my supplier just sent this video of the sample protective case designed for the moon bars... production has started and I'll take some better photos soon - happy with the fit and if all goes well I will soon be creating cases for my older work as well  Cheesy

Not taking orders yet, but will post here or send an email when ready.

Awesome! I definitely want them for my Suite. Also want them for the rest of my bars Grin.

haha, thanks teeGUMES, you're too kind. So with the case these bars will be almost identical in size to all slabs on the market, and thus will have many attractive storage options - that's how I designed them.

To answer your question Rmcdermott927, if I'm satisfied with how these turn out, then I will make drawings for my older designs and have molds produced for them as well.

And to elaborate on my previous post, the material I'm planning on using is TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane. It's a hybrid of silicone and plastic, so it will have some elasticity to it and should be soft enough to protect the surface area of the bars.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on these silicone molds. In my research I'm finding the only risk of silicone to stainless steels and other metals lies in the curing process, and these will have cured prior to me receiving them.

I plan to encase one of my bars for a month or longer before shipping to see if I notice any issues, and will continue to monitor... so if any issues arise perhaps I can warn others in time.

For an added layer of protection, perhaps the bars can be wrapped in a layer of saran wrap prior to encapsulating?

Expect to see a finished product some time this summer. I waiting on a sample of the silicone material now.

If all goes well, I will order a similar product for my earlier pieces.

A moon bar encapsulated in one of these cases will be the same size as the slabs offered by other companies, so many storage options will then be available.

Best,

Max-

Please message me when this is complete if you plan on having ones that will fit the Original and Silver 1 BTC models.   I would be glad to pick up a few.

Well... got my pack of cases and the bar does fit surprisingly well Cheesy
Mine didn't seal all the way, but might be because the foam was a little thick.... need to resize.
Overall, pretty decent for a pre-made, non-custom capsule.

I have a few extra if anyone is interested Cheesy
Thanks

The foams a bitch, it takes some maneuvering to get it just right. It just fit snug without any foam at all right?

No Sad  there is a little wiggle room on both left and right sides, so the bar "slides" up and down in the capsule.
I imagine your "brand" was a little smaller...

MJ any concerns long term about the case causing marks on the Moon bars, say if shipping?

I personally don't think I would ship one of the moon bars in these capsules.
Not that I think it would mess it up, just that it does not fit 100%.
Would let the end-user assemble the set for display.

What I was asking, when you don’t use any foam does the capsule shut all the way? ..Unlike when you have foam inserted.

I did a check, and no, the bar sticks up just a tiny bit that does not allow 100% closure..



Sand down the face of the bar with 60 grit to make it fit in the capsule?

Well duh.... of course!!! Cheesy  Buying a larger/properly fitting capsule would be insane

Maybe I'll just take a grinding wheel to it and make it a quick job Wink

It will be very difficult to do a clean job with a grinder.  I suggest an orbital sander or a belt sander if you have one available.

I might have to borrow a belt sander. So I double checked myself and the case does not fully close whether there’s foam or not. However it is so close that I’ll absolutely still be keeping my bars in these. Also, you could easily fully seal them with transparent tape or maybe if you’re crafty even some sort of glue perhaps?

I've found that 10 oz silver bar capsules work pretty well for the new Kialara Moon bars.  If you want them snug you've gotta put some sort of insert in them.  
 

oh wow... very awesome that you found a decent capsule.
Maybe for a little more protection, cut the top piece of foam in half and use the other part for the bottom, so the bar has something to sit/rest on rather than the hard plastic.

and was this a certain brand you ordered?
I just ordered these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10oz-Silver-Bar-Direct-Fit-Air-Tite-Capsule-Holders-10-Pack/301814345743
If they fit, I will have some extras if anyone wants/needs one or a few Cheesy

I'm pretty sure I got them here as it's where I buy all my capsules - https://www.air-tites.com/5-oz-and-10-oz-silver-bar-holders.htm#.WrQ1qqjwYdU

I agree- foam on both sides would be best.  I just quickly put this together to show how well it works.  However even with out foam I don't think this plastic is all that harmful to the bars even when sliding around a little...not advocating this of course as foam on both sides is certainly best.


wow these look really cool :O

they only fit the new moon bars, right?
I can surely use some Cheesy






MJ- that would work for me!  I've seen how well the Genesis case worked out.

Sky- yup only new moons bars.  Trust me I tried with the older Kia bars a long time ago with no luck- nor with anything else for that matter.
