Description
This clip-on hex key holder is designed to snap securely onto a 25 mm diameter tripod leg, keeping the two most commonly used tools—2 mm and 4 mm Allen keys—always within reach. It eliminates the usual problem of loose tools getting lost in bags or pockets during setup, adjustment, or field work.
The part is optimized for 3D printing. ABS is recommended for its toughness and snap-fit durability, especially for outdoor use. However, it can also be printed successfully in other materials such as PETG or PLA+. The design balances firm retention with easy removal, ensuring the keys stay in place without rattling while remaining quick to access when needed.
