SIZE MATTERS: The Black Edition Powerhouse 🦍💥

More Room. Better Organization. No Compromises. The Black Edition (BE) is engineered to dominate the Tango lineup. It isn't just an upgrade—it’s a specialized high-capacity system that delivers a massive 73% more storage volume than the 'Commander' to handle your most demanding EDC setups with ease!

The Organizer Upgrade 🎖️⬛

The Black Edition is the definitive choice for users who need superior internal management. It’s not just a larger container; it’s a complete tactical kit. This version comes with two distinct lid styles and my innovative dual-chamber TPU inlay , specifically designed to silence and separate your gear.

- Dual-Chamber TPU Inlay: Protects your essentials from impact and rattling while creating a dedicated "Quick Access" zone for slim items like zip ties or emergency supplies. 🩹✂️ - Dual Lid System: The BE kit includes both the rugged Lid A (Lanyard) for external attachment and the sleek Lid B (Flat) for a low-profile, streamlined carry. - ColorCode Identification System

- Every "Tango" container features a precision-engineered groove on the exterior. - Visual Indexing: Snap on a 3D-printed TPU Color Ring to identify contents at a glance (e.g., Red for Medical, Blue for Tech, Green for Survival). 🌈 - Tactical Grip: The TPU ring adds an extra layer of non-slip texture for operation in wet conditions. 🧤✨ - Customizable: Swap colors anytime to adapt to your changing mission requirements. 📏 The Special Edition: Black Edition (BE) 🦍

- Exterior (Lid A): 56.78 mm Ø × 176.33 mm H (~2.24" × 6.94") - Exterior (Lid B): 56.78 mm Ø × 158.35 mm H (~2.24" × 6.23") - Interior (Raw): 37.13 mm Ø × 148.51 mm H (~1.46" × 5.85") - Volume: ~160.7 ml (5.43 fl oz) – A massive 73% increase compared to "The Commander"! 🚀📈 - Ideal for: Extensive fire-starting kits, bundled cable management, large multi-tools with bit-kits, or technical maintenance supplies. ✨ Key Features

- 💧 Waterproof & Dustproof: High-precision threads combined with a custom TPU Lid Gasket . - 🛡️ Anti-Rattle & Organize: The TPU inlay prevents gear from clanking while keeping small essentials (like zip ties) separated for fast retrieval. - 🌈 ColorCode Ready: Includes separate STLs for the identification rings. - 🏗️ No-Support Design: Engineered for a flawless, support-free printing experience. * (Lid A (Lanyard): Requires "Support on build plate only". Because it is printed at an angle/curve relative to the build plate, a small amount of support is necessary to ensure a clean finish for structure.

🌈 Suggested Color-Code Guide

Maximize your efficiency! Use the interchangeable TPU rings to identify your gear at a single glance without opening the container:

- 🔴 Red: Emergency Medical Supplies / First Aid Kit / Meds 💊 - 🔵 Blue: Batteries / Charging Cables / Spare Tech Parts 🔋 - 🟢 Green: Fire Starting Kit / Tinder / Survival Gear 🔥 - 🟡 Yellow: Small Tools / Screws / Repair Kits 🛠️ - ⚪ White: Hygiene Products / Water Purification Tablets 💧 - 🟠 Orange: High-Visibility / Emergency Signal Gear 🆘 Pro Tip: Print a small stash of different colored rings to stay flexible as your loadout changes! 🔄✨

⚙️ Print Settings

- Container & Lid: PETG  (recommended for outdoor/tactical use). - Gaskets & ColorCode Rings: TPU (95A or softer). - Walls: 3–4 Wall Loops for maximum durability. - Wall Order: Inner/Outer (Critical for thread precision!). - Layer Height: 0.16 mm . - Infill: 15–20% (Cross Hatch). 📂 Smart Profile Organization: > I have divided all the parts among 6 plates:

- Container (Rigid) - Lid B (Rigid) - Lid A (Rigid) - Inlay (TPU) - Gasket (TPU) - ColorCode Ring (TPU) This allows you to easily select the right material for each part and swap colors for your identification rings without any mess! 🛠️✨ 💡 Assembly Tip

Slide the ColorCode Ring from the bottom until it snaps into the groove. For 100% water tightness, ensure the TPU gasket is seated flat in the lid. A tiny drop of silicone grease on the threads will make the operation buttery smooth! 🧈✨

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Waterproofing Disclaimer

While the HELiX Tactical - "Tango" is designed to be waterproof with the included TPU gasket, the final result depends entirely on your print quality, material choice, and assembly.

- Test before use: Always perform a "dry run" (submerge the empty container in a bowl of water for 30 minutes) before trusting it with expensive electronics or critical medication. 🧪💧 - Maintenance: Ensure the TPU seal is clean and free of debris. A tiny bit of silicone grease on the seal and threads is highly recommended for long-term reliability. - Liability: I am not responsible for any damage to your gear. Use at your own risk! 🛡️⚖️
