Getting tired of buying custom labels for the Milwaukee packout so was thinking about just getting a printer and making my own, with a little research i know there is ton of files you can get for pretty much anything out there,
the Packout labels not so much. lots of people selling the printed ones and quite a few look the same so figure they must have bought the file from someone just can't figure out where,
i know some people do their own designs but think that will take me awhile to learn that,
So where would i find who sells the files ?
ideally just figure out how to modify the files to put whatever text is needed.

A 3D printer is used for Creating things...

For Labels I have one of these things. Seems to work good for me. All kinds of different colors. 👍🏼

Brother P-Touch Cube Label Maker, Thermal, Inkless Printer for Home & Office, Portable Lightweight, Smartphone Bluetooth Wireless Compatible, Multiple Templates for iPhone & Android, PTP300BT, White https://a.co/d/fD9i9Ia

Or...

Did you want to make those things in the pic, from scratch, with an actual 3D printer??

🤷‍♂️

You would need a printer capable of multiple colors to print those, but it is easily doable... The issue will be the file and the software to change the text or shape of the "label". The most common location where you can find stuff like that is https://www.thingiverse.com/ but there are a couple of others as well as the printer manufacturer sites. The easiest solution would be to find a vendor and ask them to print customs for you. I used to use SolidWorks at the shop but now use https://cad.onshape.com/

why not just buy the stl file? It's $1.45. Pretty easy to modify the text once you have the file. Then you can print as many as you want with what ever text you want.

Looks like people have made a lot of stuff for it. I don't have Milwaukee stuff so I can't tell what is useful or not.
