3D model description
Organizers for Nassau board game. Quick game set up and comfort during the play. Sliding lids prevent components from falling out during the storage. Theme reliefs and cutouts decorate lids.
There are a lot of components in Nassau and each board has a different size =:O. Deg organizers for this board game was challenging, but I'm very satisfied with how it turned out.
The set contains: Resources organizer, Ship&Tile organizer, Animal&Opponent organizer, Player's component organizer, Card trays, Board organizer and Goods container.
- RESOURCES ORGANIZER: Many different types of resources that are used during the play are accommodated here in separate sections. There are reliefs that help to put components into the right compartments. Rounded bottom facilitates the draw. 2 of such organizers should be 3d printed to accommodate all resources. These organizers can be placed on 2 sides of the table, so all players can reach for components comfortably during the play. A circular hole in the lid provides access to the partition wall of the container, so you can pick the organizer this way - it helps while unpacking the game box.
- SHIP&TILE ORGANIZER: Players' Ship boards are kept here in the largest section. There are also smaller compartments where different types of tiles are stored: Trading posts, Offers, Old Sea Bear tiles, Control towers, Outposts and Flying Dutchman expansion components. Each section is well adjusted to the size of tiles that it contains. Indentations facilitate taking components out.
- ANIMAL&OPPONENT ORGANIZER: At first I wanted to keep these tiles in textile bag so the blind draw is simple. However, bags are more messy in the game box. So I also designed organizer for these tiles - as an option. It fits the game box nicely. So, there are separate sections for Animals and Opponents. Small thresholds prevent tiles from sliding down. Sloped back walls and indentations facilitate taking tile out. There is also a small pocket for additional Cargo holds tiles. I only played the base game, so I'm not sure if they are necessary at all, but I didn't want to throw them away.
- PLAYER'S COMPONENT ORGANIZER: All components for one player are accommodated in Player's organizer. One section is for cubes (Ammo crates) and the other - for the rest of wooden markers. On top goes a shallow tray where cardboard pieces are kept: Sailor, Sail with a flag, 2 Cargo holds and 100/200 VP token. There are recesses on sides to facilitate grabbing the tray. For each player there is a dedicated lid with reliefs based on figurehead from the player's Ship board.
- CARD TRAYS: There are 2 Card trays: A(rrr) and B. Starting cards S are kept with A(rrr) deck. Sloped bottom and indentation facilitate the draw. To pack Card trays into the game box they have to be separated, but before the play they can be assembled with a simple attachment. The default Card trays are adjusted to plain cards. If you use sleeves, print optional versions of these trays containers. Lids stay the same. Sleeved card trays are simply just taller. Still, they fit into the game box without a problem.
- BOARD ORGANIZER: There are so many different boards in this game! Some of them are just kept in the pile in the Board organizer, but some I have managed to accommodate more appropriately. Animal Island, Old Sea Bear board and Hideouts got lucky - there are nicely adjusted recesses for them. There is also a compartment for universal components: all black markers (i.e.: Conflict dice, Pirate captain, Old Sea Bear ship), Dolphin and Stefan Feld figure. Campfire Island functions as a lid to this organizer.
- GOODS CONTAINER: All wooden cylinders (Goods) are kept here. It's a simple container with a sliding lid. It fits inside the Board organizer. But you may prefer to keep them in a textile bag instead for simpler blind draw.

3D printing settings
All organizers were 3Dprinted on Prusa MK4 (with Input Shaper):
- in PLA (Nebula Silk Dark Blue),
- No is needed,
- Infill 10% gyroid,
- 8 top layers.
Note1: Printing settings with 0.15 mm layer height are recommended for organizers with lids, so they work smoothly. I used slightly changed default Print settings "0.15mm SPEED MK4" in PrusaSlicer.
Note2: Trays with no lid were 3d printed with 0.20 mm layer height settings.
Note3: I used Silk PLA (Generic PLA Silk settings in PrusaSlicer) and Archimedean Chords top fill for lids - it resulted in a longer printing time.
If you want to speed up the print of containers, use 0.20 mm layer height settings but with Height range Modifier and 0.15 mm layer height where guides are.
Note4: Resources, Board and Ship&Tile Organizers are 240 mm long.
