*teaser* Tube rack version 3 and advice opinions encouraged (1 Viewer)

[ProperPokerPlayer]

I'm gonna make a more elaborate post later but I am pretty excited about these developments and want some input. I have found a sleeve to go around the threaded pillar rods that I can get in mass and are uniform. This saves me a ton of printing time and makes it so I can develop clip on attachments. One seen in the second picture are the chip display holders. 43mm chips on the left 39mm chips on the right. The last picture includes some clip on deck holders and also shows that 6 16mm die can be put in the base. These will fit all u-line visapak and tubes that I sell. I am curious on other clip-ons I should consider, casino dice holder is one example I am thinking of. Also I plan on making this in the 12 rack seen below, 10 compact rectangle and an 8 rack that includes a cash bank. My original round racks don't seem too popular and the rectangle 8 rack is made redundant by the ten. Opinions encouraged

Love the clip-on accessories!

Lots of setups come with 2 decks in 1 box so maybe a holder to fit a setup vs a single deck? Could make a bridge size and a poker size if possible (not sure how much variation there is in setup box sizes). Being bigger maybe it's designed to clip onto 2 pillars instead of just 1.

Accessory holder for dealer / blind buttons of various sizes.
Accessory holder for plaques? Could be like the deck box you have but maybe a little wider.

How stable are the chip display holders? I like the idea of displaying some of the chips in the set as a reminder of what's in the tubes (especially if they aren't clear) but I'd be worried they might fall out just carrying it around. Maybe some kind of multi-display built to hold 4, 5, or 6 chips to display each denom of a set vs clipping on multiple chip display holders all over would make it look a little nicer too.

If dice fit well in the bottom, I'm not sure if you really need a separate dice holder but it could be good to have if someone has a lot of dice.

Just some ideas, hope they're helpful!

Do the clip ons fit the old pillars?

Unfortunately no. The old pillar were 3d printed and clipping things on and off would chip away at the layers. You can replace the old pillar with the new pillars but there will be a pace carved out for the old pillars. Would be functional but a little aesthetically flawed

I picked a couple up from you and they work great for what they are intended for. The only improvement that I would suggest is to put some round white stickers under the lid, or shipped loose. I put some under my tube lids for table seating locations on a secondary table.

Thanks these ideas are great and am good if to make options for all of them. The dice holder is an add for 19mm casino style dice. And the chip holders are very secure you can pick up the whole rack by the chip while it's in the holder.

Will do thanks for the input

The three types I plan to sell 12 tube 10 tube compact and 8 tube with a bank canister. I made a dealer chip holders but realized people use lots of different sizes so those will probably be print on demand. I made a 4 chip holder and you can double stack that so you can display 8 chips per side. I tried the double deck holder but because of the rope handle you need to kinda balance the load and one deck on opposing sides is gonna work best. Opinion, more clip ons I should add? Also I will make a conversation kit for people who bought early kits that I will provide for free if they buy a few clip ons.

Link below to see a little shake test to see how well the chips are held. Also 430 39mm card molded tinas loaded in the rack

Love the product. Thinking about getting a setup. What are the current v3 prices and offerings with the attachments? Do the tubes fit 43mm chips?
Thanks

10 rack with 10 tubes and enough clips to display 16 chips two decks and a dealer button (tell me the size of your button) $25+ shipping or 35$ and free shipping (CONUS).

12 rack with tubes and everything above $28+ shipping or $35 free shipping.

8 rack with the black bank tubes and everything above $25+ shipping or $35 free shipping

Yes the tubes hold 43mm chips but only 41 chips because of the lid for an extra 2$ I can make lids that will allow the tube to hold a full 43 chips that are 43mm.

One suggestion I've had is add two more pillars on the racks so more clips can be on at once. It can easily be done but will raise the price of the racks by $2 each.
Right now the 10 has 4 pillars so you could display 8 chips on one side and hold one deck and your dealer button on the other. If I add two pillars at the short ends you could put your decks on the short ends 8 chips on one side and your dealer button+ have one spare pillar on the other. You should get a dice holder or another button BB LB ALL in.
