Potion Explosion + Expansion Full Storage and Marble Dispenser

thingiverse

My marble dispenser broke so I decided to build a new one in 3D. As I built it, I heard great things about the expansion pack and bought it immediately. Unfortunately, that wasn't a good idea - the expansion pack is fantastic but it didn't fit neatly inside the box, forcing me to break out my trusty calipers once again. What you see here is the result of hours of measuring and tinkering. You can print the dispenser in its entirety if your printer bed is at least 264mm large; otherwise, you'll need to split it into two separate front and back pieces that snap together perfectly without needing any glue. I designed them this way for added convenience. The potion holders weren't created by me - I found them on Board Game Geek and they worked flawlessly for my needs, so I incorporated them into the build. However, since I don't own the rights to them, you won't find them included in the instructions. You can easily locate them here: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/157448/3d-printable-trays-potions-base-expansion. I thought the new white marbles deserved a fun place to live, so I decided to craft a cauldron for them. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with a design that featured a lid that stayed securely in place - until my friend offered to lend a hand and created an amazing one that you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2804537. I modified it slightly to ensure the cauldron fits snugly inside the box, preventing it from shifting around when placed on its side. My initial dispenser design featured much taller internal walls, making it difficult to retrieve the marbles with thicker fingers - a problem I've since rectified. In the process, I designed the Spell Spoons as an afterthought; while they're no longer necessary, they could still be a fun addition to your game. To create them, I utilized half of this wand: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1069671, and built a spoon front. I've also added notches to both the token box and marble box to ensure the player boards fit neatly inside. Please refer to the accompanying photos for visual guidance on how everything should be laid out. Some parts will require supports during printing, while others won't - simply keep an eye on your slicer software to determine which ones need assistance. I hope this creation enhances your gaming experience in some small way!
