Eyepiece (other bits) case

[SteveT]

Hi, where do you guys buy your eyepiece and other accessories cases from, you know, the aluminium ones with foam inside which you cut away to fit each item in?

Thanks

I've seen a lot of people here talk about this one:

alot of the guys get them from maplins. but i bagged a makita drill case from flea bay for a tenner, and foam for about 4 quid. its rugged as its built for heavy equipment to be chucked about by hairy builders.

They were only £24.99 the other week when I got mine...

Keep an eye out for their sales [if you can wait that long tho]

Hmmm, now there's a thought Rory, i have a load of Drill/Router boxes in my workshop, they will never get the tools back in there....photo will follow when i have tracked down some foam....

I have a couple of these: http://www.maplin.co.uk/rugged-case-large-225744

I bought them when they were on offer for £20 each.

Might take a trip to Maplins tomorrow then to see what they have, thanks for the tip.

yeah, alot of those tool cases are very robust. i grabbed some foam 40mm thick off the bay for a fiver. im sure theres other places to get some though.

I too have a surplus of drill cases. just wondering, is there any specific type of foam that should be used for this?

I used the aluminium case and foam that my Wahl hair clippers came supplied with.

Yep the £19 one from Maplins is brilliant and quite roomy too.

i dont believe so. theres pluck foam,thats easy to rip out bits to make the right shape for a particular item. but i just simply measured the thickness of the inside depth of the makita case and went from there. 40mm thick was plenty for me.

something like this .http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50mm-Camera-Case-Foam-Camcorder-Case-Foam-Packaging-/370610235616?pt=UK_Camera_Cases_Bags_Covers&hash=item564a1768e0

I got mine off Ebay - think it was just over £30 but its got everything I need in it apart from Coffee and Books which I bring in my rucksack - really good buy.
