I have the Celestron eyepiece and filter set in the aluminium carry case. I have acquired a couple of extra eyepieces and there appears room in the case to cut/drill or otherwise make two extra round inserts in the foam interior. I don’t want to ‘spoil’ or make a mess of the current layout of the eyepieces – I might want to sell it on one day.
Has anyone made extra round holes in the foam for eyepieces and it so how best does one tackle the job?

Never actually tried it, but I think if you cut a cross + in the foam it should squeeze back enough to insert an eyepiece.

I found a sharp craft knife like a Stanley knife worked for me when I was cutting foam for something else.

Hate foam, prefer to make my own with foamboard from Amazon, foam loses it's shape, and the stuff in celestrons case is not block foam, take it out use foamboard, replace foam if you ever upgrade your eyepieces Attachments:

Foamboard can be cut and moved about when needed Attachments:
