Leatherman Wave Holster

Unhappy with the fitment of other leatherman wave holster I had found online, I decided on designing and printing one myself. I might improve this model at a later date after some more testing and usage, but for now it satisfies my needs.This is a 3D printable holster for the leatherman Wave multitool.The design is made with the 'new wave' (second generation) in mind, I cannot assure fit for the original wave or the wave+ tool. It works by clamping the multitool in place through the tool locking tabs on the side, and the inherent compliance of the 3D print. Printed on my printer there is no wobble, and no matter how much I shake it, it wont accidentally pop out of the holder. However, you can pop it out of the holster with one hand.There's two STLs available, one with and one without texturing on the sides. Recommended slicing/material properties:Filament: eSun PLA+ (in the color of your choice)Temperature: 225 (high end of temp range for improved layer adhesion)Layer height: 0.2mmWall count: 4Infill: 30%Inner wall flow: 103%Support placement: Touching build plate (with support blockers, see images)Support type: Zig zag, 10% density, 40deg overhangBuild adhesion: BrimOrientation: UprightNote on the support blockers:Ensure that the belt clip will have supports, but that no supports are printed between the main body and the belt clip. Use some supports on the bottom of the part to increase contact with the build plate, but don't let them extend too far up due to the texturing. This is not an issue on the non-textured STL file.You can try other materials, but your mileage may vary. I think regular PLA would not be very suitable due to the high stiffness and brittle failure mode. PETG and ABS might be decent substitutes.
