I made a case to protect my darts when taking them somewhere. Here are some more images. The case was made to fit a specific model and it's not very parametric till then end, so I'm afraid it's not super useful for others.

It was made in #FreeCAD 1.0 which was super smooth!

It's a good idea but I'm sceptical about anything friction to hold the darts. The problem is that they have very sharp machined rings that make them very non-slippery to the fingers. I'm pretty sure those rings would file off anything they slide against very quickly.

The steel tip does not have this problem though, so adding some part that pushes against the tip might be the solution. Alternatively, i could also make the part that houses the flights be somehow spring loaded and squeeze them.
