Terraforming Mars Colonies - Colony Holder

thingiverse

I have tried the simple covers for colonies, but those were never that great. They could come off, because not all colony tiles are the exact same size. So I created this holder instead. After printing, simply super clue the two pieces together. The base has a cutout along one edge to make alignment super easy.l Once glued, a colony tile fits in perfectly. It's a tight fit, so I would recommend printing one per colony and just keeping them in the holders forever. Alternatively, you could print the grill portion about 0.5mm taller, and then it would be easier to slip tiles in and out. Note that my Europa tile has everything offset by about 1mm, so I created a separate grill piece just for that tile.
