IC Storage Tube with Window

thingiverse

csj2k did the work of making the very functional tube, I just wanted to be able to see the chips inside, for inventory and identification, so I put a window on it. I didn't change the end-cap/lid, just removed a 6mm strip from the top of the tubes. This is the base 100mm version, To fit in my storage trays, I scale them in my slicer to 120mm long, and setup a plate of 12 of them so I can just let the printer run for about 8 hours. I print with 1 side-wall and 4 top/bottoms zero infill. If you're looking for an IC holder that'll print in vase mode, for minimal filament use, I recently published one here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5375561 Keywords: DIP IC Tube DIP Chip Tube
