Nidavellir Modular Coin and Card Stand

Description

There are some excellent Nidavellir coin storage/display solutions on Thingiverse, but I wanted something a bit special. I wanted to be able to have a system that could store the coins safely in the game box then were able to be quickly put on the table without having to load all the coins into the slots to vastly shorten the game's setup time. Additionally, I wanted to put the coins in one long line, with all the cards behind. I find this makes it much easier to take in where each value coin is and what coins have already been taken during the game. During the design I had the idea that the lid could be used to hold the draw piles for the I and II decks and either the respective discard piles or the draw piles for the I and II camp cards from the Thingvellir expansion. The card stands included in the game are prone to tipping so I made sure these were much more stable. It's much less fiddly to load the cards during setup and pick a card out during the game. As the system is modular, you can also set it up with the 3 rows of coins behind each other much like game's original cardboard stand. Finally, if you forgo using the included card holders, you can use these to raise the rows behind other rows, pretty much exactly like the original cardboard stand. To assemble it, there are some single and double triangular markers which help remind you how to put it away. The last two photos show how the parts are assembled when the whole thing is to be packed away. The bottom layer consists of the 3 card stands. The second layer consists of the 3 coin stands. Finally the lid is put on top. If you turn each half of the lid upside down in your slicer, you won't need any supports when printing. NOTE: This was the 3D design I made. I'm pretty proud of the design. It wasn't the first thing I ever printed, but it was early on and the quality of the print isn't great. I was having problems with adhesion back then before I switched from glass to a PEI bed. I was going to reprint before uploading, but I prefer to work on new projects. I used eSun silver PLA+ for the card and coin stands and eSun gold PLA+ for the lid. They don't look like gold and silver to me, but they don't look too bad. Print with any colour you like.
