Plastic IMO will not be rigid, bad idea, again IMO

They aren't for holding tools, they are for holding the holders. You mount them to something...the wall, etc and then you put the tool holders on them. It's really just a storage idea.

The holders are actually a good idea. Probably a STL for them at thingiverse

I've made tool holders from hardwood that worked quite well for light cuts so I figured the higher strength Petg would work.

I bought some 3D printed holders like that. They work great screwed to a board by the lathe. Keep them in reach

ok so 2 conversations going on here, the OP was asking about plastic lathe bit holders not holders for the bit holders.
the plastic holder for the QCTP holder as a storage solution is a great idea, the plastic holder for holding a HSS cutting tool on the QCTP on the lathe to cut metal is a bad idea IMO. btw the original link was for the second item but the wording of the OPS thread made me believe he intended the first.

I printed an AXA tool holder that mounts on 1-1/2" 80-20. It was based on @vtcnc 's design.

Sized the nubs to allow sliding in the slots of the 80-20. Worked out well.
