Storage cities & knights 2.0

thingiverse

After creating my new expansion for Cities & Knights 2.0 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2865138), I designed a similar box for the main game using lasercutted parts from our fablab. Before starting this project, make sure to use materials with a thickness of 5 mm, such as wood and acrylic-glass. I used Inkscape (freeware) to create those models and convert them to a format suitable for the lasercutter. You can open the attached .svgz-files using this program. There are also some 3D-printed parts included in the design. These are the parts you need to print: 1 x Storage card holder 1 x Storage card holder – badge (to be glued together with the storage card holder) 1 x Set of storage counter parts 1 x Set of storage knights monopoles 1 x Storage core part For the lasercutter, you will need the following parts to cut and engrave with a material thickness of 5 mm: 1 x Top acrylic glass: Use acrylic-glass, cut the outer parts and engrave the writing and picture. 1 x Top-part: Cut the outer parts and engrave the flower-ornaments. 1 x Middle-part: Cut the outer- and inner-parts. 1 x Bottom-part: Cut the outer- and inner-parts. ASSEMBLING: Here's a brief description of how I assembled those parts: * Sand all the parts after they have been cut with the laser-cutter. * Apply a layer of wood stain to all parts, except the sides with the flower-ornaments and the acrylic-glass, of course, and let everything dry. * Sand all the parts (not too much pressure, just to make them smooth). * Use glue to put all the parts together by applying the glue on the "outer-spikes" of each part. Make sure you insert the 3D-printed parts (storage core) inside the wooden bottom-part before closing it in with the front-piece! * Apply three layers of clear coat to all the wooden parts and let them dry. * For the top-part, you will need some extra 6 mm round wood. Cut four parts with a length of 1 cm. Then turn around the engraved acrylic-glass and place it on top of the wooden top-part. Then insert the round wood-parts in the four holes by adding some glue. Don't hesitate to ask me questions about how to build this box if the description is not clear enough. Big thanks go out to Kurt and our Fablab in Bern for their help! They really rule!
