Description
🐝 US General 30” 5-Drawer Mechanics Cart — Custom Honeycomb Storage Wall
This is a precision-fit Honeycomb Storage Wall (HSW) designed specifically for the
U.S. GENERAL 30 in., 5-Drawer Mechanics Cart.
Now you can HORDE more things… I mean—uhh—organize your things!
🔧 Key Features
- Exact-fit design for the U.S. GENERAL 30" 5-Drawer cart
- Large 37 × 20 honeycomb grid for maximum modular storage
- Custom clearance cutouts for:
- Gas struts (lid pistons)
- Locking bar mechanism
- Tight, stable fit once installed
- Converts unused lid space into a highly functional tool storage system
📏 Fit & Function Notes (Important)
- Designed to fit tightly inside the cart lid area from corner to corner.
Any remaining gap will prevent proper installation. - After installation, the lid will not fully close into the locking position
- The lid does close nearly completely and remains fully usable
- All moving components (gas struts and locking bar) operate normally thanks to the built-in cutouts
This is a deliberate design tradeoff:
maximum storage capacity and rigidity in exchange for losing the final locking notch of the lid.
🛠 Installation Overview
Installation is simple and requires only basic hardware and commonly available HSW mounting inserts.
I used the following mounting inserts for my build:

Installation process:
- Print the mounting inserts from the link above (or any compatible HSW insert you prefer)
- Press the insert(s) into the honeycomb wall
- Position the wall inside the lid area
- Drill through the lid using the insert(s) as guides
- Secure the wall using small bolts
I personally used M3 bolts, but any similar size will work — the bolts act only as simple through-fasteners.
Once installed, the wall is extremely solid and does not shift during use.
Note: Mounting inserts are not included with this model's files and must be obtained separately.
