I tried to focus on making it as dense as it could be while still being usable. Even with my thicc fingers I can reach in and grab them without issue.

The slots are labeled with mm sizes (rather than no. 0 etc) and embossed to work with multimaterial printing (which I can't do and is untested, but one could?) or for going over with a paint pen for contrast (what I do). The files are included if you'd like to change the labels to something that suits you better.

Files

Upload step and stl exported from that file. I can share the freecad file if it's helpful, they're just annoying to anonymize so I didn't.

Compatibility

The Amour hooks are each about 140mm long, and on measurement it seemed there were two sizes of grip, so the slots are sized accordingly. At the widest of either perpendicular axis of the grip they measured out to about 11.9 x 8.9 and 12.8 x 10.3 mm. So if your hooks are similarly sized this should work.

See attached photo for how they fit.

Uses 4x4 gridfinity footprint and a stacking lip. I personally use Clickbase Refined (https://www.printables.com/model/1487592-clickbase-refined-a-no-magnet-latching-gridfinity) rather than magnets, but magnet holes are present.

To use your preferred base, you may want to consider using: https://gridfinity.tools/rebase/

Which seems neat but which I have not used yet.

Print

AI Use

I made this with the assistance of clankers. I am learning FreeCAD and find it helpful as I work through -- if there are unidiomatic parts of the design or suggestions on improvements I would love to hear it. Some things I struggle with and then ask the robot, and sometimes it tells me the right way and sometimes it's extremely unhelpful.
