seems like a leather roll-up would be the most adjustable.  You could put
holders for the exact things you need, and expand/add later, using button snaps
for example.  And of course it would look super cool.

I guess the question is whether you have access to leatherworking tools to be
able to adjust the thing, which would be the issue for me if I were to go that
route.  I don't have an awl or whatever it is that one uses to sew leather, and
I am comfortable literally throwing tools in a cardboard box or even directly
into my backpack.

another option if you wanted to be able to iteratively update the holders,
would be to combine 3D printing with another form of media, like canvas
(cotton) fabric backing.  For example, you could 3D print a grabber/holder for
each item individually, and then hot-glue the flat part of it onto your canvas
roll.  When I say hot glue, i don't mean necessarily dispensed with a hot glue
gun, i mean using a hot air gun and a hot glue stick, so you can really soak it
into the canvas and get it to really stick onto the 3D printed part.  And if
you want to take it off, you just hit the back of the canvas with hot air and
you can lift the printed part off and swap it out.
