Display stand for artisan caps?

[SpicyLobotomy]

I can't find anything about this on the site, but please redirect me if you know of a post that would help me. I am looking for something that can display my artisan caps, as my collection is growing and I don't necessarily want all of them on a keyboard. I have several cherry switches lying around, but I don't have a "holder" for them per-se. Short of crafting a wooden switch holder, or ordering a custom piece of acrylic to drop switches into, does anyone sell a "Cherry MX Display". I have seen the switch testers, but they don't really have enough spaces to be useful.

Signature Plastics sells a display kit: http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/inventory/modular-display-storage-kits

Modular so you can expand as you need to.

I've been looking at making myself a shadow box keycap display.  The tricky part is figuring out the lighting and how to mount them since I want them to be at an angle.  It's between trying to figure out an easy way to embed some stems in wood and making a ledge for it to rest on.

That would be pretty cool!

I currently have a friend working on 3d printing a topre display solution for me. Depending on how that turns out, I may see about an MX one after.

There are some nice display cases like this.
No stems though.

Is there any way to buy those without a proxy? Maybe I will check banggood

I've been thinking about that too lately. Best idea I could come up with is to use a white acrylic backing with switch cutouts. Then you can mount it at an angle and backlight it however you like. Another idea I had was to get rid of the backlighting and use a black background with white sides on each box. Then I'd put some sort of lighting in between each box, hopefully this would allow a bit more light to reach the top of the cap.

I was thinking of wood, routering a groove in the wood above the cap, and placing an LED strip in the recess.

scrabble letters holders yes?

I don't think they are deep enough. IIRC they are only just deep enough to hold scrabble tiles.

I'm sure someone could make that work.

I'm sure you'd get a better answer at reddit.

I kinda want a good display stand as well. I might as well use an old switch tester or something similar, as I no longer have a purpose of it other than giving it to someone.

I have the same one :D I feel like the qwerkey tester looks much nicer though, although I don't know if anyone wants to sell me theirs.

Would be neat to have a series of those as shelves, with each one having a small strip of LEDs on the bottom to illuminate the caps on the shelf below it.

It's "modded" :)

My Raven's visor isn't very tight so I've tried it in both positions but eventually stayed with the Hellboy look.
