Was looking for some storage solution for the family Jenga as the box was already shredded by kids. What i found was roughly the same weight as the Jenga itself, i said No WAY!!!

Call me cheap, but i like my prints to be effective AND cost-effective, thats why im not willing to spend 250-400gr of filament for a simple storage box (with the average price of 18€/kilo it goes to about 7€ for just the material, electricity and machine time raise the base cost even more ), so i came up with this:

Advantages:

1.No supports needed 

2.Around 105 grams of filament, the rest you buy from the chinese bazar for around 5€

3.Roughly 1.5 hours of print and youre done.

4.Assembly is straightforward, no special tools needed, no screws required.

5.Files are made for both 10x3mm or 8x5mm neodymium magnets.

Assembly:

So, files are in the correct orientation already, what you need from the chinese bazar/hardware store is 12x ⌀8x310 mm wooden rods( DIY section ) and 8x 10x3mm/8x5mm neodymium magnets( office consumables ). BE CAREFUL with the polarity of the magnets once assembled, easy to confuse and once stuck with superglue, very hard to correct them, i recommend putting the magnets once the wooden rods are in place.

The base plate is mandatory accessory for the setup, it serves as a raiser for you to storage the game as well as playing it, made it wide enough to be as stable as possible, and the top-tip design is effective both in-game and cost-wise.  

Now, the logo plate:

Its a 0.4mm multicolor print, colors are up to your taste and preference.   I did it on a non-multicolor machine (Ender 3 V3 core XZ) and with the required for the task elbow grease it turned out ok. 

And last, print settings:

0.2mm height, 3 perimeters , 3/3 top/bottom layers, infill type of your choice on 10% density, PLA works just fine.

I would love to see some makes and comments . Cheers!!!
