Jimmy,

I do *not* recommend using styrofoam.  It can generate a lot of static.
If you have some of the black anti-static foam, that is OK.
With the K3S, there are no leaded parts, so there are no leads to stick 
into the block anyway.

It works super for capacitors, resistors and similarly shaped parts. It’s a bit tedious to put the parts into the foam block one by one, but it makes identifying and selecting them for installation so much easier during kit construction. Also, they don’t fall out easily.
