Parkrun token sorting trays

Sorting trays for Parkruns of under 1000 runners.

Designed for Parkruns that use a two phase bucket sort system after each event. Designed for “Asia/Pasific” tokens (24.5 x 65 x 0.75 mm).

There are two sets of trays - one for each phase.

Features:

• trays slots are clearly labeled to minimize confusion 
• trays slot together for clarity 0-4 then 5-9
• trays is sized to fit a Bambu Lab 256 x 256 mm bed
• Phase One trays are sized to hold up to 350 tokens. For events larger than this just print more pairs of Phase One trays - the slot together side-to-side.
• Phase Two trays are provided for up to 1000 runners tokens

Phase One tray one has slots labeled 0-4

Phase One tray two has slots labeled 5-9

Phase Two tray one has slots labeled 001-009, 010-019, etc up to 090-099

Phase Two tray two has slots labeled 101-109, 110-119, etc up to 190-199

Phase Two tray three has slots labeled 201-209, 210-219, etc up to 290-299

and so on up to

Phase Two tray ten has slots labeled 901-909, 910-919, etc up to 990-999

Sorting process

Phase One (sort by first digit):

1. Clip the 0-4 tray to the bottom of the 5-9 tray so they number run up together. If you have more that 350 tokens then clip a second pair of trays to the side the the first pair. Add as many pairs of trays as you need.
2. Collect the randomized tokens and sort them by their least significant ("smallest") digit. Care must be taken to not read the numbers up-side-down! Some volunteers like to see how fast the can do this job - this leads to errors.

Phase Two:

1. Take all the “nine” tokens you just sorted and distribute them into the Phase Two tray slots. Scan all the placed tokens to make sure there are none missing.
2. Take all the “eight” tokens and distribute them into the Phase Two tray slots. Again -  scan all the placed tokens to make sure there are none missing.
3. Take all the “seven” tokens and distribute them into the Phase Two tray slots. Again -  scan all the placed tokens to make sure there are none missing.
   Note: at some point you may discover a “missing” token. This may be because you miss-sorted a token in Phase One, especially the “zero” tokens. The other possibility is that a token has been lost. Make a note of the missing number, then carry on, you may find it later, as you go.
4. Carry on through the sixes, fives, fours, threes, twos, ones and finally the zeros. Hopefully you found any missing tokens as you went.

Phase Three (bonus):

1. Take each group of tokens and slide them into the alcove on the right of each slot. If there are the correct number of tokens they will fit nicely into the alcove. Too many won't fit, too few will be sloppy.
2. Now load them onto your preferred token dispensing system like this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1556708-parkrun-token-dispenser
