Unlock the full potential of your Milwaukee Packout stack. Instead of searching for a specific “M3 Screws” label or waiting for someone to upload it, generate exactly what you need in seconds. This OpenSCAD generator creates professional, heavy-duty handle labels for every standard Packout Organizer and Tool Box size.

• 🌱 Zero-Waste Printing: No AMS? Use Press-Fit Mode to print professional two-color labels with no filament waste (no purge towers or “poop”).

• ♾️ Unlimited Icon Library: Choose from over 50 built-in trade tools, paste any Emoji, or upload your own SVG Logos.

🖨️ Printing Recommendations

• Supports: Required for both Face Up and Face Down orientations. Use Tree (Slim) supports for the best results on the latch hooks and handle clips.
• Orientation Options:
• Face Down: Best for Multi-Color (AMS). Yields a perfect plate-textured finish with zero ironing required. For Press-Fit, use a sharp point or small pick to pry support material out of the text and icon negatives before assembly.
• Face Up: Works well for both AMS and Press-Fit. Looks great printed normally!
• 💡 Optional: If you prefer a glassy-smooth finish, you can enable Ironing. Set Handle Edge Style to Chamfer and Handle Size Compensation to 0.1mm for cleaner edges! Note: Ironing works best with the Monotonic top surface pattern.
• Walls: Use 4-6 Loops for maximum clip strength.
• Wall Generator: Arachne is highly recommended for small text and icon detail.
• Bed Adhesion: Do NOT use a Raft. It will ruin the bottom surface finish which is critical for the press-fit tolerances.
• Brim: Recommended for the long clips. Use Outer Brim Only (5-10mm width, 0.15mm gap) to prevent corner lifting.

📝 Release Notes - v1.1.0
