Blackout: Hong Kong – Board Game Organizer / Insert (3D Printable STL)
This 3D printable organizer is designed for **Blackout: Hong Kong** (Pfister classic) and is built to fit *inside the original cardboard insert* that comes with the game. The layout was designed around the **first edition**, but I believe it should also work for the **second edition** as well. Everything fits snugly in the box with a clean, secure pack and no component shifting.
The insert’s biggest quality-of-life improvement is the **Scout Tiles system**: all scout tiles are stored pre-sorted in **16 small trays**, each holding **3 tiles** (48 total), letting you set up the scout tiles in seconds and get playing immediately.
Cards can be stored **sleeved**, and trays include lids where needed to keep everything tight and organized.
This insert follows a *minimalist, no-waste design philosophy*. Every wall, divider, lid, and cutout exists for function—no decorative elements, no wasted material. The focus is fast prints, low filament consumption, and practical storage that speeds up setup/teardown.

This organizer is all about *speed and flow*. The scout tile system is the star: you store the tiles once, and every future setup is basically instant. Player pieces remain separated, money stays contained with a lid, and the card trays keep decks tidy (even sleeved). Everything fits snugly inside the factory insert for a clean pack and easy storage.
This listing is for **digital 3D model files (STL)** only. **No physical items or printed inserts will be shipped.** You are responsible for printing the files yourself or through a third-party printing service.
