Round SMD organizer (customizable)
Description
Organizer for SMD components. Customizable dimensions (diameter, height, etc), layout (number of sectors and sections). Compartment dimensions are calculated to have about equal capacity (without taking wall thickness into account). Stackable. Requires round transparent cap with holes and small screw. Default settings are for 12cm transparent cd gasket (found in cd/dvd cakebox spindles or can be made from CD by removing metal layer with sticky tape) and M2 screw. There is slight height increase from center to edge, it is made for tight pressing of flexible cap. Customizable, 0.5-1mm is enough, otherwise cap can crack. Set to zero in case of rigid cap. Extra features: Calculated dimensions are printed to OpenSCAD log, can be useful for sticker drawing. Also there is simple sticker generation, set part=2 and export to DXF or SVG. It is not supported by Thingiverse Customizer, use OpenSCAD instead. Advice: do not try to fit complete E24 set in one CD-sized box. I tried, it is unusable - too small compartments. 25x4 layout seem to be most convenient for me. It takes E12 set, or half of E24 set, plus 4 spare compartments, and compartments have enough size to be usable. If you need to empty a compartment (e.g. move from one to another) - just use a magnet, most SMDs are magnetic. Try not to flip over, especially with small components like 0805 and smaller. They still can leak through tiny gaps between body and cap.
