SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Darts or Flexibox is a compact organization and storage system for dart players with a practical rotating mechanism.
IDEA & VARIANTS
The idea was to create a compact system suitable for darts, soft darts, shafts, flights, points and tools, and where the decks, which are only 8 mm narrow, can be combined in any way.
There are over 10 different decks that can be arranged in any combination of 3, 4 or a maximum of 5 and finished off with a lid. A badge is pressed into the lid, which can also be a pointsafer. Little extra: If you put the box upright, it serves as a dart stand for a set of mounted darts.
The lid has a small hole in the bottom left as well as the top right, for example, to attach smaller 8-10 mm key rings with carabiner.
** Note
The only deck that is 28mm high instead of only 8mm high is deck NR.06 for stock flight systems like LStyle, Condor Axe, Cosmo. This high deck can be usefully combined with 2 narrow, maximum 3 narrow decks! Otherwise you can combine all narrow decks in 2, 3, 4 up to a maximum of 5 decks. To connect the decks, you need additional parts as listed below.

ASSEMBLY - ASSEMBLY
Small neodymium magnets go into decks with 5mm round cutouts. Possibly glue them in with 1 drop of modeling glue or super glue if they are too loose.
As described above, the decks can be stacked on top of each other and connected by sliding an M4 hex nut into the lowest one. Into the top of the deck goes a washer, snap ring and then the appropriate length M4 pan head screw (zinc plated or stainless steel). Then screw until you see that the screw goes into the hex nut. Remove any filament residues or threads beforehand. Now tighten more carefully! You can adjust the turning mechanism to make it lighter or heavier. But always only half a turn and then test the decks.
