Love to see this! I have a backlog of stuff to print for my games. Some of these I recognize for sure. The small trays and the stuff for Gloomhaven. I've done a couple 3D models myself actually. Stacking cardholders that can be placed on a "slope" to create gradual height increase. Cards can be placed horizontally or vertically. Still a bit of a VIP. I want to make it less plastic intensive. This vide showed me a couple cool ways of doing just that. Don't really need fully covered bottoms and sides if you want to hold cards. They don't wall through the cracks ;)
Speaking the truth! The printer wasn't cheap, but all this plastic averages about USD20 a spool. One thing I failed to mention is how much weight all that plastic adds to these boxes.
Heck yeah they are. My personal story is that the first insert I printed was by "Reverman", a Concordia insert. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2512738 The spacer was a short rectangular block that said "Concordia", but resembled a bar of soap. So we passed it around and called it "the soap". To this day, half a decade or more later, we call the first player marker, "the soap", no matter what it is.
This video speaks truth! Now you're going to have to learn painting and do another video about miniature painting. Then another video on laminating. Then another on helper apps. Then another on...
In your bag of player pieces, what mix of pieces have you built up? I was thinking of doing similar and wanted an idea of the range and numbers of pieces you have.
There wasn't a lot of thought behind the numbers, mostly "did someone model these pieces and could I potentially use them?" It's a healthy mix though. imgur.com/a/9PfF9ok

Exactly! I printed this insert for a friend with no solid bottoms (Stardew Valley). It works great! i.imgur.com/1CvzxCW.jpg
Great idea! You could do a whole series on games and upgrades/inserts
Great idea for a video... im not sure what i spent more money on at this point... the games or the resin ive made additions with LOL

Yeh im spending an avg of $25-30 per 1kg bottle. An then of course i have the same pile of half painted prints lol
3D printers are great for custom 1st player markers.
