Synnical 3 Posted March 24, 2019 Looking for suggestions on a tray that holds all the maneuver and range ruler templates with a lid. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chudley 84 Posted March 24, 2019 Looks great. Too expensive for delivery. I think I’ll try making one myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the interest of being more useful, here's my printable template to do the cutouts yourself. It's made to be printed on a Letter-sized piece of paper, it'll probably go very wrong on A4 paper. You can use a jigsaw, scrollsaw or even a dremel with the routing bit (or a router with a tiny straight bit) to do most of it, then sand or file to get the fit perfect. Once your first layer is cut out, line it up with the second layer and trace small cutouts in the tips of the templates to be able to lift them easily. I do the bank and range rules on both ends. The lid is just a slightly large piece of hardboard with strips glued all around the edge. Plan how you'll lift it out though. My tray has 2 corner cutouts, my son's has two cutouts on the side (the pic is pre-cutout). I meant to try to embed magnets to help them stay closed, but we more or less stopped going to tournaments, so it wasn't necessary anymore. Should be easy to do though.

Rodafowa 2,483 Posted March 24, 2019 If you’re in the UK, Cog O’ Two do some really nice trays. I got one of the small double-layered trays a couple of months ago and it’s beautiful. 1 Jarval reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C3gorach 188 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) From the UK is BuyTheSameToken as well. I have purchased his Feldherr Mini Bag compatible acrylic template tray and I am extremely satisfied!

Dr Zoidberg 3,200 Posted March 25, 2019 Bought one of these a few years back. Had to glue it together myself (but that was an easy five minute job). Have been very happy with it. https://www.warmage.de/X-Wing-STAW-D-DAW/transport-solutions/Tournament-Tray.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeshmoe554 839 Posted March 25, 2019 I built this a while back. It doesn't have a lid but it does a good job of holding all my maneuver templates and taking up a very small amount of table space. 7 fantomenos, Dr Zoidberg, Rodafowa and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd recommend non-painted, don't like the paint. Also they have a fehlder-mini size that has 2x smaller trays room for misc tokens. I have an don't even have but have the mini, its great.

I want to like these, but no r3 ruler space, and the arrangement of the templates are weird (e.g. the type of template's are not grouped together). Maybe still make sense if you love the idea of using a lunchbox though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's beautiful, but I had a wooden template holder that was of a very similar design and constantly had issues with it getting knocked over. Not everyone is as much of an oaf as me, but that's the reason I swapped over to a tray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heychadwick 11,357 Posted March 26, 2019 I did Highbridge Design and suggested he create a lid for them. I met him at GenCon last year and told me it was a great idea. Sells like hotcakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a lot less convenient than having it in a proper top-access tray. Plus it don't fit in the lunch tin like this, so why bother? There's also a stick-on r3 holder for the tin, better but still kinda awkward. Would probably be great if they upzised the system to felhder-mini size. Too cramped as-is.

Jyico 897 Posted March 26, 2019 I personally think the FeldHerr mini sized items are perfect for game table and size. I run a template tray, range ruler tray + token tray, and Lid with edges when I attend tournaments. Works really well and I got the setup from Cog-O-Two (then customized edges on the lid to not spill stuff between tables/rounds). Buythesametoken has the same size and idea. District Foundry has really good stuff in a slightly smaller size. The range ruler is too big to fit in a lunchbox but we've got a collapsible range ruler coming anyway if you're worried about that. The lunchbox setup would be my go-to if I didn't already have the Feldherr mini setup. I also have friends that have modified the 1/4" foam with cutouts and such. Also works great for just range rulers and templates, but not tokens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
