A simple light-duty modular tool organizer that prints quickly and with minimal material. I needed something to organize the pliers and cutters taking up way too much space in one of my toolcarts. After looking at what was out there, I didn't find anything that met my needs/wants/likes, so I created this system. Note: this is very light and will fall over if you remove too many tools at once from the same unit, or if you roll you cart/box around.
It is designed for light-duty use and to be very economical (and quick) to print. I kept it as compact as possible, but you can scale it within your slicer to fit your needs. Just remember to scale the risers (X, Y & Z axis) and the runners (Y&Z axis) equally [e.g. 150%]. The runners Z axis can be scaled to fit you needs, but I found the stock 100mm to be almost perfect when the risers are at 100% scale. I found five risers (plus two runners) works great.
The runners are the same exact size as the cutouts in the risers. I did this to make reproduction easier for others, while giving some margin of error and for adjustability. This should allow anyone to easily account for differences in printers, settings and materials by printing a few runners at various scales (Y&Z axis).
On my printer (Anker M5C-B using PETG and .20mm layers) I found scaling the Y & Z axis of the runners to 98% gave the best results. I also printed these at a 45deg orientation to get the layers aligned without changing a bunch of settings (easy mode).
Depending on your printer, you may need to clean the ends of the runners (bulges) with an exacto knife or sandpaper. I choose to do a very shallow slice with the exacto knife. You can also scale the X axis to fit the length you need (I left it at 100%, which is 100mm).

Printed on an AnkerMake M5C-B using GreyBlue Hatchbox PETG with the following settings: 0.4mm nozzle, 0.20mm layers, 20% grid infill, easy mode, stock PETG profile, no supports. Two runners use ~3g of material and print in 6min 49sec. Five risers use ~10g of material and print in 30min 12sec.
