Alien Frontiers Insert

thingiverse

This is my custom board game insert for Alien Frontiers, tailored specifically to accommodate the Factions expansion, Outer Belt expansion, all 7 promo packs, and the 4 faction packs. The base game in question is the second edition, but this design should seamlessly integrate with any edition of the base game. I also incorporated rocket dice and upgraded components into the design. Constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement are always welcome; feel free to comment. The design itself is straightforward, although I was working under time pressure, which meant that the cards didn't receive special attention. They all fit neatly within one card box, with the exception of the Factions cards, which have their own designated space. It's worth noting that this design doesn't account for sleeved cards; however, if someone could provide me with the dimensions of the cards, I'd be more than happy to create custom boxes for them. One notable feature is the dual-purpose spacer I designed. Not only can it serve as a spacer, but it can also hold the extra components replaced by the Rocket Dice upgrade - as you can see in my own implementation. As with all of my previous designs, this insert is flush with the lid when all components are in place. It has successfully passed the shake test, which means that storage on its side won't be a problem.
