I am up to 88 floppy disks, all of which fired. The delivery of the piece now needs to take precedence over continued production.
The floppy's need to be separated with some sort of spacer as some are slightly bowed/not exact.
Stacked using clear silicone drawer and door closures (with self adhesive), 10 floppy's = 79mm. 1423 (0.22 to be counted as 1) stacked using clear silicone closures = approx 11,242cm (11.25m).
Stacked using adhesive backed magnetic disks (with self adhesive), 10 floppy's = 63mm. 1423 stacked using magnetic disks = approx 8,949cm (9m).
Stacked using 13mm did x 3mm thick round felt pads (with self adhesive), 10 floppy's = 54mm. 1423 stacked using felt pads = approx 7,684cm (7.68m).
Stacked using capacity clear 3.5" disk cases/mailers, 10 floppy's = 85mm. 1423 stacked using disk cases = approx 12,095cm (12.1m).
I tried using 3/4 inch plastic washers, thinking that a larger surface area [spacer] would allow for improved balance, but there wasn't enough give to allow for the inconsistencies between the disks. I also think I'm going to need to use a spacer that has an adhesive, for stability.
