Several crossing and branching dividers create a dense arrangement of smaller compartments.

BGI / EXAMPLE 61Dimensions in mm

Rendered assembled view of Recursive Crossing and T Grid — The assembled insert.

The translucent outer shell shows the game box interior. Translucent blue objects are existing containers.
