A wall bracket that prints on its side. It has a back plate, a floor braced by a gusset, and one or more slots, each with a raised lip in front, to hold rulers, guide rails and levels on edge. Print two for a pair. The parameters set the tool thickness and fit clearance, the number of slots and the dividers between them, the lip height, the back plate height, the screw size and the bracket width.
A pair of matching wall hooks that hold long flat measuring tools on the wall: steel rules, folding guide rails, spirit levels and squares. Each bracket is an L or U-shaped cradle with a raised front lip so the tool can't slide off. Parameters: tool thickness and height (the slot size), lip height, cradle depth, number of slots side by side for several rules, spacing between slots, screw hole size and countersink, and back plate height. Clearance should be set by the user so a thin rule doesn't rattle and a thick level still fits. It prints on its side so the layers run along the hook and the hook stays strong, with no supports. PETG is best for a garage.
Made by Workshop Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
