After living with tungstens scattered all over the fuselage jig table, I looked online for a decent 3D holder that would protect the sharpened electrodes and store the dead/dipped/tip-less tungstens without confusion on what is good and what is not. Nothing I found really combined ready tungsten storage with definitive 'here be dead tungstens' so I iterated through a few versions to get this one (see V1 in pic with both versions for less steady, less useful design). Holds 36 tungstens of 1/16" or 0.040"diameter and 60 or so 'needs grinding' electrodes. A couple 7" strips of 1/2" magnetic tape on bottom keep things in place on a welding table or build table. Feel free to mod as desired. PM for STL, STEP, or other format.
