What is this piece of plastic? Found in my Domino systainer

[johnsayen]

Hello,

I found this in my domino systainer - looked and looked at the domino and accessories to see if I could identify where it might have came from or broken off, but I have not been able to identify it. Any ideas? Pictured on a 6x40 for scale.

Thank you.

Not in from of mine but looks like the piece that goes in the end of the fence slide?

Not sure either but might be a cap on a corner piece of a fence

It's the cap/plug that goes on the top if the slide. They come off easily. I think it's a game – if you still have both of them after wearing out one of your Domino cutters you get a free box of Domino tenons in that size (broken cutters don't count). But I can't remember where I read that...

Though not what they're designed for, the plastic caps are useful when mounting and using the machine in an upside-down fashion.

Mike is correct. And, they are made from disapperium. They are made so they fall off the machine when no one is watching and become invisible.

Thanks all, can confirm that was it.

Got a picture of this? I can’t picture it.

I came across two videos in which the machine was used upside down. Here's one that I could still find:

Yeah, cap to the slide. One of them came off of the first DF500 I had. It took a few months though. A little drop of CA glue fixed it right up. The other side stayed on fine for years before being destroyed in a fire. Neither of the ones has come off of my new one. I got it in Sept of 18 and it has gone through more than 3000 6mm Dominos. Apparently they have figured it out.
