36mm chips - racks/boxes/storage available??? (1 Viewer)

[Gavin]

Quick question: are there any type of boxes (warneke-like), or racks, or some other storage items specifically for 36mm chips?

I know they fit regular 39mm boxes/racks/etc, but I'd really like to take advantage of their smaller size.
Especially when travelling with a set (like, overseas), where smaller is actually better (size and weight) ...

Anyone?

I did use this “bin” I purchased at The Container Store for my overseas trip. Worked well enough and held 320 chips.

But… looking for other options…

Anyone else?

I know the 3d printer vendor guy had them for sale. But, he had sme issues and has disappeared. I’m sure @Sparkynutz could print something for you. No off the shelf racks I’m aware of.

Easy enough. What's desired rack size?
another option is coin storage tubes or maybe even paper rolls if trying to save weight and only using them for travel infrequently.

Lastly. Probably wouldn't be that hard to take a warneke box and just scale it down. Make a printed scaled down pattern of it at staples or office supply place on thick card stock and cut/bend where needed.

This is the most compact that I have seen, I would be interested in 2 or 3. What is the container marketed as? Ie product type name category....were I to search for something similar in let's say....Canada.

Thanks

I think this is it: https://www.containerstore.com/s/office/craft-hobby/tarnish-inhibitor-cases/12d?productId=10028032

I ended up shaving off the molded parts with an exact knife where you slide the dividers in:

If you get these, let me know how it goes…

Really like the idea of a “custom Warneke” box…. Might have to investigate that option…

Thanx!
