This week I’m working on some 3D printed storage boxes for the Scythe board game. It has a lot of tokens and bits. With the expansion I’m using there are seven factions that each have 5 miniatures, 8 meeple workers, a big ‘ol airship, and at least a dozen other markers.

I decided that I want to get everything inside the original Scythe box and I want to keep each faction separate for easy setup. It would’ve been a much simple project without those danged airships. They are chonky. o.O

I think I’ve managed to iterate a design that works, though. It even has a spiffy little drawer for all the markers.

It’s meant to have washers glued to the bottom of the minis, and magnets inside the box. Keeps the minis from banging around. I plan on painting these minis so I don’t want to just toss them in a box. I’m still working on a simple latch for the drawer, something just snug enough to keep it from sliding out when tipped.

It’s a very tight fit in the main box. If I have a few millimeters to spare I will decorate the final versions: maybe a simple wooden crate. I’m still not sure there will be enough room for the cards and other bits. It’s a fun puzzle.
