Are you worried your dinos will rampage through the box eating all the patrons while it is on the shelf (of course they can have all the hooligans they want, but patrons, come on!)? Worry no more - with this set of trays and boxes for storing all the Dinosaur Island pieces with room to spare. Your dinos, patrons, cash, and everything else will keep their place in your box.
While this was designed for the Deluxe version, the regular version should fit as well.
Here are some highlights for this design:
All tiles are stored in a single half-height tray that has individual compartments for the "extra" or custom tiles of each type. Not using custom tiles? No problem, no need to sort them out, just pull out the regular tiles.
Set up should go much faster since the dinos, patrons, and cash can all just be lifted out of the box and set on the table.
Player trays have areas to store all the bits associated with each player, so just hand out the trays and everyone should have what they need.
Refer to the included packing diagram if you need help putting things back in the box.
Dinos, cash, and patrons all sit in the deep end of the box, everything else goes on top of the player boards.
Some of the boxes are a bit oversized, but that just leaves room for growth and helps to ensure everything stays in it's place when the game box is tipped on it's side or transported. In fact, the dino cage not only stores all your dinos, but is even big enough to hold a first player token, like say, a 150% scaling of the MakerBot Pocket T-Rex Skull shown in the pictures. None of the boxes have lids. This set generally depends on the closed box to keep everything from mixing around.
Most pieces are custom designed with the exception of the card holders (and the MakerBot Pocket T-Rex skull):
Cards - 60 count - base - ICTCards - 60 count - lid - ICT
These are customized versions of Interlocking Card Tray - v2 by SpoonUnit. They are sized to hold sleeved cards (66.3mm x 93.75mm x 0.54mm). If your sleeved cards are different dimensions, grab SpoonUnit's file and customize to your sizes. You'll need two sets to hold all the cards. FYI - I sized each of these to hold 60 cards, which is more than is needed. Basically just combine one large stack and one small stack into each tray.
Enjoy. I printed these on a combination of my DBot and my Original Prusa i3 MK1.

Update 2018 12 04 - I've uploaded two new versions of the following:
Dino Cage v3 - The internal floor of the box has been lowered to conserve print time and make the bottom single layer (i.e. no need for infill). Outside dimensions remain the same as the original, this version is just a little (~3mm) deeper. No functional difference.
Patrons v4 - This one also is a little deeper (~0.5mm) internally while keeping the outside dimensions the same. No functional difference again, this one just prints a little better.
One last note, I've printed the Dino Cash, Patrons, and Player trays all with 4 outer shells and 0% infill. The shells give the scalloped bottoms enough substance that they don't need infill to support them.End Update
