WTB: Decent pinning tray

I've been looking online for a decent pinning tray, but most of what I've found have been kits, and downloadable files for 3D printers.
Unfortunately I don't own a 3D printer (though it's something I'm really desiring) so I have to buy something.

I don't have much niceties to trade, so I'll have to purchase. PayPal is preferred!
My policy is as always that I will pay up front, as long as communication is good.

Let me know in a PM or email (or smoke signals if that's your thing) :mrgreen:

I have a couple suggestions for you:

1) Thingverse and Shapeways will 3D print the tray, based on the files they already have or the files you upload and ship you the finished product.

2) TPS Labs has a nice tray here:

3) Sparrows released a pair that I have yet to see in person

I have the Sparrows mini pinning mats (as a part of their reload kit) and I like them. Definitely a step up from the piece of corrugated cardboard I was using :D, but they are pretty small as you can see.

They're about 5mm thick (at their thickest). I don't know about sturdy, but good enough I think. The nice thing is that tge whole kit, including the locks, fit inside the tin the kit comes in. The tweezers are too long to fit, though.

I found a few on ebay, but the price, shipping and import charges made it way to expensive.
Just placed an order with Sparrows and included the Reload kit to get the mats :)

Someone around here was makin' some beautiful wooden ones.
But I can't recall who it was or if they were selling them though. Sorry.
