Singularity Boxes: Modular Game Storage System
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 6 years, 3 months ago
Singularity Boxes are 3D printed containers designed with board game storage in mind. The boxes are compatible with the seemingly defunct Bitbox system. The Singularity Boxes have a few advantages over Bitboxes: they have slightly more volume, they fit sleeved cards better, there are more size options, and they have increased durability. The biggest disadvantage is of course that they need to be printed. All that said I think the Bitbox system was awesome and I hope that one day it will be available again.
While seemingly simple in design, I went through at least a dozen iterations to refine the geometry of the boxes to maximize structural integrity and container volume. I thought this would be a quick project, but it ended up taking way more time than I originally thought. Overall I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out, however I'm always open to ideas. The lids are friction fit, so you may find them a bit hard to put on the box at first depending on your printers tolerance. After a bit of usage though, it smooths out.

The Deck Box and Small Box sizes are available to download for free, here on Thingiverse, thanks to support of my patrons.
A mixture of Singularity Boxes, Bitboxes, and Drive Thru Card's standard deck boxes:
Deck box: 44mm x 75mm x 96mm
Small box: 88mm x 150mm x 96mm
The Deck box holds about 120 standard sized playing cards. It can also fit sleeved cards.
