Carpe Diem Insert

thingiverse

My insert design for Carpe Diem. I'm always welcome to constructive criticism, or suggestions for improvement. Feel free to comment! After playing this game for the first time, I figured it needed a quick set up. Organising and randomising all of the light and dark green tiles is painful. I also find the VP cards annoying, so I've put together my own set of poker chips to replace them, and included a box to hold them. For the tiles, the Light Green box will hold 28 tiles per slot, enough for each of the first three rounds of the game. The Dark Green box holds 28 tiles in the larger slot (for the final round), and 11 in the smaller slot (for the initial game setup). The only thing you'll need to do is separate the four sets of goal cards and pick one of each set. The box that houses the frame boards has been split in two, to account for my print bed (only 200mm). It will snap together with a bit of patience, the puzzle piece is tight. I did two prints of it and both did snap together, I had to work at it a bit to make it fit though. I've also included an STL of this box in one piece, if anyone wants to split it themselves (or you have a large printer). The insert is designed to sit flush with the lid with all components in place. It passed the shake test with flying colours, so it will allow for storage on its side. I did not design it to house sleeved cards, as I don't sleeve my cards. I don't have good dimensions for the cards with sleeves. If someone did want a slot for sleeved cards, reach out to me with some dimensions and I will see what I can do. For the poker chips, I did up my own set of stickers and made up the set shown. I used chips that are 40mm in diameter and 3mm thick. I included space for 20 each of I, V, and X VPs, with 10 of the XXV chips. If anyone would like my design, reach out and I will send it to you. Also, because not everyone wants to use poker chips, I've included a Spacer in the design. You can print the spacer for that slot in the box) For printing, follow along with the screenshot I have posted in the pictures. It will tell you how many of each STL to print, along with approx cost and time. Keep in mind that you will print either the Poker Chip box or the Spacer (you do not need both). Thanks!
