Overview

My wife and I bought Imperial Settlers (it's a great game) and found there were a lot of pieces that ended up all over the table we were using.

There are six pieces types, plus some other pieces that only are picked out at the beginning of the game. There are also 4 factions plus faction cards that I wanted to have organized. Just like most board games, it is a bunch of zip lock bags with all of these separate.

This could be better.

Design Goal

So as my first Fusion 360 project, I modeled this design. The intention was making the whole game able to be removed from the box for gameplay, easy to grab resource pieces, cards easily organized, and when we were done it would be minimal cleanup. I also did not want to have any pieces in zip lock bags.

I only have four "squares" (they are not actually squares) for pieces. I ended up modeling an insert for the "squares" to hold the two additional types of pieces. These will slot into the squares perfectly.

The "squares" are actually 55mm x 60mm. I did this just because.

I printed this at 5% infill. When watching the print, it had some spaghetti but it was not visible after the floors in each hole and walls started printing. I would print this at 10% next time to help give the whole thing a bit more rigidity.

I took calipers and measured the space in the game box. Then on a notepad, I sketched out what I wanted it to look like. Once I had the design, I designed it in Fusion 360.
