It's a Wonderful World + Corruption and Ascension Organizer

An organizer for the board game It's a Wonderful World with its Corruption and Ascension expansion, all in the original box with the original cardboard insert. There's a number of other 3D-printed organizers out there, but none of them met all of the requirements of what I wanted:

• Uses the original cardboard insert

• For the base game + Corruption and Ascension only

• In the base game box

• No supports, easy to print

• Big enough bowls/trays for the cubes without required lids that get stuck

You'll want to print:

• Cube Tray: 5x (grey, black, green, yellow, blue)

• Point Tray: 3x (orange, red, blue)

• Hex Point Tray: 2x (orange, blue)

• Card Tray A: 1x

• Card Tray B: 2x

• Card Tray C: 1x

Besides the (optional) colors mentioned above, I recommend printing a "band" to indicate the Supremacy Bonus color on each of the Cube Trays, as they can otherwise block the indicator on the board depending on your angle. I put the color swap at 60mm - 70mm, and you'll want to do:

• Blue Band: grey, yellow

• Orange Band: black, blue

• Both Band: green (60mm - 65mm, 65mm - 70mm)

How I Designed This

I originally spent a lot of time looking through the many existing organizers and couldn't find anything that really did what I wanted. I tried tweaking one but it's license didn't allow sharing, and I tried tweaking another but it got too complicated. Eventually, I decided to just start from scratch and did a lot of measuring and some test prints to double-check things.

I then spent a lot of time trying to figure out the design for the Cube Trays. A lot of other models have lids (ones that get stuck and ones that screw off easily), but that ends up taking up a lot of space, which just wouldn't fit in the original cardboard insert; and/or they'd end up being pretty small, making them hard to use during gameplay. I tries a lot of ideas to get round trays that matches the board's circle size, but there just wasn't enough space in the original cardboard insert; so I compromised on the rounded rectangles in the final design. It allows for enough space for the cubes, fits in the original cardboard insert, and has a nod to the original circle shape.

The Point Trays were the most technically challenging. It can be difficult to do "less standard" shapes in Tinkercad, and I also liked the idea of having the cardboard "tray" sit flush in the bottom of the trays. They originally only had the "bulge" on one side, but I later added it when I realized that the wells in the original cardboard insert were not all the same size, so it needed to be bigger (plus, the point tokens were easier to fit this way). The red cubes end up with a lot of free space in their tray, but that's okay to match the others (I store the round tracker in there).

From the beginning, for the Card Trays, I had the idea of giving it a sort of brim to make it not slide around in the original cardboard insert's wells, and relying on the walls to keep the cards in. I then spent a lot of time doing math to see what would make the most sense on how to fit them. Unfortunately, the stack of base game cards are just slightly too tall to fit in a single card holder, so I had to split them up; but I think that's a fair compromise and it does prevent Card Tray A from being too tall that it might be less structurally sound. I left some extra space in each card holder for a little buffer and promos, and put in some cutouts to save filament and make it more thematic.

I originally tried to make the hex point tokens stand vertically and tried a few ideas, including fitting them behind the Card Trays; but that just wasn't going to fit. I eventually settled on the final design, which actually worked out well because there are only 5 Cube Trays, and we'd otherwise need a spacer to prevent the 5th from sliding around; so I made sure that these had the appropriate dimensions to fit there nicely.
