This is an organizer for the board game, Cubitos.

I wanted to keep the overall aesthetic of the cube theme, but didn't care for dealing with the folded cardboard storage cubes that came with it. The ones I made here are the same dimensions, but use a sliding trap door for dropping the cubes in, or taking them out for the display and game play.

The color cubes also have a built-in slot in the top back for holding up the card that describes the abilities of that die.

For the gray cubes, I lowered the door on one version, so that all the hand tokens could fit in one without spilling out. There is also a shallower gray cube for the credit tokens, it still takes two to display them, but they are deeper so they don't fall out. There is a 4th gray cube that is for storage of all the starter dice, I don't use it for game play. It fills out the game box so there's no gaps.

Everything fits nicely back into the original box without its cardboard insert. I kept the larger cardboard box that came with it, but just as a filler for packing away. It's empty now. I also made some personal dice trays that take up the extra space in the box. They can be stacked 2 by 2 and fill the gap. And there is an optional smaller dice tray. When put away, I arrange the boxes around and the height is good to support the instructions and the boards.

A couple important production notes:

**I added some tiny supports in the door slot so that when the top is printed over them, it won't droop. After printing, I just cut them out with an exacto knife.

**Test the fit of the sliding door in each box. Depending on the printer and the filament, they may come out tight or loose. On the ones that were tight, I just took a metal tool, and scraped the inside of the slot just to reduce the friction to where I wanted it. On the loose ones, you can reprint the lid just a tad thicker...like 1 more layer.

I wanted to keep the original aesthetic as much as possible, but make it easier to set up and take down and store. So I made boxes in the same size and shape, but made the "lids" a trap door that you slide open. Makes it a breeze to empty and fill the top, and later, just slide and drop the dice back in and you're done. Included slots to hold the cards, if desired. For the gray boxes, I increased the depth of the holding area so that all the hands could fit in one without falling out, and all the credits in two. I didn't like how shallow those were. Everything fits nicely and snugly back in the box when I use the original double wide box for a filler, and then I made personal dice trays to fill the rest of the space. Also made a card box.
