I can't find a photo of what it does. I'm on mobile so I can't use it according to your popup.

Your subreddit also doesn't include even one photo or screenshot. I would expect to see both for this product.

Is it useful? I don't even know what it does yet.

Was thinking exactly the same.

Very neat tool!

I've looked into cutting foam for board game storage, but I don't love the 5mm or so thickness. For games with lots of different little bits and pieces, the many walls to divide many containers add up and take a surprising amount of space inside the game's box.

Short of 3D printing storage solutions, I've found an online tuck-box generator for decks of cards of any size that looks neat, and another site with advice for assembling them:
