Portable Tube with webbing loops Molle 100mm

Why I Like It

I’ll just say it: I printed ten of these. They’re on every bag I own. The 100mm tube with MOLLE webbing loops is one of those prints that sounds utilitarian and turns out to be genuinely transformative for how you organize gear. The tube body is watertight-enough for most uses, the webbing loops integrate cleanly with PALS stitching, and the size hits a sweet spot for the most common small-kit uses.

What goes in them? I run a mini fire-starting kit in one — lighter, tinder, ferro rod — all ready to pull off a pack and deploy. Another has a small trauma kit: a few gauze pads, a glove, a tourniquet cravat. One lives on my range bag with ear pro foam inserts. The point is the form factor: cylindrical, MOLLE-mounted, removable. It’s a modular pouch that costs almost nothing to print and takes minutes to swap between bags.

For materials: ASA for any tube that lives outdoors or gets exposed to sun. PETG for indoor/range bag use. 4 walls, 40% infill on the body. The webbing loops are the load-bearing point — don’t go lower than 5 walls on those sections, and print with high-temp settings to avoid layer delamination. These genuinely become indispensable once you start living with them in your kit.

What Filament Should You Use?

Here’s a quick breakdown of the three most common filaments for EDC gear so you can pick the right one for your setup:

TL;DR: Use PETG for most EDC prints — easy to work with and tough enough. Use ASA if the piece will live outdoors or in direct sunlight. Use ABS if you need maximum rigidity and heat resistance and have an enclosure on your printer.
