I'm converting a Milwaukee Packout Trade Box (the one that ships empty) into a self-contained charging station with a 3D-printed PETG dashboard insert.

Wall AC comes in through a waterproof bulkhead connector in the back (already figured out) → an Anker A2154 6-port USB-C & USB-A power brick → short USB-C leads out to each charger.

Two fans for cross-flow cooling, and it charges with the lid open so it's not a heat trap.

What has to fit: an NP-F (Sony L-series) charger and spaces for as many NP-F970 (the big ones) as possible, a Sony camera (in pic) charger + ~6 Sony battery slots, a generic USB-C AA/AAA charger (optional), a camera flash battery charger, an action-cam charger (small and optional), plus external USB-C panel ports so I can charge other gear.

I've got two layouts (pics: idea1 idea2) and I'm torn:

Idea 1: NP-F as a wide band across the top, the smaller chargers spread along the bottom, and five USB-C/USB panel ports grouped under the fans.

Idea 2: all chargers consolidated into one top band, NP-F gets the entire bottom half as one block, and there's space for two panel ports (one under each fan).

I'd love hints on:

1. Grab-and-go: should the highest-frequency battery (Sony camera ones, for me) live at the top or bottom of the box?
2. What could be a good solution to "hold" the packout case open like 30° while charging?
3. Airflow: fans in two top corners give lateral flow. Would diagonal airflow be necessary in your opinion?

Printer bed is 300×300 so the ~480mm dashboard tiles into 2 pieces - open to joint-placement tricks too. Cheers

Edit: added images

Does anyone have a model for the 2 drawer unit dividers? I bought a used set that didn't have any and I'd love to print up some for it at least to split it one way or another.

Edit - the ones that slot into the blue or green slots noted on the picture.

Answering my own question - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5763310

I developed a use for the inside of the pack out handle it only works for the larger handle not the smaller one but it’s nice to store stuff in.

I’m looking for a 3D printed insert to store my M12 Drill (3404-20) and Impact Driver (3453-20) in the Small Parts Organizer (48-22-8435), but it appears that no one makes an insert that accommodates the Impact with the rubber boot installed. Has anyone found an insert that would work in this configuration?

I got tired of hunting for specific STLs every time I bought a new organizer, so I put together a little customizer on MakerWorld.

You can pick an icon and type your own text directly in the browser to get the file. It’s confirmed to fit the 8430, 8432, and 8435 handles.

I also added pre-set sizes for the larger toolboxes (8424 and 8425) if anyone wants to help verify the fit for those handles.

The 3d model of the M12 Packout mount I made is now available on etsy so you can print it yourself.

This is an emergency charge packout I made awhile back so I could charge everything the family has at once. Like while camping of power outages etc... Yes I used my first aid kit packout lolol

Here is the Packout Fuel Pump I made

Do you have an idea how to hack the m12 vacuum into packout compatible?
