Description

This is an insert for the game Age of Steam Deluxe Edition and all expansion volumes currently available (Volumes 1 to 4) including the promo action tiles.

Important:

Compatible with the 2. edition with the inner box size of 380x305x75mm.

I could not find any inserts for the newer box size so I created my own.

About the design:

Stackable trays compatible with acrylic or cardboard rail tiles
Stackable player trays in 2 versions for trains or discs as ownership tokens
Tray for excess ownership tokens if using trains
Trays to keep all map specific pieces including the promo action tiles organized separately and by expansion volume
Sorter for quick setup of production cubes. Just move the cubes around randomly until they fall into the holes. Excess can go on the little holder to the side. Then remove sorter from the board.
Labeled trays for mini chips that fit into each other to be stored with the same lid
Puerto Rico/Jamaica map can be stacked with other base game maps for perfect fit
Space for future expansions (some trays only used as spacers)

About the print profile:

Tested for PLA on P1S 0.4 Nozzle and 0.2mm Layer height
Prepared for multi color prints. Tip: If you don't have an AMS you can modify the colored label bodies to be negatives instead.
Some trays need support. Settings for support and seam position is prepared for each individual part.
Trays for rail tiles looks great with PLA Matte but PLA Basic works better with acrylic tiles because of lower friction.
Here are the colors I used for player trays:
- Red: Bambulab PLA Matte 11202 Dark Red
- Yellow: Bambulab PLA Matte 11400 Lemon Yellow
- Pink: Bambulab PLA Matte 11201 Sakura Pink
- Blue: Bambulab PLA Matte 11600 Marine Blue
- Green: Overture PLA+ Olive Green
- Grey: Bambulab PLA Basic 10103 Gray

This is my first 3d design, I hope you enjoy!

Updates:

July 1 2025:

Included new profile with tray variants.

Curves and towns&crossings rail token trays: I have modified the token well depth so that all tokens sit flush when the tray is filled. This is to make sure that no token is missing when putting everything in the box. Due to the different heights of each well, this profile has more color changes than the standard trays.

[Update 13.12.2024]

Assembly Instructions:

Start with the Box and all the maps on one side

Then add all the stacked rail tiles tray including the cover. The map tile trays go right below it in two stacks.
Stack 1: Base + Volume I + Volume II
Stack 2: Volume III + Volume IV

Add the spacer next (I put the replacement pieces in there). This will stack with the player trays.

Add all 6 player trays stacked as shown.

Cover the player trays and add the cube sorter on top of the maps.

Dice and town trays fit on top of the cube sorter.
Chip trays go as shown (here without cover).

Add the last few trays (spacers and tray for excess player discs).

Add the cube bag on top of the rail tray.

Here is where all the map tiles go in the individual volume trays.

I thought that this was a great insert ... and then the variant trays arrived and it only got better. Now I can confidently know that all the hexes are back in the box before I pack away. Brilliant design and great attention to detail.

Hi. I am super happy it worked out so well. And thank you again for the great Idea!

@Nightybla

Very Nice Design, I made a small spacer of cardboard under the whole insert, now I can transport the game and store it verticaly without messing up the player trays and train overywhere in the box. 😅

Hi @Nightybla . You are so right. I left a bit too much space between the insert and the lid. This was my first project and the inexperience shows 😅. Now that new expansions are coming out, I might revisit this and also correct this spacing issue. Happy gaming!

@Nightybla

Replying to @Anerd :

No problem was easy to see and to fix ;-)

Thank you Jovani.

@Puzz1e

I am quite new at this. I dont understand why only grey, white, and red colours are listed in the print profile when there's multiple other colours mentioned in the description. How do I know which objects need to have a different colour?

The designer has replied

@Anerd

Hi @Puzz1e . That is a very good point. I did not fully paint the parts in the profile with the colors I used in my print. This was my very first project and my mentality was to leave it up to the users to choose the colors they want. So I only differentiated the parts that can be colored by using grey, white and red. I would do it differently today. I listed all the colors I used in the bill of materials. I hope this helps and sorry for the confusion.
