Makita MakPac Trolley

Makita MakPac Trolley

Description

Stack and clamp your **Makita MakPac** systainer boxes on this convenient **waggon** for convenient transportation and for quick rearrangements in narrow shops and build sites at any time by simply rolling them around on wheels. This model is split into **4 pieces**. The idea of this design was for the waggon to occupy as little space as possible, such that you can align multiple MakPac stacks (each on its own waggon) face to face on each side without any wasted space in between, which is unlike Makita's own trolley which occupies quite some space all around and therefore unnecessarily creates huge gaps, which also makes it harder to transport in cars and trucks. As all standard MakPac boxes, this waggon also provides **4 clamps** to firmly connect a box on the waggon as usual, and two rails to quickly align the box. The waggon was designed to be robust, so you can easily create approx. **1.40m** stacks filled with heavy tools, the waggon will stand it without cracking or bending. **Print Settings**: printed upside down, PETG material, no brim, support enabled, using manual support painting only at required locations, standard infill (15%). If you don't plan to use it outside a lot, then consider printing this model with PLA instead, because printing and removing PETG support can be tricky. **Print Costs**: all 4 pieces in together took **31 hours** to print and **940g** PETG material. **Assembly**: no glue required. All 4 pieces are simply plugged together (by model's noses) and then a bunch of **M5x50mm** screws and nuts should be inserted to reach high stability and additionally the screws will automatically align the 4 pieces to create a perfect flat surface without manual adjustments of the printed pieces. Finally four **75mm** wheels are mounted to the model. You can get them at hardware stores for 5 bucks each. On the photo I shot the first waggon printed which had simple wheels without stop mechanics. I would recommend buying wheels with stops instead (plus 2 bucks more per wheel) such that you can safely park the waggon at uneven locations as well. All subsequent waggons I printed and assembled all have wheels with stops, trust me, it's worth it! **Notes**: the two back parts will raise “**non-manifold**” warnings when importing them into the slicer. I didn't bother to fix this issue in the model as for my slicer it created no problem whatsoever. As for the four black clamps on the photo: I haven't provided it as file here, because I simply printed someone else's Makita MakPac clamp. I try to find out which one I downloaded exactly and will provide a link eventually.
