Sourcing the Festool branded Sys3 XXS micro systainers in the US

[venom.jacqueline]

I'm working on a product for my etsy page, a 3D printed insert for the micro systainer to store the DF500 bits and wrench, and I'm trying to source the Festool branded ones.

Systainer store has the Tanos in grey and anthracite which I've already ordered, I'd like to also offer the Festool grey and blue as well but I can't find any US distributors for them. Has anyone seen any?

Here's a sneak peek of the insert design, once I get the design finalized and the etsy listing up and ready I'm going release the STL/F3D for free

Festool-branded Sys3 XXS are readily available over here (UK) in both colours. Although no UK dealer would take the risk of shipping a tool overseas (contravenes the dealer agreement), they might be a little more flexible regarding the cases. PM me and I’ll happily provide contact details for this supplier;

Hope you get fixed up.

Are those the ones they give away at the events?
I was under the impression that they were a novelty item, used to display/store business cards.
I really like the idea of putting DF500 bits in it though. I have kept mine in the original container, but that has a "live hinge" and those don't last forever.

Yep, I got my DF500 used and it's in an original systainer that's yellowed like a vintage PC, so the bit case is barely holding on

Thanks! I looked at Axminster since I have the Parf Guide mk2 systainer they sell (and the UJK metric guide bush set they sell, for whatever reason metric guide bushings and even metric router bits just don't exist at all over here) and it was a great experience but it doesn't look like they ship the Sys3 XXS to the US.

Hi - I talked with a friend who is a Festool dealer.  He said the two items you are seeking are not in the USA catalog, so he isn't able to order them.  You will have to work with an overseas dealer to ship in, or find someone who has shipped in or get in touch directly with Festool USA, maybe they can help.

I heard from an etsy seller it's on the NAINA list, that's too bad.

Hi, I'm Marco and I live in Italy.  If you need some Sys3 XXS micro systainers I can prepare a box and make a shipment. I'm not a seller, so I should arrange this as a private transaction. I have no profit, just to interact with other users of the forum, the costs would be the same as I would incur
