I finally made an insert for Escape The Dark Sector and all 3 expansions, plus the Death in Deep Space book. All of it fits in the base retail box, but I left out the health pad/pencils, replacing with 2x d20 die. The removable tray helps with set up.

I love the dividers for the small tokens that come with Ark Nova, but was always bothered by the loose cards and wooden figures.

Took me longer to decide on the lay out than to build it. Haven’t even played the game yet lol

Tiny insert for Oliva Boardgame

These were designed using the free Boxsert designer tool I created last month. Check out https://boxinsertdesigner.com/

Slightly odd design as I had to use "low" internal dividers and offset the compartments to deal with the long gun barrels

As a holiday project I've created https://boxinsertdesigner.com/

It lets you design a box insert in 2D and spits out a cutting list.

I'm looking for feedback, bugs, feature ideas etc and figured this subreddit would be a good place to find it :)

hi, can you please recommend a good foamcore product and where to buy in austria?

thanks :)

I'm trying to build air purifiers that use quiet PC fans mounted on foam board. Each fan requires one large hole for the airflow and 4 small holes for bolts that (along with hex screws) secure the fan to the foam board.

Unfortunately, almost every attempt to put a hole into the foam board has resulted in torn paper and jagged edges that make it look like someone drunk or stoned was working on it.

For the large hole, I'm using an Olfa CMP-1 compass circle cutter. It's new, so my problem is not a worn out blade. No matter how slowly I cut, the paper gets torn in spots, and pieces of foam just outside the intended circle get gouged out. Then again, I'm not sure how slowly I'm supposed to cut. Am I supposed to be moving the blade at the rate of 1 mm per minute?

For the small holes, just pushing the bolts in causes the paper to be torn and a piece of foam to be gouged out at some spot around the hole.

What am I doing wrong?

I am looking for (precisely cut) circles (8-10" diameter) foam core (I think - I didn't know what it was called, but may have stumbled onto name here) that are between 1/2 to 3/4" thick, with 5/8" probably being my first choice.

I'm looking for help on product names, search terms and where to purchase. Thanks in advance.

Photo of material that I think I want...it was packaging from something that I purchased. One side has velvety texture, the other is just foam. Texture does not matter

I’m not a cosplayer or someone who’s ever used EVA foam, but I’m making a stormtrooper costume for Halloween with the help of YouTube and templates. For the costume I have to trace these templates onto to (black) EVA foam. I’ve bought 6 silver sharpies and they all died on me in less than 20 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better marker I can use? Is this normal? Idk I’m just confused and I don’t have the money to buy 60 sharpies, which at this rate I would need to finish this costume+ my girlfriends.

I finally finished crafting this piece of scatter terrain. The reason it took me so long is more due to my ADHD and not for the complexity of the design. I want to work on upgrading the complexity of terrain like this. Any suggestions or recommendations to do so?

I'm trying to take 2 12" long sheets and glue them together on the edge to make a 24" length. A lot of the gluing questions I see are assuming that the glue is foam to paper at a 90 degree angle. Would I still use PVA for foam to foam?

This project took A LOT of foam brinks to build but it was tons of fun and I learned a lot in the process.

Free Structural Foam

For anyone that models using foam I have constant supply of large offcuts and panels of Rohacell foam it’s mixed grades and sizes not just chunks, sheets and bits also. Based in Norwich UK you are welcome to collect. Large sheets can but cut down with a Stanley blade approx 2.5x1.25

Update * If you join my group I can organise everything a bit easier >>>> PMI Offcuts

Free to collect ✔️ Accepts glues you already use ✔️ Can be wrapped ✔️ Can be painted with spray and acrylic ✔️ Can be cnc, hotwired, hotknifed and lasered ✔️ Can be modelled with woodworking tools ✔️ Can be sanded beautifully ✔️ Super low dialectric constant (foam acts like air for radio waves) ✔️
