Spaced foam or merged foam? (1 Viewer)

I think if I were to have custom foam cut, I’d definitely do spaced.
Once you merge, it kinda kills the custom vibe and just does the same as pluck foam.

First, I would put finger holes on both sides.
Second, why not put finger holes along the long edges, which then merge in to the adjacent finger holes? Sorta gives you the best of both worlds. Foam separates the racks, but all spaces marge together.

Depends on the type of foam you're using from mycasebuilder.
If using Ester Foam, which is the type of foam you most see used for Pick-n-Pluck foam, the spacing style will be worthless as the foam is soft. The areas of foam dividers will fail after minimum use. I've moved away from soft PnP type foam all together.
If using the PE Foam (Polyethylene hard cell) the spacing style works fine and will not break down over time.
I've never used the Pro Cell foam so I can;t comment.
I use spacing when storing chips without racks. When storing in racks I use the merged method, but I only use the PE Foam anymore.

I think it's sixes. If you've got room, I would space them if the case allows with what you're trying to fit. The finger grooves would make it really easy to grab the Justin style racks, and since they're lidded, there's no risk to the chips spilling as you're pulling them out of the case. If space doesn't allow, I think the merged would be fine too.
Either way, I'm envious of where you're going with this. I might have to toy around with this moving forward......

I prefer spaced. Make sure your finger holes are big enough if you are going more than 1 rack deep.

How did you specify the "top" layer of foam's color? In MyCaseBuilder's design tool i do not see the ability to do so ... so nothing other than black foam i'm guessing. Does color choice come when it's time to "pull the trigger" & you actually place your order. Is it extra?
Never had any issues, double latches on each side and they hold very strong. With 1000+ chips the weight is substantial. And with the split handle even if the latches broke the case would still not fly open while carrying (unless I let go).

Didn't cost extra, just a check box when putting in the order.

Do you mind sharing the dimensions of these chip slots? I think I'm going to be ordering something similar for my 1000 chip set (39mm Tina's)
