Yea, the dampers are what go in those large holes on each side with the screws through them.
On the back side of the gray housing you should have square holes. There’s 2 other pieces you print in tpu that you put in there and those kind of just sit against the side panel.
Wow. Just wow.
Very cool stuff!
After trying a few different couplers, this is the G.O.A.T… This location seems to be the best for it too. The others either required glue or a not very smooth transition.
Hi, did you etch that by simply positioning the image of the crest over the bird’s eye view? Or were there some contour setting in Bambu suite you had to set?
There doesnt seem to be real contour matching where the part goes up and down. Even though advertising makes it seem like it would. Or I didnt notice a way, atleast. If it wasnt powder coated, it wouldnt have worked. The top part is etched into the metal but the side areas just cleaned the powder coating off. Didnt really etch it.
Small update. Having extruder issues with my laser version but my non laser has been putting in work this week. Printed a bunch of packout drawer inserts. These were all found scattered around the internet. More to come, but I’ll have to model the last few I need. Edit: The 3rd picture, right half of the 5th pic and right side of the last pic are my models.

Scrolling from bottom up on your pictures, my brain short circuited. I was thinking it was a top down shot of your tool chest with the drawers pulled out. It looked like drawers extending from other drawers endlessly.
Every time I go to Home Depot I spend 10 minutes ogling the packout kits. I never end up buying them since I already have toolchests and like 5 soft tool bags for projects on the go. I don’t have the room to store a bunch of other containers, but I sure love to spend 9 minutes convincing myself that I still need them.
Ace hardware just had a deal where you spend $500 on packout, you save $200. I made two orders that ended up being 40% off. $1,000 - $400 = $600. Crazy deal. Between memorial day and fathers day, this is the time of year. Home depot has some crazy deals too.
btw which extruder issues are you having Jessie? is it solved by now?
Not yet. Extruder overload. No matter which side, nozzle or filament. I think the gear is loose, sliding forward and pinching the filament, if that makes sense. Dealing with support, but not in a hurry. Its in the upper 90’s atm. Bit hot for too much printing.
One YouTuber guys review/testing doesn’t tell me much.
Hmm ok, I haven’t run into that (at least not yet 
)
Hope you get it sorted with support!
Found it:
In the past I disregarded Milewaukee packouts because they seemed far too overpriced, but now with a 40% discount… This may be the time to buy.
@StreetSports What you’ve already demonstrated with your custom inserts is what I aspire to do. I really do believe that when every tool has a well designed landing zone it will be far easier to keep hyper-organized.
Since you’ve already done it, may I pick your brain for a moment? What I notice is that socket wrench drivers and sockets can quickly get heavy when lumped togther in this way. So much so that I can now understand why these systems come with heavy duty wheels.
However, isn’t it hugely inconvenience to have to drag everything everywhere like a homeless person living in Los Angeles
merely to maintain near-term access to a few tools. What are your thoughts on that now that you’ve built the system?
On the other hand, maybe having a system which forces you to keep everything within arms reach is exactly what’s needed, because it makes putting things back in place almost as easy as laying it on a tabletop (which for most of us is the default location to put tools while working on a project. And for those of us who have that habit, pretty soon all the workbench tabletops become filled with tools until it becomes unbearable and we shift into a “need to get organized NOW” mode, which interrupts our workflow until we’ve put everything back away). So, the trade-off becomes continuous organization at the costing of dragging everything everywhere versus cyclical organization. Which is better?
I don’t want to derail your thread, so we can continue offline via DM if you prefer. If that’s the general preference of people on this thread, then I would want to honor everyone’s wishes. On the other hand, if people are generally interested in this, we could either continue it here or start a separate thread and continue the discourse there.
The way I personally used the system is to build a rolling toolbox setup. All drawer style except the top box. I have the fkat dolley too, but decided to not use it because it adds to the height and its now too heavy to roll around anyway. Built for .y mancave. I have my dirty tool set in the garage.
These boxes are nice because i can pull 1 or 2 boxes off, throw them on the dolley and roll it to my truck, if needed.
They definitely make it easy to keep things organized. I can open a drawer and tell right away whats missing(the 10mm lol). I always thought they were overpriced too. But always wanted them.
I added a couple more inserts to my previous post, . Working on the last couple now.
These are what I added yesterday.
I started my packout journey last year and boy is it addictive. Hopefully this winter I can start working on doing similar organization stuff like what you’ve done. I really want to start buying the half width containers and organize them by tool types like soldering, dremel, riveting, etc.
I’ve been pretty heavily involved with my local high school’s marching band; donating my time helping build props, maintain equipment, and moving equipment to/from shows. It gets quite cumbersome lugging around half of my garage’s tools in bags, buckets, and various other containers when I’m out there working on stuff. So glad I talked my boss (wife) into letting me invest in the packout stuff. It’s made moving tools back and forth pretty simple.
I made a setup for my truck that lets me keep two of my Packout boxes at the end of the bed where they lock into Packout plates. They sit pretty flush up against the tailgate to help prevent them from being stolen. Let’s me travel to competitions with all my important tools.
I like that setup. I may copy you. I like that its still really low profile, so i can still use the bed. Thanks for sharing.
Stepping my modeling game up for the next inserts.

My reason for wanting a 500x500mm printer (the one I’ll be getting in August) was so that I could print entire containers and not just inserts. Simply put, the container will have the inserts molded into it. Maybe it’s the wrong choice, but I’m going to give it a go, because it should mean no wasted vertical space. On the other hand, it means making changes down the road will necessitate a complete redo and therefore be more expensive than just printing a new insert. I guess I’ll try it on one or two and see how it goes.
Anyway, just wanted to say yours looks fantastic! Very professional, as though done by Milwaukee itself. 
You may want to give it a try with your 500mm ratrig, or any other large machine you may have. It looks as though you can get plenty of strength out of it, like in this demo video:
