Gloomhaven- Minimalist Player Dashboard / Storage

This is a Gloomhaven Player Dashboard / Storage solution for games where HP/XP are tracked with a helper app, and thus don't need the extra mechanisms that some existing solutions use.

Description

There are a lot of really cool and feature-ful Gloomhaven player dashboards here already, but none of them exactly matched my needs.  Specifically, I wanted a solution that:

• Stores all cards and tokens that a player needs during a scenario, and for leveling up
• DOESN'T track HP and XP (we use Gloomhaven Helper, which tracks all of that for you)
• Some accommodation for use during gameplay, without taking up too much space
• Minimized use of filament

Finding none existing, I designed my own (from scratch, although I heavily borrowed some design elements from other designs).  

Features

• Front slot for active/ongoing abilities.  Includes numbered divots to track how many uses of the ability have been used (sized for the character token).
• Side slots for discarded / burned ability cards.  
• Angled draw area for Attack Modifier deck, for easier drawing.
• Small compartment under Attack Modifier deck for storing character tokens
• Uses the character placard as a cover during storage
• Optional dividers for locked/unlocked ability cards, unused attack modifier cards, and un-equipped equipment.
• Fairly small footprint, but it DOES NOT fit inside the original stuff-boxes
• Stacks with other copies of the same design (if you add hot-glue feet, see Postprocessing)
• Large enough for sleeved cards
• The walls and bottom are made fairly thin, to conserve filament.  
• Character sheet can be folded once to fit under the “lid”, or folded twice to fit in with the Ability cards.  I couldn't figure out a great way to fit it in without folding, since it's a weird size compared to everything else.

Variations

Flat Bottom vs Skeletonized

The skeletonized version has several cutouts on the bottom to save filament without affecting functionality.  The full version has a full flat bottom, if you're worried about the bottom card getting damaged by putting it on a rough surface or something.

Optional - Dividers (with or without Text)

These are just really thin sheets that fit into the card areas, with a thumb divot on one end and a slight extension on the other.  They can be used to separate your active hand from your “sideboard”, your unlocked cards from your higher level cards, and/or keep your equipment separate from your Attack Modifier deck during storage.  

For the ambitious, there is a variation of each set of dividers with lettering that can be printed in a different color for a splashier way to differentiate things.  The font is Pirata One (the Gloomhaven title font).  This overprinting process can be a bit fiddly to slice and print if you don't have a multi-material printer, but the results are pretty cool when they work out.  

The included files have the lettering and the base included in the same stl file.  In your slicer, you will have to separate them into parts, and then assign them different colors/"extruders".  

Here are some resources for multi-color “inlay” printing:

There is also a NoLabel version.

Printing

Optimized for 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle (although 0.6 should work just fine). 

Doesn't need supports, rafts, or brims.  (If you're worried about the corners curling up, you could add some mouse ears, but I didn't find them necessary.)  If your machine isn't tuned for 60 degree overhangs, you may need to add support under the Attack Modifier angled area for the skeletonized version.

PLA works just fine, I'm sure you could use other materials if you wanted.

3 perimeters should be fine (most of the walls are only 2-3 perimeters thick).  The only place where infill might be needed is to support the Attack Modifier angled area on the Flat Bottom version.  I printed mine with 0% infill and they worked fine, but if your printer isn't tuned to print unsupported 60 degree slopes, then use whatever infill is necessary to support it.

For best results, turn the model 45 degrees on the print bed.

Post-Processing

Feet (optional)

To keep the box from sliding around on smooth surfaces, you can add two lines of hot-glue to the bottom of the box.  The slightly indented areas on the bottom line up with the side slots (Dashboard version only), so if you put the glue in these areas only then the boxes will stack pretty securely with each other.  I recommend getting a sheet of parchment paper, putting a thin line of glue onto each recessed area, and then placing the box down on the parchment paper while the glue is still hot.  It will form a flatter bottom, and once it's cooled it should peel off the parchment paper with no problem.  If you added too much glue and it spreads out past the marked area, you may need to cut it back with a utility knife.  If the glue doesn't stick to the print, try roughing up the surface by scoring it with a knife or some course sandpaper.  

Updates 

[Coming soon] Dashboard vs Storage Only

The Storage-Only version will not include the front or side slots (although it still has the angled Attack Modifier draw area), if you only want the box for storage purposes.  It uses a bit less filament and is a bit smaller (maybe even small enough to fit in the tuck box?!)
