How do you guys store your PCBs?

[drgonzo1969]

I am organizing my workspace after moving apartments. I've got everything pretty much sorted out but I need to rethink storage of my ever growing collection of pcbs waiting to be built. Right now I have them loose in several jlcpcb boxes. How do you guys store your backlog of precious PCBs?

In a few shoe boxes

Binder and card sleeves. Post it’s with the name and whether I’ve ordered parts.

Works great for most 125b stuff. Bigger boards go in the pockets on the covers.

Also - glad to hear you’re settling into a new place! Last update I remember seeing, that sounded like a stressful process.

I like to print the build doc when the PCB arrives, because there's always a danger that the board will be revised before I get to it in the queue Bean archives the docs so they're easy to find, but then I get distracted and shop for more....

Great idea to print the build docs! Printing all mine up right now!

In a couple different piles around my work area that takes me 15 minutes to find that thing i just had.

This is exactly what I do, print the doc/part sheet and put it into a ziplock bag. Then the bag gets filled with pots and other parts, and the partially built board if I don't finish in one go.

Ummm, I keep mine inside finished pedals.



Just kidding, I have a sack of loose pcbs on the floor next to my bench.
