Sling enclosures

[Kymura]

Trading card enclosures -been thinking about these for a while. Finally ordered five of them.
Rough measurements are slightly less then 3X4X2 inches. Plenty of space for the smaller guys. Ten bucks shipped for five of them.

Awesome idea

 

[Kymura]

Thanks Scoolman, been thinking about it for a while and saw one at the flea market so got a better idea of size. Price is right as well.

Hmm, haven't seen those. Perfect for baby scorps too..where did you order those from Kymura?

 

[Kymura]

Got mine off eBay (new) but amazon has them as well

No problem. They do make larger ones so check around. EBay is just easy for me as my car died lol

Just poke a few tiny holes on the top I'm guessing?

Going to use my soldering iron on them and make a bit of cross ventilation. Doing three up for terrestrial and a couple for arboreal. Figure I can reuse them so I'm hoping they will be good for a long while

I have a pretty large collection of baseball/football cards so I'm sure I have a few of these cases lying around. Thanks for the idea! I can now put them to use.

Mine aren't here yet but I'll post images of them done. Do the same please!
Thought about drilling but they are thin and I don't want to crack them. So I'm melting my holes then running them through the dishwasher.

Drilling would be fine. Use a metal working drill bit (woodworking bits are usually more dull and tend to splinter/crack plastic and acryllic) Put a block of wood inside to drill against and watch your fingers My concern with these is that clasp. In my experience after a few uses they don't hold anymore. Hopefully these are better quality than what i used years ago for my card collections.

I'm excited to see what you do with these and how that clasp holds up.

 

[Kymura]

Not honestly sure the clasp will hold up. Small matter to glue a mini hasp on there tho is where my mind went with that. Checked around they'll run me.just over a dollar each for them.

Great idea! should be easy to cut/grind the plastic clasp off with a dremel or knife and emery board.

That's what I figured hun. Ten bucks for five little enclosures is a win win

 

[Kymura]

Well two came broken. No surprise box was crushed. Went ahead and made up one for my Nhandu chromatus though
Ghoul seems to like it so far ignore the messy desk, just made it and took the pictures.
