Description
Stop struggling with messy board game boxes!
This fully parametric generator allows you to create professional-grade, custom-fit inserts and lids for any game in your collection.
Whether you need a simple token box or a complex multi-compartment organizer for games like Carcassonne, Splendor, Trudvang Legends, HeroQuest, or Boss Monster, this script handles the math for you.
🚀 Key Features
- Smart Auto-Packing: Uses a shelf-packing algorithm to automatically determine the smallest possible box size for your components.
- Fully Customizable: Define your compartments by simply entering a list of dimensions as a string.
- Print-Ready Lid: Generates a perfectly fitted lid with customizable text (embossed or engraved).
- Quality of Life Details:
- Finger Cutouts: Easy-access side notches to help grab stacks of cards or tiles.
- Side Token Cutouts: Low-profile side openings to slide out tiles or tokens easily.
- Thumb Notch: Optional small notch to make opening the lid even easier.
- Rounded Corners: Vertical fillets for stronger structural integrity and a premium look/feel.
- Optimized for FDM: Designed to be printed without supports.
🛠 How to Use
