I wanted to hang my "Makita" (generic Chinese copies and original) tools in my Multiboard but I wanted them not to be simply hanged, but fitted in brackets in which I would just slide the tool in through the battery connector. I didnt found any one with those characteristics, so I took CodenameX battery mockup as a template for the mounts.

My goal was to make them as secure as possible, to keep the tools from falling from the bracket and at the same time keeping them properly secure into the Multiboard panels.

They will fit a large variety of toolks that use the Makita LXT 18V ecosystem, as long as they are not extremely large. I will eventually design a different mount for my car polisher which didnt fit and add to the collection.

Horizontal mounts are designed with "pistol shaped" tools in mind, like drills, impact drivers, glue guns, heat guns. Vertical mounts are designed for smaller lighter tools like flashlights, car jump starters and others (but I actually managed to fit an air blower/vacuum onto one as shown in the photos) and are made in thin and thick versions (I needed the thick one for an original Makita flashlight due to its shape). 

Use standard Multiboard print settings (0.2 layer height, at least 3 walls,tops and bottoms, infill 15% or more) and auto supports (which should be VERY easy to remove if your printer is well tuned).  Print the horizontal mounts in vertical orientation (battery limiter side down) , and the horizontal mounts laying on their sides. I used matte PLA for them, but you can do them in any material of your liking. 

For each bracket you will need six standard snaps (I like to use the raised strong ones, those that are printed folded) and two 13mm T-bolts (or larger if you are using thicker snaps, smaller if using flush).

Note: I will provide better photos soon.
