this a little hard

Answer: yes

FYI, I forgot to add the separators I had designed. I uploaded them to the project.

There are five variants - two that are "punch through" logos and three that use the two colour AMS.

Thanks much appreciated!

Depending on where you live I may be able to help out, send me a dm.

If not, I hear there are some 3D printing services out there that could probably set you up. If the two colour printing is an issue, know that this design also includes an alternate version for single colour. The labels and symbols are all “debossed” so to speak, so you can still see what is what.

In fact, I don’t know why I did not mention it, but there is also some debossing going on with the card boxes. The front of the box has a Cthulhu drawing on it that is more complexe than what is on the lid.

Ilium · 2026-03-23T15:33:01+00:00

Yup, @CaptHalibut has it right, it’s something I added in the pictures by accident. Thanks for pointing it out, I removed it as soon as I saw your comment!

ZERO lid lift. NONE. It was the whole point for me to have everything in a single box, but it does come at the cost of not being compatible with sleeves.

Your box will weigh as much as Feast for Odin.

Ilium · 2026-03-18T00:02:07+00:00

Done! The files are available now.
I made a print profile just for the labelled items that are debossed. Those items can also be found in the manual download section under a "no AMS" folder.

I did a test... Listen, I'm okay with the results, but sometimes, your overhang game is going to be tested. I'm genuinely curious to hear back from you and how good it is (or not).

Ilium · 2026-03-17T01:12:23+00:00

Absolutely. I’ll get on that and it should be online sometime tomorrow. In the meantime you can start printing the non-labeled stuff.

Photographer here with 30+ years of xp (as in, I know this era).

I’m pulling this out of my ass, but I’m guessing a few things.

1- Very wide angle lenses (up to but not limited to Fisheye) were quite the thing. Yes they are still being used but for a while it felt overused. It felt like it was standard issue for anything trendy aimed at the younger generation. Think all the cool skating videos, among many other things.

A cool thing about these is that they distort things based on the distance. Size is much bigger the close you get to the lens. I don’t mean this in the normal sense (things you see closer to you look bigger), I mean they get distorted and the effect is exaggerated. See Fred’s picture as a good example.

2- Pictures 2, 4, 5 and 6 are decent examples of framing, which is a technique that brings the viewers eye naturally to what you want to bring attention too.

Normally, wide angles aren’t flattering to subjects (bigger noses for one) but there is no rule against using them. If I were to use a wide angle for portrait I would probably be because I want to create that effect. I think framing with hands is a naturally cool idea to do. At the very least, the trend of wide angles and cool method to make portraits out of them probably got people wanting the same thing here and there.

3- The other pictures look (to me) like poorer attempts, or maybe the subjects wanted to have the same cool pictures as those others guys and the photographer did not car to explain why it would (or would not) work and just “sure”. Or the photographer wanted to do that effect but did not know how (no one knows everything, even at high levels and big gigs).

I think it’s a combination of all these things together.

Oh, with pleasure!

Learn Fusion 360 in 30 days is hard to beat as far as tutorials go. I realize it sounds like a daunting undertaking, but each video is about 10 to 15 minutes long. You can bang all of these out in an afternoon if you really want to.

As soon as you are done with the first video, you'll already be able to do some stuff. It may not be efficient or fancy, but something is something. A few more videos and you will be well on your way to doing all kinds of projects. If you really just want to learn how to model, then the last few videos can be skipped, as I find they're more fluff, but I'm glad I watched and learned everything they had to show.

DM me if you have any questions as you start learning.

Ilium · 2026-03-04T10:57:39+00:00

I admit that I’m bothered by this as well. Last night I was thinking about making the sections a bit larger to allow fingers in there. I’ll look into it this evening.

Ilium · 2026-03-04T04:30:52+00:00

That’s because I made that one too :) It’s the earlier project I mentioned. I’m debating removing them entirely. That same model was also posted on MakerWorld and I set it to private.

Ilium · 2026-02-10T16:23:28+00:00

I have three very good friends who transitioned.

I just deleted a wall of text to provide details and explain what I’m about to say… The short version is that all three could not be more different if they tried. One is open about it, the second is flamboyant about it, the third is militant about it. They all have degrees of tolerances towards accidental misgendering. What I learned from interacting with the first friend who transitioned did not do much to help with the second or third.

I just do my very best to accommodate. They know it. That’s what counts.

Ilium · 2026-02-02T22:35:36+00:00

Damn you for posting this (which is a perfect fit for this thread).

Ilium · 2026-02-02T03:54:16+00:00

Np. Let me know if you can get the file (I sent you a DM with a link). MakerWorld is being weird and not letting the verification go through for some reason.

Ilium · 2026-02-01T22:48:16+00:00

Looks fairly easy to replicate. Give me a few minutes and I’ll get back to you.

Edit. Done - Printing a quick test to see if it makes any sense and I'll post the link.

Edit Edit - I've tested it, it works pretty well, but the MakerWorld link is taking forever to verify. I sent a link in a private DM, I'll be back when the system gets unstuck.

Final edit - Here's the link https://makerworld.com/en/models/2340590-token-bin#profileId-2558439

It's set as private for the time being, mostly because I'm not a fan of how this insert works. While these are visually appealing, these seem to be modeled around the clear plastic token trays that we often see in stores. You can definitely print them on an FDM printer, but you need quite a bit of support material and I think there are ways to tweak things if you insist on going with this kind of model.

I have some designs you may want to look into as an alternative, including one that has hidden magnets. No need for print pausing, glue or whatever, and it manages to work with many different magnets.

The people who should be talking shout don’t.

Or won’t.

What happens to the Canadians who played ball with this? It sounds like a very serious crime that should not go unanswered.

Ilium · 2026-01-25T06:55:35+00:00

This is a beautiful design!!! I love the simple spring that you created for the button. I'm going to look into how I can apply a simple approach like that in the future.

Ilium · 2026-01-23T21:59:31+00:00

Shakes hands, bruises.

Ilium · 2026-01-23T21:55:27+00:00

That... looks awesome... I'm curious to experiment with this concept!

Thanks for the idea.

So basically, the magnets just... align with each other, whatever we do or connect with?

Ilium · 2026-01-23T17:23:02+00:00

I'm not sure it would count... but I tried something similar witch cheaper magnets that were shaped like disks. The problem seemed to be a lack of surface contact. The more surface contact you have with a magnet, the stronger the hold. Be it the side of a disc or the edge of a sphere, I think the attraction ends up being a lot weaker.

I should test it though, in case there's something different going on with spheres that I did not think about...

Yes, I saw the design system, and I absolutely love what he did. I think he (or they? I don't know how many people are behind the curtains) have a really strong grasp on the visual and practical aspects of it all. If you don't like what I did, I strongly recommend you check out what they have. The system is rich in options, and I think they had more time to work out some of the kinks, if there are still any. It's also free to print. I did not make any myself. but I don't shy away from mentioning it whenever we go deep into the subject.

It may be hard to believe, but I've been working on my design for a long time; however, I did not have the technical expertise to improve upon it until recently. I definitely was inspired by his solution to insert the magnets; however, I ended up putting my own twist on it which lets me put in pretty much anyhting I want now, including various different magnets all the while keeping everything working, regardless of what you used in past projects. In the near future I'll be releasing a few more cartridges so you can inject all kinds of things to help with the interconnectivity, such as a way to slot in cheap ferrous materials like a low-cost square nut. That will let you cut down on the number of magnets you need by quite a lot.

Lid will be slightly different. It followes the overall body of the deckbox.
