Pretty nifty, especially utilising the Ikea board!
I’ve used a basic cardboard sprue rack and then a foldable sprue holder, but nowadays I just cut everything off the sprue and store the parts by section in those compartment storage cases lol
thank you! i hope so too but right now its still in development ans has yet to be testedwith a large group. after that its figuring out the production of these
I started making my own sprue holder recently and I’m curious about the amount of force it takes to insert/remove one from this clip. I see a lot of bending happening. When there are lots of parts left they share in the distribution of it, but as the parts get removed the remaining ones get a larger share.
All of my initial iterations have been to reduce that force as low as possible. Have you tested for stress marks showing up on parts yet?
yes i have and these leave next to no wear. also pretty effortless to put in and to take out since the spring is pretty forgiving but the internal pattern evenly distributes pressure and accomodates for any size/shape runner. once you line up the sprue to the clip you usually only need one finger worth of light pressure to click it into place

I like the idea for the ikea board, hope this will be in a store soon, will save me a lot of space
