Description
This is a storage system for the board game Star Trek: Captain's Chair that is designed to simplify set up time and game play. It partners with the Captain Deck and Ship Storage Boxes that I designed (https://www.printables.com/model/1314224-star-trek-captains-chair-captain-deck-and-ship-sto). The system includes:
Two player caddies, each of which holds everything a player needs aside from the Captain deck and ships: three Action tokens (isolinear chips); three Mission Completion tokens; three Specialty markers (the cubes); six Away Team tokens; one Glory token; one Dilithium; one Latinum; and Exhaust tokens for those who do not want to rotate cards sideways (I printed ten for each player using designs by Tony and GrandFather on Printables). The two caddies hold the Action tokens opposite directions so that the sloped ends of the Action tokens nest and the two caddies both fit along the short length of the box.
A remixed version of the bottom tray by CmdrS (Printables) to hold the solo bot cards, the score pad, and ship token bases.
A remixed version of the card holder by keldren (Printables) that holds all of the other non-Captain Deck cards and has a designated space for the Common Ship tokens mounted on their bases.
A Resource storage tray for the Glory, Dilithium, and Latinum tokens.
An insert that keeps the Captain's Decks in place and holds the x5 Resource tokens, the Market Strip pieces, and the remaining three Action tokens.
A platform to raise the bottom tray and player caddies / Resource token tray to the same height as the Captain Decks so that the Crew Boards can rest flat on top.

How I Designed This ===================
Remixes of the bottom tray (CmdrS) and card holder (keldren) were done using MeshMixer. The five other components were designed in Fusion 360. An image of the "Star Trek: Captain's Chair" logo was converted to black and white using Gimp and turned into an .SVG file using Inkscape. This file was then uploaded into Fusion 360 for extrusion. All components were exported as .STL files to MeshMixer.
