3D model description

Fancy organizers for Ark Nova base board game with Marine Worlds expansion. This is my version 4: decorative and comfortable organizers adjusted to accommodate components of expansion. Quick game set up and comfort during the play. Sliding lids prevent components from falling out during the storage. Theme cutouts and reliefs decorate lids.

The set contains: Puzzles 1 organizer, Puzzles 2 organizer, Puzzles 3 organizer, Money organizer, Association organizer, Token organizer, Player's component organizer, Card tray and Card organizer. All containers fit the base game box. I use cards without sleeves, but all card containers are larger, so sleeved cards should fit there as well.

  1. PUZZLES 1 ORGANIZER: It is an organizer for Standard enclosures + Kiosk/ Pavilion tiles. Each type of tile has a dedicated section for an easy draw.
  2. PUZZLES 2 ORGANIZER: It is an organizer for 5 types of Special enclosure tiles: 3 from the base game and 2 from the expansion. Well adjusted posts keep piles in place, still they don't interrupt an easy grab.
  3. PUZZLES 3 ORGANIZER: It is an organizer for all Unique buildings from the base game and the expansion. Tiles are compactly arranged, so the tray wouldn't take too much space. Still all of them are clearly visible and easy to find during the play. A location for each tile is properly marked. Well adjusted posts keep tiles in place, still there's easy access to all puzzles.
  4. MONEY ORGANIZER: 4 sections for 4 types of money. They are well adjusted to the size and amount of tokens. Rounded bottom facilitates item draw.
  5. ASSOCIATION ORGANIZER: Partner zoos, Universities and Bonus tiles are accommodated here in thoroughly adjusted sections. All types of tiles are well visible and easy to grab.
  6. TOKEN ORGANIZER: X, Constriction, x2 and Venom tokens are accommodated here in separate sections. I also keep here Break marker and Tile for solo play.
  7. PLAYER'S COMPONENT ORGANIZER: All player's components are kept here in dedicated sections: workers, player tokens and counters. Action cards are kept on the shelf above tokens and counters. A decorated sliding lid prevents components from falling out during the storage. There are 4 sketches of animals: 2 flamingos, a panther, a cobra and fish, so each player can have a different lid.
  8. CARD TRAY: There are a lot of Zoo cards in this game. I have decided to keep them in 2 identical Card trays. This container can be placed horizontally or vertically. Standing position serves well during the play. There are serrations on the bottom to prevent cards from sliding down when the tray is placed horizontally. As you can see on the pictures cards without sleeves don't fill the whole space in 2 trays, so sleeved cards should fit there easily.
  9. CARD ORGANIZER: It is a simple organizer for 3 types of cards: Final Scoring, Base Conservation Project and Alternate action cards. I use it for cards without sleeves, but it is large enough for sleeved cards. Indentations facilitate taking cards out.

All organizers fit the base game box very well, provide quick game setup and comfort during the play. However it's not an insert.

On my Cults3d profile there are available my previous versions for Ark Nova organizers: a simple version 1 and more fancy version 2/ 3 only for the base game. This set has its origin in version 2, but almost all organizers are redesigned, so all components from the base game and the expansion fit them well and then, all these organizers fit well the game box. Only Player's component organizers are unchanged.

3D printing settings

All organizers were 3Dprinted on Prusa MK4:
- in PLA (F3D Gold pearl),
- No support is needed,
- Infill 10-15% gyroid.
Note1: I use slightly changed default Print settings "0.15mm SPEED MK4" in PrusaSlicer.
Note2: Monotonic lines top fill increases lid's quality.
Note3: Sliding lids are adjusted to 0.15 mm layer height. Puzzles 3 organizer can be 3d printed with 0.2 mm layer height.

Printing Time (for one organizer of each kind) (with Input Shaper):
4h12' - Puzzles 1, container
1h46' - Puzzles 1, lid
1h56' - Puzzles 2, container
1h19' - Puzzles 2, lid
