Can anyone advise how I would go about making a game box insert with this file: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/257845/3d-insert ? Would it be something to print in plastic on a 3D printer? I've never done anything like this, but this game urgently needs an organizing system. The box had rule books in FIVE languages but no storage whatsoever, aside from lots of mini bags of meeples.

If you have a 3D printer you can use the file you linked to and print out the insert.  If not, there are LOTS of places that will print for you and ship to your address once you provide the files.  I have not used these services, so I can't comment on price or quality or recommend one over another.

There are also places to buy pre-made inserts (https://www.inserthere.me/productdisplay/jerusalem-anno-domini for example) that are sometimes wooden or foam core or plastic.

Good luck in finding something that works for you!

The Regina Public Library has 3D printers available for use. I think you take a short course to be eligible to use them and then they are available for your use at a small cost to pay for the filament.

Thanks! I'd never heard of Insert Here before. I'll try the homemade version first but it's good to know I have options. :)
