Pandemic (along with On the Brink) Storage Solution

thingiverse

This is a solution to store both the Pandemic Base game and the "On The Brink" expansion in one box.\nI wasn't satisfied with the storage solution that came with the "On The Brink" expansion, which included petri dishes. For me, there simply wasn't enough room for all the cards since I sleeve them all - it takes up twice the space.\nMy solution was to create trays that can hold a sufficient number of sleeved cards and all the pieces.\nThere are three models/stl files I made:\n1) Lower quadrants large enough to take two stacks of cards each. You print two of these stls for four stacks of cards.\n2) Upper quadrants large enough to take one stack of cards and two disease cube tray inserts. Print two of these as well.\n3) Disease cube tray inserts - you print four of these. Each tray holds a pair of disease cubes. I put the disease cubes in the two upper trays with stick-on cupboard feet to keep them grippy on the table next to the game board.\nThe lower trays store purple disease cubes, cured markers, research centers, and outbreak/infection counters. The two lower trays printed in black don't have stick-on cupboard feet - only the two upper blue disease cube trays do. There isn't enough vertical room for the black trays to have these feet but it's not a problem since I access the blue/red/black/yellow disease cubes often next to the game board.\nSee all the photos to see what I mean.\nNote: You pull the trays out by their centers with two fingertips. Dump the cards out of the trays by holding one stack in with your thumb while flipping the other out. This works for me, but something to consider if you plan to print.\nSCAD files are included in case you want to add any cutouts or anything.\nIf you store research centers in the lower disease cube trays like mine, make sure they're laying sideways and away from the outer corners of the trays. This way they clear the tray and any stick-on cupboard feet you might have on the disease cube tray above.\nI printed the four quadrant trays at 50% infill and the four disease cube tray inserts at 100% infill with thinner walls.
