Where to buy small cases for 1.25" filters

[Shimrod]

I have bought a couple of Baader 1.25" filters recently, and they have both turned up in 65mm x 65mm cases. These take up too much space in my equipment case and I am trying to find smaller cases without success. Anyone have any suggestions? I would prefer individual cases for the filters rather than a case that holds several at once.

thanks

Have a look at plastic coin cases on that well known site.

Or 3D print a small case.

Opticstar do a couple of different sizes, available from their own website (I can't find these on there!😡) or fleabay. I have used them several times and they normally give very quick service. Their website is however, to put it politely 'confusing'.

I saw these from Opticstar when I was looking, but I only want 4 or 5 - they only seem to sell in bulk!

I’ve just received the baader neodymium filter and have the same problem. The box for it is far too big for my equipment case for such a small thing. Hoping this message serves as a bump and if I find any solutions I’ll let you know

Hi Shimrod,

perhaps plastic packing boxes for machine tools are an option? They are available in many sizes.
