Description

This insert is designed to:

  1. Store ALL cards(sleeved*), tokens, tiles, dice, and acrylic cubes from the initial release in one small box of the base game
  2. Speed-up game setup.
  3. Keep the play area clean from the token and card clutter. It may be even cleaner with a player dashboard
  4. Make those pesky big box edition owners jealous!

Changelog

27-06-2024Added 2 smaller card trays for Spells, Abilities, Artifacts, Machines instead as an alternative to long single tray
28-04-2024

Enlarged card inserts to fit sleeved cards up to 91,3mm x 66,8mm

Added a new version of faction-cube-and-token-tray with individual lids for each slot

30-03-2024Added cutouts in map-tile-tray-right and map-tile-tray-left for easier access to map tiles

Content

INFO: There are two new alternative modules for this insert. You can print individual boxes for each deck instead of below card trays (1,2,3) and you can print new map tiles and token tray instead of this (4)

  1. spell-ability-artifact-machine-cards-tray
    Triple tray to store three core decks of this game: spells, abilities, and artifacts. It has a side pocket for storing wall cards and war machines added in the Rampart Expansion. This tray can be placed on the table and used during the game. Owners of big box editions can print and use it as well
  2. astrologers-proclaim-and-event-cards-tray
    Dual card tray for “astrologers proclaim” and event cards added in the Fortress Expansion. Also can be used on the table and designed to be stackable on top of the above tray
  3. neutral-units-bronze(silver/gold/azure)-cards-tray
    Four small single-deck card trays for each grade of neutral units. Place those trays near your battlefield for easy battle setup.
  4. map-tile-tray-left(right)
    Two twin trays to store map tiles, tokens, and other cards that do not require frequent quick access during the game (unused hero specialty cards, unused faction units, statistic cards, etc)
  5. town-heroes-tiles-tray
    Big tray for town and hero tiles.
  6. faction-cube-and-token-tray
    Narrow tray with 7 cells. Allows to place each faction cube set (20 colored cubes for each faction) together with build, recruit, and spellbook town tokens in each cell.
  7. (optional) resource-morale-token-tray and small-multipurpose-tray
    Two small trays for resource tokens and other miscellaneous items that you may have on your table. Those trays are optional and might not be needed if you play with the player dashboard. Those trays have the same size and you can place two of them in your box. You can choose one variant and print it two times.

Printing recommendations

  • The model geometry is optimized for FDM printing with a 0,4mm nozzle and 0,2mm layer height.
  • Supports are not required at all
  • Verify that your printer and filament can print within 0,2mm tolerance
  • Use any material
  • It can be printed with 0 bottom/top shell layers, 40% triangles sparse infill, and 4 wall loops
  • Add a 10mm brim to prevent corners from lifting

Notes

  • 91,3mm x 66,8mm is the maximum size of the card sleeve that will fit
  • You will need about 600g of filament to print this insert
  • This insert handles all ~700 cards in sleeves, but you must do some distribution gymnastics to store some decks. I distribute battlefield expansion cards and AI cards in multiple different card slots. But you know best how you want to play your game and can do it differently.
  • The box will close ideally flush only without rule/scenario books and battlefield. You can still store those in the same box, but you should accept that the box lid will be 1-2cm above the bottom. Alternatively, you can store all scenario books and battlefields in the Battlefield Expansion box which I actually did.

P.S You can buy me a coffee if you like this model

Hi! A quick question. I used steel armour premimum 66x91mm sleeves (standard size) for my cards. They fit nicely on the original box inserts, but I was wondering if they would fit on the space allocated for decks on your design. Thanks for the hard work and your time!

I will enlarge insert length by 1mm and reupload STLs this weekend. Currently it is what it is.

Enlarged slots for cards to 91,3mm x 66,8mm. Can't make it any larger without making major changes to the whole insert.

I've printed this box, and realized the sleeved cards don't fit at all :( I'm using Arcane Tinmen Standard (80um). Is there something that can be done...?

Ok, that is a serious oversize. It is better to find different storage solution with such sleeves.

Hello Icy, Would it be possible to add a sliding type cover to the “faction-cube-and-token-tray.stl” file so that the tokens remain stable please?

Can you describe what is the problem that you are facing with current design? I have never had any issues with anything falling out in transport or during game setup. During game setup, just cover unused faction item slots with your hand and only necessary stuff will fall out.

In fact, it's all about transport and not losing elements. I usually use covers to avoid surprises. This is what I have for MageKnight, given the quantity of material. I'm so pleased with your work that I offered you a beer, and I hope the rest of the community will congratulate you too. Well done for all your hard work.

Hey, just wanted to print that awesome insert. Now, slicing it "the spell-ability-artifact-machine-cards-tray" is to wide. Is there an option to split them in half to print it? Sorry, I'm a huge 3d printing newb and basically only know how to press the slice button and print.

Hi, you can replace those card trays with individual box for each deck which can be printed on a small build plate: https://makerworld.com/en/models/476304 And you can generate your own box if you want to have other layout: https://makerworld.com/en/models/476256

Interesting. You work is phenomenal. I have printed anything else though and it looks like I would have to redo the hole upper half as it is stored sideways. Would it be possible to just cut that tray where it looks like 2 trays are merged (large card holder next to the two smaller ones. Looks like it wouldbe stable enough. Or what would I need to have to cut the stl file at that specific point? Ut should work perfectly if it is divided there into 2 pieces.

Any chance that this could be fitted for the A1 Mini as well - like your hero board connects to the city board maybe?

Replied regarding map tiles. On A1 mini you can print https://makerworld.com/en/models/476304 . I don't know how to make insert for 192x140 town boards on A1 mini. I can make mini version of https://makerworld.com/en/models/481457 for storing hero tiles and other faction items

love you for the insert! it's amazing to have the whole game in one box! thank you for it :) one idea, maybe you will be able to fulfill another dream. could you make another box just for the heroes from all faction? or maybe just for the add-ons heroes, the base game heroes already have a good insert that it's easy to cary.

That would be great and make the entire (non-battlefield) game fit in exactly 2 boxes.

Nice. Great job. I really like the symmetrical design. Im thinking about buying a 3d printer just for this project.

Do you use it or for now this from original insert? I want to print insert with card boxes but you know what is most convenience.

I use this insert. But I replaced card trays with some card boxes (neutral units, machines, AI, events, astrologers, artifacts, abilities, spells) Other cards (statistics, hero cards, recruitable units, battlefiled) I store in map tile tray pockets.
