Age of Galaxy - insert
TL;DR: No-lid-lift, suitable for vertical storage, fits sleeved cards (see last page of pdf), fast setup, and teardown insert for the boardgame Age of Galaxy. Pro Tip: shuffle the required components during re-storing into the box for an even faster setup next time.
If you appreciate my work
In case you want to sell prints of my design, feel free to join my club for a commercial licence.
At least I would appreciate it if you left a like and after printing provided a rating and a comment - this would help me further improve myself.
As for the other inserts I create, I aim for the following (in priority order):
- Enhance step and tear-down part (goal: setup should never take longer than a refresh of the rules to the game)
- Opted to store the majority of sleeved cards (specific sizes of trays see uploaded pdf)
- The game box can be stored horizontally or vertically
- Try to be as lightweight and resourceful as possible - but functionality wins
- No Support needed
A few key items (further information on printing see uploaded pdf):
- Printing requirement: 0.4 nozzle, Arachne Wall Generation, largest printing object 95 mm
- I normally print without Top/Bottom layers and between 10 and 15% Honeycomb infills and 2 walls to achieve the look you can see in the pics. In case there are icons/information (e.g. card trays), I only print without Top/Bottom layers up to 2mm in height. For the PlayerTrays I would print the bottom solid (it is only 0.6mm height)
- If you use PrusaSlicer/BambuSlicer or forks of it (i.e. I use OrcaSlicer) I suggest that you load the 3mf-files - those are pre-cut and names contain additional printing information
- All those settings result in appr. 90g of filament needed for the whole print
As always, I love suggestions & feedback to improve further.
Have fun printing.

There are games that don't necessarily need an insert. However, I was tempted to see if I could do some magic with the packed little game box. And with a filament consumption of just under 90g, it's still reasonable. If anyone wants to reprint it - it's free to download from my Printables profile
