Feature: Token Tray Creator

[superkrm]

I think this would be helpful for Boardgame Insert designers or people who wants something a little simpler than Gridfinity.

Being able to do this in layeringling with the hollow tool or its own separate tool would be cool.

@superkrm Thanks for the idea, token trays are a nice use case! You can get quite close today with the Gridfinity shape: a bin can have compartments (columns and rows) and finger scoops on each side, which is exactly what makes tokens easy to scoop out. It sticks to the 42 mm grid and has the Gridfinity foot, though. Without that, you can build a tray by hand: a Rounded Box, Box holes for the compartments, and then round the bottom edges of the holes with the Edge tool.

@mlugo-apx the Gridfinity bins are your work: would a plain "tray" type interest you, with a free size in mm and a flat bottom, but the same compartments and scoops? That would cover board game inserts nicely.

If you'd like to support the project, a small donation is very welcome. Thank you!

@henmedia yes, I'd like to build it: a Tray type for the Gridfinity shape, with a free width, depth and height in mm, a flat bottom without the foot or the stacking lip, and the same compartments, dividers and finger scoops as a bin. I'll start once the baseplate corner radius (#856) is in.

@mlugo-apx thank you, that sounds just right: a tray with a free size, a flat bottom and the bins' compartments and scoops covers board game inserts nicely. @superkrm mlugo-apx built the Gridfinity bins, so the tray is in good hands.

@superkrm the Tray type for the Gridfinity shape is out in 1.112.0, built by @mlugo-apx: a free size in mm, a flat bottom, and the compartments and finger scoops of a bin.

Nice!
