Description
This adapter solves a simple but annoying problem: mounting a 2-column MOLLE straps onto a single-column MOLLE strap.
DISCLAIMER: NOT PRINTED YET. FEEL FREE TO COMMENT AND SEND PHOTOS OF YOUR MAKES SO I CAN IMPROVE THE DESIGN.
The design uses:
a front plate with 2 MOLLE columns for the pouch,
a rear tongue that slides into the existing 1-column MOLLE area,
holes for mounting: screws or thin paracord
I designed it specifically as a practical bridge between incompatible MOLLE layouts.
The model is intended as a functional field part, because MOLLE tolerances vary between brands, this should be treated as a test-fit design first.
The basic set is the plate + 25 mm wide tongue. You can also print separately.
There are 2 tongues to choose from:
- 25 mm wide
- 35 mm wide
You may want to slightly adjust tongue width, thickness, or hook size depending on your gear.
Recommended materials are PETG, ASA, or Nylon/PA. I do not recommend PLA for real outdoor or load-bearing use.
