Modular Leatherman Wave holster

#### What's So Cool About This Holster? 1. **It's Modular**: Design a holder for your flashlight or fire piston, then add an adapter wedge. The wedge drops into the slots on the side of the holster, carrying both tools together! Swap out modules to carry different things depending on your task. Dimensions and tips are included. 2. **More Flexible Carrying Options**: Wear it on the left or right side, angled forwards or backwards, or with no angle at all. It fits belts up to 45 mm wide. 3. **A Closer Fit to the Wave**: I redesigned the holster compartment to fit the shape of the Wave perfectly. The spring-loaded tool-release buttons grab the holster for consistent friction over time. 4. **Sturdier Construction**: Beefier thicknesses and more reinforcement at thin corners make this holster more durable than ever. This is a complete redesign of the Comfortable Leatherman Wave belt holster, based on several previous designs listed on that page. #### Objects Included in This Thing ##### Wave Holster (____).stl - `Wave holster (right side carry).stl` has a 30° forward tilt when worn on the right side. - `Wave holster (left side carry).stl` has a 30° forward tilt when worn on the left side. - `Wave holster (horizontal belt hole).stl` has no tilt. ##### Module Wedge Only.stl This is a model of the wedge that fits into the side-slots, ready to be imported into your CAD program. For those working in other CAD programs, an image of the wedge dimensions can be found in the Thing photos above. #### Tips for Designing Your Own Modules 1. Please add the tag [modular_wave_holster](https://www.thingiverse.com/tag:modular_wave_holster) to your Thing so that others can find it. 2. I recommend a maximum height of 65 mm to ensure your module doesn't extend beyond the holster. 3. The wedge should be flush with the top surface of the module for a perfect fit. 4. Add a drainage hole to the bottom of your module in case you're working in wet conditions. 5. Consider making your holder a C shape for better acceptance of object dimensions. 6. When printed correctly, modules need to be tapped into the slot with a mallet for full seating. 7. You may shim the back of the wedge to make it fit more tightly. 8. Avoid making the wedge too aggressive, as it can distort the slots and ruin the fit of other modules.
