@fig @SYLV9ST9R @peccary alright you guys forced me to take a picture to try and step back and look at my resistor drawers as if it wasn't mine, and it's awesome. sorry for the jealousy you're about to experience!

To be honest I think about doing something similar pretty often. But there is something satisfying to me about being able to keep a butt-load of resistors organized in a 6'' box as opposed to a large unit like that. I do keep my caps and just about everything else I use organized in those kinds of storage boxes.

Yeah that is definitely the annoying thing about it. The resistor drawers especially because even 200 of a value doesn't take up ANY of a divided smaller drawer like that so it always feels like it takes up more space than it needs to. If the drawers were 1/4 of the size I'd probably only need two of these units instead of the 4 I do have. A friend is supposedly 3d printing 4 way dividers for me but that was supposed to be months ago lol

Well thank you! You should see off-camera!
I had just put the cover on that pedal. Mr. Bones' Viceroy. Gonna test groove it later....
Thanks, everyone. I'm almost done with my first large parts order... a few of the (non-PedalPCB) build docs call for specific kind of capacitors (electrolytic, film, ceramic, etc.) For PedalPCB builds and general builds, which kind are most common?
Never mind - this thread from last year was just what I needed. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/capacitor-types.2378/post-18335

Hey, I was running into this issue so I decided to build a tool to help me with component ordering - https://www.pedalprojects.co.uk/
My workflow is:
1. Create a project for each PCB
2. Populate the project with parts (you only need to create each part once and they can subsequently be imported into future projects)
3. Add my stock to the inventory so I can see what have and what needs ordering
4. Create an "order project" and import the parts for multiple PCBs (I always order a bunch of stuff at a time to minimise shipping costs)
5. Use the order project to build a Mouser order - you can do some useful stuff like add a product link to each part so you don't have to go looking for it, check items off, apply filters etc.
I initially built this for myself and have found it quite useful so I hope others will too! I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I'm referring to,
All the best

Wow, incredible job on this. If it’s any use, this post of mine https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/...ter-shopping-list-generator.6669/#post-149541 has some details about my bom->shopping list generator that might be useful (you know what you’re doing way nore than I do though!!) for auto importing
