Taking a break from thinking about Pathfinder and Covid recently, to do a bit of design work. I have been looking for ways to re-organize and improve my storage for X-Wing pieces and parts, and been browsing the various sites for 3d printing options.

For tokens, I am working on a design that collects them all together, along with the damage deck, and fits within the profile of a Stanley storage box. My current method uses the same Stanley, but uses all the miscellaneous small boxes. Since most games really do not need every token of each type, but do need all the different tokens, my design is intended to hold perhaps 10 or so copies of each. The damage deck fits in, and there is space for the dice – effectively making a self-contained game set.

Separately, I am working on a design for a player’s designated squadron – to hold all the necessary ships, stands, markers, and pieces in a closed box. This way they can not only be transported safely, but quickly set up when you are ready to play.

Not sure how far I will end up getting before I am pulled away and distracted, but for now, it is a useful engineering distraction from the day to day grind of work and other routine activities.
