Customize t-loc 3d print

[Gerald Yang]

Hi everyone,

I’m a big Systainer fan and have always wanted to create customized T-Loc designs, like a red cross T-Loc for a medical kit. My old printer lacked the precision, but I recently upgraded and jumped back into the project. It’s been a bit tricky—PLA is brittle, so I’ve had to tweak EVERY SINGLE latch structures and angles to make them work. TRUST ME ITS A LOT OF WORK!!!!! I also optimized the print orientation to prevent the latches from breaking easily.

I’m sharing my 3D print files here, completely free: click here. I’m still iterating on the designs, so if you print them and have feedback, I’d love to hear it! If you’re not using my print settings, make sure to print at a 45-degree angle to ensure latch strength. Also, be cautious with support placement—some slicers may not generate complete supports.

Happy printing, and let me know your thoughts!

got my original model from here: https://grabcad.com/library/festool-systainer3-1

Consider using a more durable filament than PLA once you have the geometry worked out to where you want it to be. (And take care with environmentals and venting with some of the choices you have)

I've been enjoying my recently acquired 3D printer and have printed quite a few things to support my Festool arsenal. (Not my own designed to-date due to time constraints)

Thank you! I am thinking using those TPU for AMS I heard they are very stiff and hard.
