What's everyone's thoughts on putting toolgrid inside a packout tool box? I know some socket holders are twist lock, but are plier/driver/wrench holders strong enough to keep it from becoming a mess?

First off it's FREE.

I started an unsuccessful 3D print farm, and now have a ton of filament. I also took a programming class and decided to make a filament inventory management system, then vibe coded a https face to the java backend.

It’s a local-first filament inventory app for a home 3D-printing workshop. A Windows PC owns the SQLite database and label photos, while a phone on the same trusted Wi-Fi can pair with the PC and work as a mobile inventory screen and barcode scanner. There’s no cloud account, and the inventory stays on the PC.

Right now it can:

- Track brand, material, color, quantity, location, price, notes, and remaining weight

- Scan or photograph UPC/EAN labels from a phone (This still needs some work to operate at 100%)

- Look up known products using the Open Filament Database catalog (SKUs aren't complete, and have some issues finding them, could use some advice)

- Add, search, sort, and replenish stock from desktop or mobile

- Record manual filament usage

- Import OrcaSlicer filament usage and apply it after a print is confirmed

- Export and merge JSON backups, including saved label photos

It’s currently a **Windows-focused private beta** and still requires a recent Node.js version, so this is an early project rather than a polished installer. The software is proprietary, but I made the project page public so people can see what it does and follow its progress:

I’d especially like feedback from people with larger filament collections: what would make this genuinely useful in your shop? Better barcode coverage, multi-printer support, low-stock alerts, spool weighing, or something else?

I joined two 3d models to make a dewalt cleat, I haven't seen anyone do it yet.

I made a Packout Cleat Strap for securing random objects. The strap has some stretch and works pretty good! I am also looking for new ideas, so feel free to IM me.

Here is my etsy link if you want one for yourself! 1 for $20, or 2 for $30.

I bought the Quinn sockets with the 30% off and then made a packout organizer... I think they are the same size as Pittsburgh pro. What's the best sockets for the money?
