCO, which are relatively cheap to purchase at currently under $7.  The 90 degree pliers that fit are the 12-03756 Clecall upright pliers available from several suppliers.
