Maestro Board Game Insert Organizer
Maestro (Board&Dice) Box Insert: One Tray per Workshop
Four removable, open-top trays that fill the box of Maestro ($285 \times 285 \times 73\text{ mm}$ inside), with every component in a labeled, shaped well. It is a fan-made insert. It is not affiliated with Board&Dice, and it contains no game artwork.
What to Print
Print a single copy of each part.
The insert consists of four distinct trays: L (Leonardo da Vinci), M (Michelangelo), S1 (shared cards and tiles), and S2 (shared tokens and solo). The file maestro_organizer.3mf has all four laid out ready for printing.

Files Included
- maestro_organizer.3mf : The four trays, ready to slice.
- my_designs/maestro_v2.scad : The OpenSCAD source code of the insert for modifications.
- my_designs/maestro_prototype.scad : Small fit-test trays for the custom-shaped wells (blueprint, popular gallery, event marker) at three clearances each.
- my_designs/svg/ : Vector outlines of components with custom-shaped wells (used by the SCAD files).
- lib/boardgame_insert_toolkit_lib.4.13.0.scad : The Boardgame Insert Toolkit library dependency.
Design Specifications
- Sleeved Cards: Designed for mini cards ($45 \times 68\text{ mm}$) and standard cards ($57 \times 89\text{ mm}$) in $90\,\mu\text{m}$ sleeves.
- Height: The trays are $38.5\text{ mm}$ tall, leaving room for game boards, the $4.5\text{ mm}$ spinner (sideboard, tools tile, and pin), action overlays, and the rulebook on top.
Note: If you do not store the spinner on top, set spinner_extra = 0 in the SCAD file to produce $41\text{ mm}$ tall trays.
- Walls: $1\text{ mm}$ wall thickness. Each tray measures at most $142\text{ mm}$ per side.
- Finger Openings: Wells for loose, small pieces include a lip to prevent components from sliding out when the game box is stored vertically.
- Custom Fits: Precedence, event marker, publicity, blueprint, and popular gallery wells match exact piece geometry (sourced from svg/ ). Each was fit-tested using prototype prints.
Editing & Customization
- Open my_designs/maestro_v2.scad in OpenSCAD .
- Select the tray to render by changing build_tray at the bottom of the file (choose between "L" , "M" , "S1" , or "S2" ).
Alternatively, compile directly via the command line:
openscad -D 'build_tray="M"' -o maestro_michelangelo.stl my_designs/maestro_v2.scad
Performance Tip: Rendering individual trays can take time with the default CSG engine. Use --backend=Manifold if supported by your OpenSCAD installation. Ensure lib/ and svg/ directories remain in the same relative paths.
