Insert for Lord of the Rings Duel for Middle Earth w/Allies Expansion
Insert for LOTR Duel and Alliance Expansion
Note about original insert: Every piece has changed in an effort to require less filament and accommodate the alliance expansion (and possibly future expansions).
Note: You can use the following for the 6mm spacer underneath the main parts of the insert:
Print 1 of 'Short Once Piece Spacer'
Print 2 of the 'x2 Short Two Piece Spacer' pieces
Or, you can cut a piece of foamboard (or cardboard, whatever is about 6mm thick) and use that instead
No lid lift
Supports extra tiles (both promos and room for a few more)
Supports sleeves (I use sleeve kings brand standard thickness sleeves)
Supports vertical or horizontal storage (nothing should move around, even if you shake the box)
Longest model : 203mm x 195mm (or 203mm x 107mm if you print the two piece short spacer option)
Total grams at default .2 bambu lab slicer settings (except 8% gyroid infill) : 279 or 336 including the short spacer
Print settings : normal for your filament, no supports needed and I recommend 8% infill minimum
Note on multi color printing for text:
All of the multi color printing for this insert was accomplished with adding pauses in the slicer and doing filament swaps.
If you would like details on how to accomplish this with your printer and slicer, do a google search like 'how to I add pauses in Bambu Studio for filament swaps'. Basically, you slice the model, go to the layer you want a filament swap at (one for the text color then possibly one to change back to the predominant color) then you will issue the command to add a pause (right click on the slider for most slicers).
My priorities when designing inserts:
Reduce game setup and tear-down time
Support sleeved cards
No (or very little where impossible) lid lift
Create models that do not need any support
Create models that optimize filament use (when possible)
Make trays that can be used during gameplay
