Designer's Description

I couldn’t find a Twilight Struggle insert that fit my needs, so I designed my own! Most inserts cause too much lid lift or don’t handle sleeved cards well , so I made one that:

✅ Fits the Twilight Struggle Deluxe Edition (tested with the Sixth Printing , but should work for other Deluxe versions).
✅ Optimized for sleeved cards —the Early War cards alone take up most of the free vertical space , so I structured the trays accordingly.
✅ Smart card & token storage:

  • Four card piles:
  • Early War (takes up most vertical space).
  • Late War (not full, so has room for token trays).
  • Two Mid-War piles (also with space for token trays).
  • Tile trays for easy sorting & quick setup.

✅ Trays for general supply tokens , that support deluxe plastic tokens (linked below), but should support cardboard as well .
✅ Lidless player component trays for fast access (influence counters 1-8 + die).

  • Includes a spacer to fill the small gap next to the player board , which helps fix everything in place and allows for vertical storage .
Size & Printing Details
  • Insert Dimensions: 300 × 220 mm
  • Multicolor Printing (Optional):
  • Top Layers Color Swaps:
  • Blue for USA trays
  • Red for USSR trays
  • White for cards & token supply
  • Rest printed in grey
  • If you don't have AMS , you can either:
  • Print it in one solid color
  • Manually swap filaments at the top layers
  • Print trays in Red/Blue/White separately
  • Adaptive Layer Height Used:
  • Most plates are printed with adaptive layer height to ensure a smooth and fast print .

🛠 Plastic tokens used: GeekUp Bit Set: Twilight Struggle

🔥 Prints without supports and keeps everything tightly organized!

Since I couldn’t find any Twilight Struggle inserts on MakerWorld , I figured others might need this too. Hope this helps fellow Twilight Struggle fans! 🎲🔥
