Friction Tool Holder (Elfa Style)

This is a grippy friction tool holder styled after the Elfa Utility organizer system. Simply push the tool into the rubber on the bracket and it will snap shut holding the tool. It can hold hammers and some yard tools like rakes.

It can snap into the Elfa utility top track. It also has two mounting holes if you don't have an Elfa system and want to screw it to drywall.

Printing

You will need one bracket, one rubber piece and two pins.

The bracket and pins can be printed in PLA or PETG. The rubber piece needs to be printed in TPU or similar flexible material.

The pins should be printed upside down, add a raft if you have problems with adhesion. The rubber can be printed with the bottom on the print bed. The pins and rubber shouldn't need any supports.

I found the bracket is easier to print if printed upside down with supports. Other orientations may work. There are tabs on the bottom of the back side which will be stronger if printed right side up or upside down. Printing it on its back would result in layer lines on the tabs which will cause them to snap. This doesn't matter if you are just going to screw it to a wall.
