Description
This is my custom board game insert for the game Mombasa. I'm always welcome to constructive criticism, or suggestions for improvement. Feel free to comment!
First off, this design is very PLA heavy. The box for Mombasa is far larger than it needs to be, so I designed to use up the space. For that, I apologize...I just cannot bring myself to stuff a box with foamcore though.
The design is meant to work with the Geek Up bits from the BGG store. They fit just fine, and the boxes will also easily fit the original cardboard bits with no trouble. I've also found that you can fit a set of cloth bags in the Spacer, so you can put the books into a bag for randomization. I've also included sleeved and unsleeved boxes for anything using cards. I do not sleeve my cards, so the sleeved boxes are based on educated guesswork...if someone wants to try them out and confirm they work (or don't work), please let me know. Also, for the larger storage boxes, I've included a full size box and a split box. I've tested the split boxes and they work well.
As with all of my designs so far, I've designed it so the insert is flush with the lid with all components in place. It passed the shake test with no issues.
For printing, follow along with the screenshot I have posted in the pictures. It will tell you how many of each STL to print, along with approx cost and time. Please note, you will either print the Sleeved or Unsleeved player boxes and card box, and you will either print the full size Company Boards and Player boards boxes, or the split versions (marked with an L and R)
