Description
Replacement box organizers for the Dominion base game (2nd edition) and several of the expansions. These inserts are designed for use with cards sleeved with non-premium sleeves, such as those from sleevedominion.com*. I do not expect these to work with premium sleeved cards.
Each model is provided in two ways:
The full size model is 288.5 x 288.5mm and should print on larger printers such as a Prusa XL or an Elegoo Neptune Plus.
If I didn't mess up the Quadrant models, they should print on “normal” sized printers such as the Prusa Mini or larger. I'm doing all of my printing on a MK3S+. If I did mess them up, you can always cut up the full size model in your preferred slicer to whatever size you need.
Once printed, the four quadrants can be placed directly into the game/expansions bottom box. These inserts are heavy, weighing in at about 700g (1.5 lbs). I suggest taping or gluing the quadrants together to improve the strength. Personally, I tape the four quadrants together with small pieces of packing tape, then wrap the entire outer perimeter in packing tape. This adds significant strength when you pick up the box from a corner without supporting the bottom.
Once the quadrants are printed, you'll need to arrange them properly. I didn't add anything to them to ensure they're arranged correctly, but there's only four parts. Jigsaw puzzles for toddlers start out at 9 parts, so I don't anticipate problems. All slots should line up reasonably well with the card guides.
These parts do not require significant strength, keep in mind that they're replacing very flimsy plastic. I used the following settings for printing:
There's a CardSlotTest model that is provided. This model contains four slots for cards, intended to hold 10, 15, 30, and 40 cards each. This can be printed to ensure that your sleeved cards will fit nicely before you commit to printing a large model.
Slice the model at a Z height of 28mm, keeping the lower portion and discarding the top. Then slice it again at a height of 26.5mm, keeping the upper part this time.
This isn't a super quick print, but if you do this for each quadrant, you can put your card guide in the slot and verify that each of the card slots lines up. You can also attempt to slip your cards through the test prints to make sure they'll fit.

These things are fantastic! Zachrandir devised a simple storage solution that slips right into the original box inserts. There are a couple of different thicknesses of his boxes, some for narrow slots and some for wider slots.
As I create these inserts, I've been adding in appropriately sized slots for these boxes.
I can still design a box insert. I'll just need the following information:
I can possibly update the design to allow for the thicker cards. I'll need to know what brand of sleeves you're using and how thick a stack of 10 cards, 15 cards, 20, and 30 cards is. There will likely be a bit of back and forth between us as I spin up some test models, but we should be able to make it happen.
* I am neither affiliated with nor do I endorse sleevedominion.com. I only use their sleeves and made these organizers to fit them. I'd expect most thin-style sleeves to be similar and likely work in this organizer.
