D&D Tile Box Organization System by MetroidSlayer

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Storage box system for 2 inch tabletop gaming tiles, but they can be used for almost anything. Most of the components are designed to be printed in vase/spiralize mode (check file names).
I'm a huge fan of the OpenForge 2.0 system with separate walls, but storing all the pieces became a problem. Each of these containers can hold six 2x2 floor tiles, or five wall sections. The containers can be placed or glued in a larger box for storage for transportation. If one breaks, print another! A container and lid set is only about 30 cents worth of plastic, and less than 2hrs worth of print time.
The font on the lids is GemFont's Knights Quest from 1001 Fonts. https://www.1001fonts.com/knights-quest-font.html
Also included is a grippy holder for a single container. Several of these can be glued together and/or glued to the bottom of a larger box. The holder should be grippy enough to keep the containers stable during transport, while still allowing them to be removed easily. I'm still testing this part.
Things still left to do:
Print complete set to confirm everything is works as it should (tolerances, etc)
Design tray or frame for containers
Change orientation of lids for easier printing
Design inserts/adapters for minis and other TTRPG things
Printing notes:
Use spiralize or vase mode slicing feature for files with "SPIRAL" in their name. I printed mine at .24 layer heights with no issues.
Flip the lids 180 degrees so that the text is on the bed of the printer. Set the number of bottom layers to 3 or 4. The text is only .4mm deep, and will not create a hole in the print.
Misc:
V2 Holder_LOCKING Spiral.stl is an older version of the containers with sides that can press together. These can be useful if you intend on gluing the containers inside another box or tray. The V3 Lids will not work with this file.
