Hello,
for those that don't know my ‘insert philosophy’ - I am creating modular inserts that are focused on reducing setup and space on table, filament consumption is not my highest priority, but of course I'm trying to save some material where I can.
Update 02.06.2024 - version 2.0:
- major redesign, all files replaced with new ones. Old files are in Version 1 folder. I decided to go a different route this time. My old design had terrible teardown, it was very hard to fit everything back to the box because of multiple small holders. This time I wanted to combine as much holders as I can to improve teardown but of course - not at the cost of functionality or setup,
- 25 models resulting in 29 parts in old design vs 12 models resulting in 12 parts. That's more than 2x less things to print and organize in the box,
- new required build plate is 216x159 (209x159 if you rotate Tiles_Sites_Guardian_Holder),
- with my version there was a major problem - it didn't support thicker cardboard, I made sure that it will support (comparing to 1st version):
- fear/multiplier - will hold 1 more, more can be stored in the same holder with coins / compasses,
- rival tiles - will hold 1 more,
- leader, blocking tokens - they're loose in one of the holders, so plenty of space,
- guardian and site 1, 2 tiles - will hold around 2-3 more tiles of each,
- research, idol tokens - space for around 2-3 more of each,
- blocking tokens - they're loose in one of the holders, so plenty of space,
- temple tiles - around half of token more space,
- assistants - unfortunately I didn't have space to enlarge it, it's the same size as the one from the 1st version. Tokens that not fit can be stored however in Leaders_Other_Cards_Holder.
- around 520g on my current settings needed for 1st version vs 430g for 2nd version. 90g lighter! Maybe that's not massive reduction, but significant,
- no lid lift - it can be present if you have thicker cardboard (map, leader boards), but if you have the same cardboard thickness as I - no lid lift! Better to store it between other boardgames vertically, because it can open a little (5-10mm),
- updated description and images,
I was not 100% happy with the first design because of terrible box organization - it was very hard to fit everything back to the box. This was 100% eliminated in the 2nd version and teardown is now a breeze.
Important Notes:
- Clearence for holder covers is very small - 0.2mm horizontal. Please print the smallest holder and cover for it to check if it fits, if not you may need to calibrate printer or enlarge cover a bit (adding 0.2-0.4mm to the width in the slicer should be enough),
- card holders - they're very tight, so in order to put all cards you may need to squeeze them in, just put most of the cards in and when you have trouble adding more - one side of the holder (front one) is shorter, so you can put cards on top of the cards that are in the holder, squeeze them a little and then you will be able to fit all cards.
- it doesn't support promo cards although you can just scale it a little (probably like 0.5-0.8mm for each card), but beware that there could be a lid lift then.
Supports:
- vertical storage - preferably between other board games because it can open a little (like 5-10mm),
- Expedition Leaders expansion,
- The Missing Expedition expansion,
- custom moon staffs, research tokens,
- should support meeple stickers and possibly custom meeples / minis,
- custom coins, compasses,
- sleeves - this is mainly design for 70 microns sleeves (I use Sloyca). Card holders are pretty tight, so you won't be able to squezze thicker sleeves.
This insert features:
- temple tiles holder - adjust tiles count according to player count and put on the whole holder on the board,
- site, guardian tiles and assitants holder - take them out and put it on the table,
- one giant holder for coins, compasses, resources - take it out and put on the board,
- fear, items, artifacts cards holders - take it out and put them on the board,
- 2 setup holders - Idols_Research_Rival_Holder which holds also custom moon staffs and leader round tokens and Leaders_Other_Cards_Holder which holds all leader tokens + all other cards.
Requirements:
- about 430g filament needed, (depends on your settings, I printed with 15% gyroid infill, 2 walls, 5 top and 3 bottom layers),
- at least 216mm x 159mm print bed for core (209mm if you rotate Tiles_Sites_Guardian_Holder).
Instructions:
Supports - no supports required.
- every file ended with xX (for example x16) - print X times (in given example - 16 times),
- refer to pictures how to organize the box.
What future holds:
- This insert is done, I'm very happy with it and I am not planning to update it, but who knows ;)
Enjoy!
