I went to go download a 68040 storage tray, but the model is now gone from Thingiverse
So, I decided to start another one, based on a tiny thumbnail of the image:
Measured one of my CPUs and have it a smidge of wiggle room, which proved to be just enough:
Printed this first draft to even make sure a 68040 will fit in it properly:
Seems to work:
There's a pleasant small snapping into place for a decent hold. I'll need to print another one and possibly refine the nested legs so they can stack/act like a lid, just in case.
The pins are surrounded but not compressed at all, allowing for multiple layers to stack without touching at all.
I wanted this as an alternative to foam pieces where the pins just get bent anyway... It'll still need to be stored in ESD protective bags, obviously, but it's a decent storage solution, I think.
Once I test and work out the kinks I'll post an STL or Thingiverse link. I thought about trimming it up a touch, but at only 20 g of material at 30% infill and minimal supports, I don't want to make it weaker, so input is welcome.
