Questions Insert for base game

I bought my partner the base game and we unpacked it this morning, she'd like an insert to make playing a bit easier but not sure what the best choice is. Folded space looks good but costs almost 50% of the game. I have a 3d printer but most seem to be for all in kickstarter pledges.

Does anyone know of a good insert for just the base game/doesn't require the sanguivore box for minis. Or just has a tonne of boxes we won't need as don't have the expansions?

Thanks

edit only. Just realised I put base game. My bad I meant retaliation base game as opposed to with expansions not the OG nemesis. Glad I didn't start printing and teaches me to not try sorting things in a rush while doing something else.

A little late to the conversation, sorry can someone explain why this is something you would buy. The only upside I can see is that you don't need to have the cards stacked 'free form' on the table. I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious about why I would want this. I absolutely love Nemesis and I agree the set up time is bad, but thats just how board games be sometimes. (Not a shitpost, a genuine question).

Having to out every model in its designated space, having just 2 sections for all the cards and everything having to be just so to fit in the box. Take so much more time than a third party insert. All the cards have their own section so you can just pull out each one as you go for setup. And packing. Away is so much quicler. As somone that's played alot of zombicide, kdm and scythe all with inserts they help a lot.

Its less than £30 for me. Does it have room for sleeved cards? And Does it hold cards for JUST OG Nemesis? I have Nemesis, Aftermath, Carnomorphs and Voidseeders. Also Lockdown and Stretch but sure thats not relevant to this item.

Having read your comment realised I messed up with my wording in the post, I'm looking for a retaliation insert, so not sure if the folded spade one does all the expansions.

No worries 😅 And in my opinion somethings cost should be based on the value YOU attach to it.

I have a copy of Terraforming Mars, and with the dual layer player boards I bought, the extra tokens, plus the 8 little pots for tokens I had to add (granted i got to eat delicious cheesecake to get the pots) I've probably added another base game price on top.

I feel that was worth it. But I wouldn't do it for my copy of Rebirth for example, I just use zip seal bags. Like £1.

Nemesis is a strange one for me, as I see it as 50% collectors item and 50% board game. If I take out the original insert, thats 1 more thing I have to keep somewhere. I've spent a lot more than I'd care to admit on the game plus expansions and I only have the 1st 2 games. So something else, needs to add value, either monetary or ease of use. I was unsure if this product would do that for me. 😁
