I am looking to get a foam set for a Pelican Storm im3300 case that I just recently won? Are there any hide vendors that sell the replacement foam or where is best place to purchase it from?

I recently bought the filler piece (pluck style) off of Amazon for $38. This was for a 1750, so not sure if they carry the 3300, but worth a look.
I went through caseclub.com and bought standard polyethylene flat foam which is thicker and better supporting than the standard case foam after goofing my cuts for the inlay. I agree with minnesotamulisha to check out amazon for the cheapest full set of original solid case foam. For the top layer, I would stray away from pick and pluck which can fall apart after heavy use.
I have checked on Amazon and can't find them for the 3300 case. I will check out B&H. I have the top and bottom layer I just need the middle layer.
Anyone plastidip their pick and pluck foam? Was thinking of trying that to hold it together better but was looking for some opinions on how well it worked first.
I believe the 1750 foam will fit if you trim off an inch or so. https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-Midd...=1518213400&sr=8-4&keywords=Pelican+1750+foam

Multiple options and you tell them the size. I believe the charcoal firm is a very close replacement

Ebay has them for the storm im3300. Full sets. Rounded corners and all.
Usually these threads have someone come in screaming to only replace with closed cell foam types for better protection.

I just ordered a set off eBay. Thanks. Now I need to find a hot wire cutter or plans on how to make one.
I tried that last weekend. It didn't turn out too well which I why I needed new foam. I even out the foam in a freezer for about an hour before hand.
I made one similar to these:

Highly recommend over the electric bread knife hack jobs.

I was under the impression you needed to cut the foam down to fit in the case. I didnt know you where talking about cutting it out for your rifle.
Nope. I needed the middle piece of foam after my failed attempt at cutting it. I started with an electric knife but ifit left too many jagged edges. A friend of mine has an old wire cutter table he fabricated years ago that I have used in the past but he is currently deployed so I can't get access to it.

I bought one of his AR10 inserts for a 1750 and we started talking about what a precision rifle insert should have slots for.
He sent me a prototype to look at. I posted a standalone thread.
They are supposed to start cutting foam for the IM33 next week.
