Comment on Show HN: I created a tool to design and create foamcore inserts for boardgames

Comments

Very neat tool!

I've looked into cutting foam for board game storage, but I don't love the 5mm or so thickness. For games with lots of different little bits and pieces, the many walls to divide many containers add up and take a surprising amount of space inside the game's box.

Short of 3D printing storage solutions, I've found an online tuck-box generator for decks of cards of any size that looks neat, and another site with advice for assembling them:

Yeah, foam core is easy to work with but a bit thick. The tool does let you set the thickness in the project properties so you may be have some luck setting it to be thinner.
