I’d love to better organize and protect my sons (at least I tell myself they are his…) X-Wing miniatures with foam like this. Looks just like pluck foam without being pre-cut.
I think the EVA foam will work great for tools but I’m concerned that it is too dense/firm for this purpose. @jbpa if you do end up using EVA for x-wing please post your results, will be very curious to see how it goes.
You may be correct, but I currently have a lot of my ships in 3D printed holders, which are definitely more dense/firm than the EVA foam. I was thinking EVA simply because it is easy to get, and lasers cleanly. There are other foams that I was looking at as well. When I have a chance to test, I will share my results.
Thanks. I might be over thinking it. Right now all of our ships are on display, but it’s time to rotate them out. This will be the first time they are stored in anything beyond the packaging we bought them in. Will watch for what you come up with.
Contact Peter at Carolina Custom Foam. He may have the product you are looking for. I use his foam for CNC projects, but he is creating laser projects with his foam. Really nice guy and has the MSDS sheet if you ask. I’ve looked it over but have little to no experience to provide any suggestion. Good luck.
