This is a simple storage system for the test leads on a Fluke 117, although as this is using the slot for their magnetic hanger that is used across many of their multimeter line, should work for other models as well.

I sized this to allow the test leads to be fitted as shown, with the negative cord being laced first, then the positive.  This allows only the positive lead to be uncoiled for free hand use, and then to use the holder and case to use the top access of the neg lead to use it where the other test point is more stationary.  

Also easily to just remove both lead sets and also the holder for stand use. 

As the print was easier to do in 2 sections, I used a pair of threaded inserts and M3 bolts to secure it together. 

Note, one probably change I would make is to lengthen and flatten the top plates bottom end to easily allow the holder and multimeter to stand on the table.   This would allow it to use the stable neg lead in place, whilst using your hands to hold the test unit and other lead.

Files include step/f3d file, individual parts, but also the 2 parts on one plate.
