ToughBuilt StackTech Compact Tool Box Mod

Since my original tool bag broke, and I can't find replacement parts for it and instead of making them, I decided this was a perfect excuse to get the StackTech. So this is my mod of the ToughBuilt StackTech compact tool box. 

I made a wheeled base for the box to mount onto (because who wants to carry their tool box when you can just tug it along) and made custom attachments for all my tools to mount to. 

Interior:

I created a custom Molle panel for the interior of the box to strap tools to. The panel is mounted with 8-32 screw and uses spacers to space out the panel from the box. 

I also made a slotted plate that slides into the existing divider slots and an organizer that locks into the slotted plate to hold my tools.

Exterior:

I remixed the attachment rail (credited below) to create my own with 8-32 bolt patterns to mount whatever I create. Since Molle panels are super versatile, I created a side and front Molle panel for the tool box (Reference Images posted). 

I also made some mountable D-Rings to clamp stuff to, a hinged electrical tape holder, and a quick Channel lock holder. 

Wheeled Base:

To make it removable, I used the ToughBuilt bar to hold the Handle Mount in place. Then, when I want to remove the box, I unclip the ToughBuilt bar, take it out, and remove my tool box. 

The handle is mounted with 1/4x20" (use a minimum of 1" long bolts) bolts and locknuts.  

The drawer uses 15x3mm magnets as stopping points. The front holes take 1/4x20" bolts for a custom handle.

11" wheels with built-in bearings were used, and I used 1/2x6" carriage bolts as a shaft; using the Shaft-Bearing Adapter (V.4) to fill in the bearing slot on the wheeled base. 

To level the base, I made legs for the wheeled base which mount to the 1/4x20" slots on the wheeled base, and I used a deck screw to go through the cleat hole and hit the leg (this prevented the leg from rotating as there is only one point to mount the 1/4x20" to. You may also use an M4 threaded rod, instead of the deck screw, to pass straight through and add some rigidity. You'll just have to drill out the pilot hole).

Print TBST Wheeled Base Leg (12mm C.S) +  print a mirrored copy for the other side and use a 1/4x20" threaded rod to add rigidity to the legs to make them robust.

Print Settings

I printed the Wheeled Base with 8 walls and a 30% infill in Elegoo's Rapid PLA+ (This used about 750g)

I printed the legs for the wheeled base @ 10% infill with 3 walls, and it's holding up so far. 

The handle mount was printed in my regular settings (3 walls, 10%infill), as I printed it as a prototype, but it's holding up surprisingly well; The only weak point right now is the telescopic handle. 

Attachment Rails, D-Rings, & the Hub were printed with 6-8 walls at 10-20% infill.

Everything else was printed @ my regular settings

Material:

I used this Handle I found from AliExpress (Refer to image posted for exact one). (It works and holds up surprisingly well, but I recommend using a heavier duty one if you can find one).

The wheels I got a long time ago from princess auto. They're 11" wheels with built-in bearings, and I used ½" x6" long carriage bolts as a shaft for the wheels.

Thanks to these makers for posting their tough built mods. I was able to remix them, to help modify my tool box.
