The Ultimate Stethoscope Holder

thingiverse

I work as a nurse in an emergency room, carrying all my essentials with me at all times. I needed something that held the basics, but all I could find were stethoscope holders or tool holders that I never used. So, I decided to create my own solution. This is my first design and print using Fusion 360 and a 3D printer, which is why I went through many iterations before finalizing this last file. I had trouble with the hip clip part of the design, so I referenced zytaziouz's Stethoscope Holder Reinforced for inspiration. Check out his design at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1784097. To avoid printing with supports, which I dislike due to cleanup difficulties, I built supports into the tape holder and it works well. The holder is designed to hold standard 3M paper tape and 7.5" trauma shears. I haven't tested it with other types of shears or tapes, so let me know how it goes! If you print this holder and use it on your unit or in the field, please share your experience! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
