Wanted Chip Spacers (1 Viewer)

I figure this would be the best place to post about this since the Classifieds are the most active.

Anybody know where I can get different thickness clear chip spacers? Friend of mine has some used 05 CDI's that move a little in a Paulson rack. Prefers them to be snug. Wondering if there is a source that has a variety of options in terms of thickness.

Thanks in advance.

I do think if you are looking for specific heights and can't really find them, the easiest way is to get a 3d printer and print them yourself, those resin printers could make really clear products.

Round disks or designed to fit a certain rack?
Either way I could print them and have clear filament.

Not the height, but the thickness. They’re sold all over but I haven’t found a source that offers different thicknesses. For example, if the chips are barely worn, 1mm spacer. If they are bike tires, 1.5mm or whatever is needed to fill the space.

Might be a viable solution if I can’t find what I’m looking for. Perhaps take a caliper measurement of the gap and have them printed to fit in there perfectly?

Use something to shim the gap, like a coin, and measure the height. If you get them printed from someone, make sure you ask for a hole in the center. Reason #1, you don't need a perfectly clear filament/resin to see the face of your chips, and #2 it'll be cheaper/faster to print/less material.

20pcs 43mm x 1mm DISC print time: (3 hours, 35g material)

20pcs 43mm x 1mm DONUT print time: (1 hour, 11g material)

1/3 of the price for the same results, and possibly more desirable.

I simply cut small foam circles out of old Koozie's - works great and free

The foam compresses to fit and holds the chips securely.
