I created a tool to design and create foamcore inserts for boardgames

3 in - 3 out #midi switch: with some help from an #electronics forum, I unlinked the GND together and fixed a bug in my DIY switch.

+ #foamcore for the cheap win when one doesn't own a 3d printer!

My first foray into creating a #BoardGames insert using #FoamCore. Takes a bit of headscratching to decide how to organise the sections but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. As well as looking tidier, getting rid of the plastic baggies should greatly improve setup and teardown times.

The box for the board game Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island, opened up to show a custom insert used to organise the pieces into neat compartments.

If you find yourself with more ink bottles than wine bottles, then perhaps grab some and glue up some boxes to store them in.

Hey Fediverse glad to be here! πŸ‘‹β€‹When I'm not herding my kids I like to craft #foamcore inserts for my #boardgames, tinker with my PC, and cook #breakfast for all the meals! #introductions #CoffeeIsLife #de-Google #FOSS

@wholesomedonut What about #boardgames with solo variants? For a quick weeknight #rollandwrite I like Railroad Ink and Welcome To. For a bit more crunch Terraforming Mars and A Feast For Odin are perfect for lazy Sundays. I've also heard good stuff about Under Falling Skies.

It's pretty much how I got into crafting my #foamcore inserts. Faster setup = more time to game!

I've been doing more solo #boardgames during COVID. More tactile fun and no screens is a welcome change of pace!
