Covers Leaf: Season of the Bear Expansion

Here is an insert I made for Leaf by Tim Eisner of Weird City Games. It's made for the retail version, no guarantees on the Deluxe. I designed it to fit sleeves, but I didn't actually test them this time.

Needs 12 6x3 magnets for the Leaf holder. Use my Magic Magnet Tool to get the correct polarity when you glue them in.

Print 4 player boxes and lids, two acorn boxes and lids, and one of everything else.

Print expansion box if you have the Season of the Bear expansion.

Feel free to remix to account for the Deluxe, but no selling commercially please.

Final Assembly:

After printing assemble all hinged boxes. Take a length of scrap filament longer than the hinge and slide it carefully in the appropriate space. If it needs a little push take some pliers and grab the filament 3-4mm away from the box and push toward the box. Only do a few mm at a time or the filament will snap! Slide until you have 2ish mm sticking out the side of the box, and snip the other side so 2ish mm is on that side as well.

Next take a flame or heat source and carefully heat the end of the filament for 1-2 seconds–careful not to deform the box. Quickly flatten the hot excess filament against a hard surface (metal, granite, etc–NOT plastic). I usually put one finger on the opposite (non heated) side as I push down to keep the filament from sliding the other way. Repeat for the other side. The hinge pin should now be locked in place. Be careful with the player box, if the hinge pin gets stuck to both sides then it makes the hinge twist which could cause it to break. If that happens try to gently loosen the pin from one side so it can spin freely.
