3DG Announces ModCube 2.0 Is Headed To Kickstarter Soon
August 29, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
Hopefully, you remember the fantastic ModCube that we discovered at Adepticon a couple years ago. They were interchangeable cubes to use in place of individual tokens that you could customize according to specific games.
They were pretty awesome...but they're about to get even better!
We've kept in touch with 3DG and they've announced they will be returning to Kickstarter very soon with ModCube 2.0. This updated version of the ModCube has taken the brilliant idea, streamlined it and made it even easier to use.
2.0 features a 16mm cube- the same as a standard die, as opposed to the original 19mm size. This new cube has done away with the exterior supports to hold the individual token pieces within the cube by incorporating magnets. Now it's even easier to customize your ModCube by simply popping the different tokens on and off.
The tokens themselves have a thin magnetic layer on their backing to secure them to the cube- and don't you worry, all the magnetic faces are north, so the cubes are not attracted to one another (in fact they repel).
Just think of a number of tokens you could consolidate with the use of ModCubes. No more digging through bags of tokens to find the ones you need. You can tailor your cubes to the game you're playing and off you go!
3DG will have an assortment of token sets including X-Wing.
Stay tuned for much more from them as they lead into the Kickstarter.
What do you think of these new and improved ModCubes?

How easy is it to change the cube faces? I don’t see a lip for my monkey paws to get a hold of if I want to change the cube facing.
Grod, I laughed out loud about “monkey paws!” I’m the creator, and that is actually a huge reason for the 2.0 design. There will be a removal tool with each set – originally, we’d planned for just a stronger magnet, but actually the tokens stay in so tight that it’s hard for even a larger magnet to pull them out! It will most likely be a small suction cup, we’ll send one to Dawn at BoW once it is tested = )
Glad to hear it, and thanks for the reply
I hope 3DG will have an option to pick up some Deadzone cubes as part of the Kickstarter. I haven’t seen them for sale, but they make great replacements for the item crates that are used in the game, as well as command dice. Smaller frames will make it easier to use in smaller dice towers as well.
Beetle, we’ve already gotten several requests for Deadzone since the announcement went up! Any set that we have art for already is very possible as a stretch goal, and Deadzone will likely be one of the earlier ones due to how that set has been received = )
@ritides, do you have an idea of when the Kickstarter project will launch?
We’re targeting the first week of December, beetle, with fulfillment by April because we’re having the tooling made ahead of time! We’ll keep sending Dawn everything we have so keep an eye out for developments (next set: 8th edition!).
Thanks!
