I’m getting to the point where I need some storage other than plastic bags for my switches and caps. I’ve seen some fancy keycap storage like these and these, and some switch storage like these.
Those seem really nice if you are displaying them, but I’m planning on just having them in a drawer somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for storing both together?
If you’re in the US pop over to Michael’s. They’ve got containers kinda like that second link. Tons of varieties. I’ve got a good handful of them I use for storing and organizing my caps. They’re cheap, Michael’s always has good sales on things, and they do the trick.
Also they are the bomb for organizing earrings. So, there’s my thoughts.
You can always get a 40% coupon in their website.
If you happen to have a 3D printer, Gridfinity would be my go-to solution. Otherwise, those Kinetic Labs containers seem like your best bet.
But but but boxes take SO long to print! (I still love making them though. Great recommendation.)
Use a 0.6mm nozzle, it’ll change your life.
0.8, my friend. It’ll change it once again. And then you’ll try 1mm and have the chunkiet, yet most beautiful, prints ever. It’s like pixelation in real life.
I’ve got a 0.8, I just haven’t tried it yet. I feel like the prints would be too imprecise for most applications though, no?
Precision is just printer tuning. What you lose is minimum outer corner radius and minimum wall thickness, in other words detail. Boxes usually don’t have much detail. A lot of functional parts work well on 0.8. 0.6 is the good set and forget size. 0.4 is if you print more intricate stuff and smaller is for really detailed prints.
