Dewalt Tstak 'Table top' / connector brackets

Set of designs to make a ‘table top’ or connector for on top of a DeWalt Tstak toolbox.  I used one to create a connector to hold my Ryobi Vacuum on top using https://www.printables.com/model/1044158-ryobi-link-wall-mount-single-cleat as shown in the photos.

I have printed in PLA+ and it seems to be holding up well (was initially as a prototype but has been working fine so haven't reprinted in PETG yet but would advise PETG for strength)

You will need to print 2 brackets that the tstak clips will grip onto as a minimum.

Have included designs for ‘feet’ that fit into the recesses on the top of the toolbox to help lock it in place and a spacer so thinner board is supported in the middle if necessary.

You will need to supply a board to use as the top -  MDF or Plywood works well.

NB - My photos show my Mk1 version and designs have now been updated, moving the screw positions on the brackets slightly and adding 2 screw holes to the feet to prevent spinning.

Assembly Instructions

Items to Print

• 2 x Brackets - I printed with 5 walls and 50% infill for strength
• 4 x feet
• 1x spacer (optional)

Items Required

• 12 screws for the brackets - mine were 2.5 x 10mm but I was only used 6mm board - I advise using the longest you can get away with without going through your board ;-)
• 8 screws for the feet - mine were 2.5 x 12mm - again use as long as you can
• 2 screws for spacer - mine were 2.5 x 10mm
• some double sided tape

1. Cut your board to size - 394mm wide, the depth is up to you but I cut mine to 250mm to fit my vac
2. Screw on the brackets aligning the holes with the edge of your 394mm board as indicated by the red arrows in the diagram. Suggest initially just using a couple of screws till fit is checked in step 3
3. Check that the board fits correctly and the tstak clips fit into place.
4. Remove board from toolbox.
5. Add a little double sided tape to the bottom (non countersunk) of each foot
6. Place feet, sticky tape up, in each of the indents on the top of the toolbox
7. Carefully lower board into place, press to connect tape on feet and then carefully remove taking care not to move the feet position, screw into place.
8. Check fit is still ok and then remove board again
9. Add a little double sided tape to the bottom (non countersunk)of the spacer and then place in position near the handle, tape again facing up.
10. place board back into position and press to connect spacer. Carefully remove board and screw spacer into place
