One I have is cracked. It's a Festool-branded systainer, so I'd prefer to get it from them.

(I suppose I should call parts instead of asking here, but...)
 
You can look it up in the Spare Parts ekat system.  Very part is available separately, so you can order just what you want.  Here is a link to the page, but each session is an individual login so I can't post a link directly to that page:  https://www.festoolusa.com/service/repair-service/spare-parts

Once you get there it will be under [workplace organization] then [Systainer/storage systems] then [Systainer / sortainer]

Sorry I couldn't give a full link.

Thanks. I thought I had tried this before, but I see it now.

I ended up ordering the lid from Festool for nearly as much as a whole new systainer, so they are available.
 
I just ordered the CXS18 and I was considering doing a lid swap with the new combi (not out in NA yet) and the SYS3 Attic systainer. I have seen lid parts before. I believe you just pull the two pins and the lid come right off with the older gen T-loc. I'm not sure if the SYS3 lids are the same but I did see two pins. Since they also have extra bracing in the center it might be slightly different lid swap process. I just wish Festool had the product stickers available. It would annoy me that the combi lid swap wouldn't have the stickers on the outside of the box.

Yes, the lids swap just like on a T-Loc. Just give the pin a sharp smack with a small hammer and it will pop right out. Be prepared to catch it. Same in reverse to reassemble.

The center hinge does not snap into place. It just drops / fits in and lifts right out ................ nothing extra to do.

Try these downloads from Festool for your labelshttps://www.festool.com/knowledge/systainer-label-download#Circularsaws .

Years ago for the TLoc series, Tool Nut offered a complete lid, latch, dividers and cover assembly for about $27. It was a viable option at the time because of the price. With the newer Systainer³ series, I think it's more cost effective to just purchase the entire assembled unit.
