Brass Lancashire Insert - Deluxe & Retail

thingiverse

When people see my other designs, they quickly notice that I have a penchant for sliding lid designs - and it's no secret why: they're incredibly space-efficient. What's not to love? I also appreciate tvkili's design for brass players, which is why I decided to create a sleek sliding lid design inspired by his beautiful player boxes. For the deluxe insert, you can stack the insert boxes with ease, but unfortunately, this isn't possible for retail versions due to their unique dimensions. To address this issue, I designed player boxes that perfectly match the Brass: Birmingham Retail insert's design, and they're even 2mm slimmer because they require fewer tiles. In the pictures, it's clear that the retail version is slightly longer and narrower than the deluxe version. This allows you to place four player boxes side by side in the box. Update: I've added alternative lids and a separate box for increased flexibility. Update 2: I've enlarged the cutout for the circle (1mm in diameter) and made sure the hexagon piece fits perfectly from the retail version. Update 3: I've included Distant Market and Money boxes specifically designed for retail versions. The money boxes come in two different heights, allowing player mats to sit flush with the top of the box. This holds the game board securely, just like my Brass Birmingham insert does. I'll soon add two more boxes - one for iron and one for coal. Update 4: I've added player boxes for retail versions based on the Playerbox-V2 from Brass Birmingham. The 12 Cotton mills are divided into two compartments holding six tiles each. All other tiles have unique numbers, ensuring each tile can fit only in one compartment. Update 5: I've included an Iron + Coal box, but I still need to add some spacers next to the player boxes (118mm x 43mm) and a holder for the cards. Update 6: I've revised all dimensions to create a scad that holds all elements. After tweaking some values, everything should fit perfectly in the box as shown in the OpenScad screenshot.
