Crafting weapons in Warframe can be a drag, especially if there are huge resource costs or worse, weapons that are used to make others. There comes extra building time as you have to make things to make another instead of target-farming specific materials.

The trick to make this easier
Since you have limited weapon slot space in Warframe (unless you buy more), there is a trick to not clutter up what you have. You can go ahead and craft all the needed weapons to create others in your Foundry but don’t claim them.
Unclaimed weapons in your Foundry do not take up weapon slots or anything. The only burden they have on you is that it does prevent you from mass-claiming all completed items. If you do that, you risk taking up a lot of weapon slots for other things.
