Leatherman Wave (Original) Holster

Here is a holster for my Leatherman Wave Original (the original Wave tool, retired 2004) multitool.  I like that I can remove and replace the multitool with one hand, quickly and easily.  Other holsters I have seen rely on friction or a flap to keep the mutlitool in-place; neither convenient nor secure for my needs.

The holster retains the knife in position with a Neodymium magnet.  The holster secures to your belt with an integrated belt clip.  The belt clip supports belts up to 38mm (1.5in).

I use a salvaged Neodymium magnet from an old 3.5in hard drive, used without the metal plate.  The magnet is curved and about 31 x 13 x 1.25mm in size.  Other similar sized magnets may work, but, test the magnetic hold strength to ensure that the tool can be held in-place during your intended activities.  I secured the magnet to the printed holster with CA (Super) glue.

The belt clip attaches to the holster via two self-tapping countersunk 3mm x 7mm screws.

To note, there has been a second generation Wave, referred to by Leatherman as the "Wave - New", retired in 2018.  The current Leatherman Wave tool is the Wave+.  Unfortunately, the tool dimensions have changed over the generations enough to not fit into my current holster design.  If someone can direct me to complete and accurate measurements for the current Wave+, I'd consider releasing a revised holster to fit.

My print is made in 1.75mm eSUN PLA+ filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a Bambu X1 Carbon printer.  Print supports are not required.  Parts are by default orientated in the way I printed them on the print bed, which should give it maximum strength.  Probably wise to include a brim when printing the belt clip part vertically.

I hope you can find this print useful, too.

Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.
