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. 

Important Notes:

  • My prints take a lot of time to print. Why? First of all, to save filament, electricity price is much lower than filament price (at least in my country). Second of all - total weight, if it's to high it can damage the box and our spines :D + weight also influence vertical storage, box can open by itself,

  • Clearence for holder covers is very small - 0.2mm horizontal, make sure that you have calibrated printer. In worst case - you could add like 0.2-0.4mm to cover width in the slicer,

  • This is a 2 box storage solution. That way, if someone has only base game + promos - everything can be stored in base game box. Patrons set mini expansion unfortunately won't fit in base game box (at least there is no designated space for it, but there is a bit space to have them loose in the box), 

  • In base game box all promos are stored + common content from all expansions (like experiments, contracts, action tiles, setup cards, milestone tiles, nucleum, power plant, player aids). Additionally all player related components from all expansions can be stored in the player holders. Expansion boards and new tokens from the expansions + patrons set are stored in 2nd box,

  • There is one major drawback - box is very small, so there is little to none margin in player component holder, coin + uranium holder and achievement tokens holder.

    • Cardboard coins fit barely, it's very hard to close the lid with them. Metal coins are smaller, so they fit without issues. If you have cardboard coins and expansion - you could use Expansion_Holder to store some / all coins. If you don't have the expansion - I think better option here would be a plastic bag,

    • Cardboard achievement tokens - here situation is a bit better, it's a bit fiddly to fit them, but it's a matter of seconds to close the lid, not matter of minutes to reorganize the tokens like with cardboard coins. But it's not ideal, best option would be to replace them with smaller star tokens,

    • Player wooden components (like workers, boats etc.) - everything fits without issues, although it's also tight,
  • Please be very careful during experiment dashboard assembly, it's tight (and it's meant to be), so it's easy to damage the board, just slide the board slowly, make sure that each board “strip” is under the hook. Also - you don't need to slide them from the beginning, you can put the board in the middle (or more like - close to the end, next to the last pair of "hooks", just make sure that the board is under the bottom right "hook"). Slide the board only by 2mm at a time, when board “strips” encounter first hook - slide them over it, you need to slide them under last hook only. There are slight differences between all boards, so if you can't slide them in - try to squeeze the board in the fingers first (to get rid of air and moisture).

Supports:

  • vertical storage,

  • sleeves 70 micron,

  • Australia expansion - common content fits in base box, new in 2nd box,

  • Court of Progress expansion - common content fits in base box, new in 2nd box,

  • Patrons Set mini expansion - fits in 2nd box, it could fit loose in base box,

  • metal coins - they fit much better than the cardboard ones in base box,

  • Acrylic Nucleums, Half Tiles, Neons, New Contracts promos - they fit in base box.

This insert features:

  • Player_Components_Holder - holds everything related to the player, including components from expansions / promos,

  • Experiment_Dashboard - holds experiment dashboard + technology tiles related to that experiment, you can slide them during the game,

  • Coins_Uranium_Holder - holds coins and uranium. It's very hard to fit cardboard coins, so if you don't have metal coins and expansions - it's better to omit this model and keep uranium and coins in plastic bag,

  • Achievement_Tokens_Holder - holds achievement tokens. Cardboard tokens fit, it's a tight fit, but it's a matter of seconds to close the lid. Best option here would be to buy / print stars,

  • Contracts_Holder - fits all contracts, including expansions and promos,

  • Setup_Holder - holds action tiles, nucleum, power plants, technologies action, special tiles, rubble tiles, setup cards, milestone tiles, coal import tiles, neutral urban building tiles, turbine tiles. From base game, promos and expansions,

  • Cards_Patrons_Holder - goes into 2nd box, stores patrons cards and rulebook,

  • Expansion_Holder_x2 - goes into 2nd box, in one holder you can store neutral boats, neutral politicians, coal mine tiles and some smaller boards from expansion. You could omit 2nd holder or print it for achievement tokens / coins - if you have cardboard ones it could be better to store some of them here,

  • Setup_Holder__Action_Tile_Filler - if you don't have expansions you may want to print this, 4 walls, no top bottom, honeycomb 10% infill. You will need to scale it vertically to fit your needs, it may be necessary for filling the space for experiment action tiles from 2nd expansion and / or separating them.

Requirements:

  • about 622g for ALL IN (it can be lowered if you don't want to print 2 expansion holders), 510g for base game + promos (depends on your settings, I printed with 15% gyroid infill, 2 walls, 5 top and 3 bottom layers), 

  • at least 242mm x 242mm print bed (experiment dashboard rotated 45deg).

Instructions:

Supports - no supports required.

  • every file ended with xX (for example x16) - print X times (in given example - 16 times). 

What future holds :

  • If there will be a new expansion I may update it, there is some space left in 2nd box, but in base box there is none, so if 3rd expansion comes with new board - it may be impossible to fit everything in 2 boxes. I hope that if it comes - it will come with big box, if not I'm not sure yet if I will buy it - I don't want to have 3 boxes on the shelf. 

Enjoy!
