AverageNobody Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I've been looking for a simple way to make my pouches more functional. I tried hollowing out some foam inserts, and the pouches looked great empty... but the weight of my phone, keys, wallet, etc made the bottom sag unevenly. After searching around a bit, I found these small boxes . They fit perfectly inside the pouches, and for those who don't want hard edges, there's easily enough room to wrap the boxes in fabric or foam so the pouches will still look and feel soft. I'm probably gonna cut one side open so I don't have to take the boxes out every time I need access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0CKSTER Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I’m currently making my pouches at the moment but the insert I’m using is a 3D printed rectangular prism proportionate to the size of the pouches, using a file given to me by Mr Poopy. Obviously this relies on owning your own 3D printer but if you do I’d strongly encourage going down this path as the plastic is purpose fit/shaped and is pretty light. It gives the pouches a nice shape too with nice soft looking edges.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageNobody Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Yeah I came across his files while looking for options, so I'll probably make them when I get access to a 3D printer again. For now, the boxes will be my quick and dirty solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFWayne Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 While I am just now starting to work on a scout trooper I am part of the mando mercs. I have similar pouches on my mando kit. I use nesquik containers to keep the form. i painted them so the yellow doesnt show through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
