WARNING: THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS

Overview

The complete structure is named: complete_insert_v2 but has not yet been exported to an STL file

However, it's been pre-split for easy printing

• For halves:
  • lh_comp_insert2
  • rh_comp_insert2
• For quarters:
  • blq_comp_insert2
  • brq_comp_insert2
  • tlq_comp_insert2
  • trq_comp_insert2

The steel_rail_2 file is glued to the ends of metal sheets to turn them into shelf inserts. You'll need at least 8 of these, but I recommend printing extra since they tend to break when attaching them to the metal sheets. I also recommend sanding & lubrication to make the shelves easier to pull in/out and much quieter.

Materials list

• All of the 3d printed parts mentioned above
• 11 3/4" x 4" Steel plates (to be used as shelves)
  • https://www.amazon.com/Rectangle-Straight-Connector-Thickness-Galvanized/dp/B09MFJBBD3
  • You can optionally fit 2 plates on a single rail/shelf. This makes the shelves much more sturdy, but also significantly increases weight
• Super Glue for attaching the rail sections to the metal sheets
  • I prefer Gorilla Glue Gel
• Medium grit sand paper, for better glue adhesion & FDM print finishing
• 2-Part epoxy adhesive, for attaching the 3d printed sections together
• Clamps/some heavy things for proper adhesion of the expoxy & printed parts
• (Optional) this was specifically designed as a replacement insert for the Standard Battlefoam Sword Bag but will functionally work on it's own

Extras

• The Accessories directory contains several printable inserts w/ premade holes for magnets (usually 10x1mm)
• The Display directory is a WiP, but will eventually become a wall shelf that holds steel inserts with a printable background to display minis outside of the case
