Space Empires 4x Trays

This is a complete set of storage and chit containers to hold all content released for the board game Space Empires 4x as of the Replicator expansion. This will fit in a large game box of the size 16"x11"x3.5" (40.5x27.5x9cm), in my case an expansion box from the game Galaxy Defenders. I then sprayed this case black, applied label paper and varnished with the result being displayed above.

These could be improved by changing the lid to a sliding one for example, and the cards tray can definitely be improved but this works fine for me now. You might have to adjust some lids a bit with some greenstuff to make them fit tighter.

The chit holders are based on the design by Kickbut01 but remade entirely in Autodesk Fusion 360 with different dimensions. An added thing are spacers that you place under the tiles for sections where you do not fill up the holder with tiles. This makes them more secure and they can't fall out by going sideways.

For each regular player you need two ship trays with lids and one larger tray with lid for systems and markers.
I recommend printing these in each players colour, as for tokens you can use the regular chits, wooden cubes or printing the tokens I've listed below.

Each regular player also needs the following spacers - they are available as singles and soon as one combined print file - if using my suggested layout (based on the ship chart) as pictured above among the images. Each player gets 10 number 1-2, 5 number 3-4 and 3 number 5-6 and the rest of the numbers go in the neutral trays.

1x2mm
2x4mm
3x6mm
12x8mm
4x10mm
2x12mm
2x14mm
1x16mm

For the Replicator player the spacers needed are:

1x6mm
1x8mm
1x10mm
3x14mm
2x16mm
4x18mm
1x28mm

For the small Neutral chits they are not sorted but are in trays. My suggested layout is in a photo above. The 100 small tokens are saved punchouts from another game (Roll Player) and are used in some scenarios as relics and the like.

For the terrain hexes I have sorted them as follows:

1 full stack of Asteroids
1 full stack of Nebulas
1 mixed stack of Asteroids/Nebulas
1 full stack of Neutral Worlds
1 stack of Black Holes
1 stack of Supernovas
1 mixed stack of Galactic Capital, Worm Holes and Folds in Space.

Spacers for these have been provided.

The cards are stored in a container with movable dividers. This could be better designed but it works and fills up the box. I would recommend printing 4 dividers.

For the tokens I have printed the following, but if you have any better suggestions send me a PM. I print these in as fine quality as I can. This should be enough to replace all non-combat markers (except Miners) with physical tokens.
