Holders for mounting on pegboard. Also an exercise to bring up my CAD/FDM printing vocabulary. As the first picture hints, going through a series of iterations to work out what works (or not).
So far...

Major goals (as the above):
Minor goals:
Note in particular the bit you do not see - the bits of plastic that act as anchors. I wanted something much stronger than a plastic peg. The majority of the load is taken by the metal screw. The bit of plastic that acts as anchor compresses against the pegboard hole and the back of the pegboard, just enough to hold the screw in place. The result is solid and strong.
If you end up moving around things a lot before settling on final arrangement, you might wear out some anchors, and have to print a few replacements. As the anchors take relatively little time to print (15-20 minutes in my case), this is acceptable.
Note that at present design for arms is fairly strong, and can handle moderately heavy objects. (There was an earlier version - designed when I was new to 3D printing - that proved not strong enough.)
