This is my take on a design to hold tools like pliers and snips on an Ikea pegboard.

I did use similar existing models before but I found the following issues in the model I used:

  • It wasn't very hefty.
  • There was just a single bar, so large tools would tend to lean a lot.
  • It was a bit too long for my needs.
  • It didn't mount flush to the board.

This design aims to solve those issues:

  • It has three compartments, two smaller side ones and a wider middle zone, to suit different size tools and/or a mix of number of tools.
    • I find the smaller ones work best for larger tools. 
  • The bar on which the tools sit is about 5mm thick.
  • The compartments continue with a second bar to restrain & align large tools.
  • The design is relatively compact.
  • It has 6 built in pegs which keeps the design flush & sturdy to the board.
    • The pegs are a design I've iterated on a lot for strength and fit.

Supports are needed for the pegs, typically tree supports work well.
I went a bit too fast for my machine, which messed up the supports and pegs (as can be seen in one of the photos) but there's enough peg redundancy to make it still work fine in that case, and just having the sticking-out parts still adds strength/alignment.
I typically set infill to 100% just for the pegs, think I did the rest at somewhere between 10-15% infill.
