I've got much of my stuff stored away in various plastic boxes, mostly Plano. I've spent a fair amount of energy trying to find stuff the 'fits just right'. On occasion, I'll post here some of my 'better' findings.
For now...
If you have a set of 38mm hardware, I've found that the Plano 3700 StowAway box is just PERFECT to hold a complete set (except for the
1080NS one, which I don't have anyway). This model has the insertable inserts, so that the length of each row can be subdivided. The size of each row is just about right for a 38mm casing, with or without the closures. There are four rows, and within each row you can fit a) 120NS motor and 480NS casing, b) 720 NS motor, c) 360 NS casing with forward closure and 240NS casing, and d) 600NS motor and compartment for seal disks or extra closures. I've listed the motors vs. casings intentionally, because spacing them this way makes for a 'good fit' in the box, with just enough room that you could put a layer of thin bubble-wrap if you really wanted to.For storing delays, I've begun using the Plano 3448 container, which is quite small and has 6 dedicated compartments. Each compartment will hold 4 delay elements with spacer ring. I've also generated a small 'Word' file that I print on to double-sided cardstock, then cut, and it has the delay name and what motors it is used for -- so I don't have to go looking up on any charts to find the right delay. The fact that it holds four elements tends to work out well, as the elements come in packs of 3, and if I have a leftover 'M' delay, there's space for at least one more.
If folks find this useful, I'll post more little 'discoveries' as I think of documenting them.
