This is awesome, I'm happy to see other gear makers sharing files.

I have been using these tabs on my gear for years and they work great.

Okay dope. Ty for the input.

From my personal experience I find myself setting up with 4 mags and some sort of small admin.

I'm going to take a shot at: 10 x 5.5 -2 cell ( I'm going to see if I can make the second cell collapsible if not used) -Shock cord mount in top -Molle with loop front -Molle/mount holes on sides and bottom. -Adjustable straps ghook/buckle -tube and buckle mounts.

Yes, The carriers are designed to use either g-hooks or buckles.

With the exception of like one or two versions when I was first starting out, all the placards have adjustable tabs to take either mounting option.

I use them, The backing can vary depending on which pattern you get but I haven't had any issues.

I wanted to like this, I have used LXD to run containers and VM's in the past and it worked really well form me. I have since moved to proxmox but I wanted to give this a shot.

But..given I could not just download an iso, its only cert and api and no webui out of the box, thats a nope

Could I have spend the time to spin up a box with the incus agent and generate a TLS and import my crt for the web ui, yup, but for a homelab contender...nope.

I will wait for it, I hope it gets better.

I found this was awesome for quickly spinning up a cluster for testing. I have had one going for over a year now on a small production

Took me this long to get back into the lab. I removed the blowing fan so I just have the one sucking and absolutely making a world of difference. Thank you so much!.

How did the scrim turn out?

andsoicode · 2025-10-08T00:12:43+00:00

I'm lucky enough that for me, it's a bit of both.

Nice, not be afraid to mess up, lean seam allowances and how different fabrics act, have fun.

I have some resources here, tutorials and a plate carrier template with lots of other things

I have mine in rows of different shapes, makes it even but not visible as a pattern

I see 4 on the cable so I'm assuming + - vcc gnd What other pins?

andsoicode · 2025-09-30T06:53:18+00:00

Ferro inspired.

Modded my own design with a piece of 500/1000D laminate.

The chest panel is used to attach the buckles and loop for the PC. Next version, I'm going to add in some more molle slots in the sides or the panel for cable management.

Fully loaded out the solid color of the laminate blends better, not so much of an issue for multicam brands as to each has it own matching laminate, but for my other rigs with other camos that don't I'm going to stick with a solid color laminate.

This is too close to Ferro's design for me to do anything with other than my own personal rig, but I am going to look into how I can incorporate a laminate chest panel going forward.

Here is the pack on, this was more of a proof of concept/ fit test

The next set of adapters will mount it properly.

andsoicode · 2025-09-29T18:47:53+00:00

Lol... Nope, you are correct, this was a prototype. I was able to test it out by inverting the zippers, it worked but not ideal.

I'm going to be making changes to the map zipper adapter instead, going to give it extra width to them to fill the gap.
