The Story

This has been a huge personal project of mine for the last year and a half and Im super excited to share this design with you all! 
Its weird to feel that way over a box to hold cards, but the engineer in me wanted to keep improving and engineer a simple and smart solution. 

The deck boxes supports 100 cards sleeved with a good amount of wiggle room for token cards. All parts for the deck box are 3D printed and do not require any additional hardware or glue. 

Printing Instructions

• Suggested Plate: PEI Textured (Very reliable) or Cool Supertack (If you want a natural smooth top and bottom)
• Suggested Layer Height: 0.2 - Prints and looks great at this standard layer height. I wanted it to be easy and simple to print
• Suggested Nozzle Size: 0.4 - I wanted it to be printed universally across the board
• Support Settings: 
  • Type: Tree (Auto)
  • Style: Default
  • Build Plate Only: ✅
• Infill Settings: 10% - Gyriod (Honestly, whatever works for you)
• Wall Generator: Classic - if using Arachne, it can cause the top hinge holes to become very loose and malformed

Assembly instructions

1. Insert button latch into the button hole
2. Insert curved spring behind button latch
   1. Ive printed in multiple colors of PLA testing the spring out and different colors yield a different range of tightness. If you find that its very loose try scaling in the slicer just the spring to a non-uniform X size of 100.58% (34.85mm)
3. Insert spring cover over the spring hole - This should snap in slightly and be held in by friction, but if you want a more secure hold you can tack in on the sides with some super glue
4. Insert the top lid hinge holes onto the bottom hinge pegs
   1. This can be easily snapped on by inserting one side of the peg/hole first and snapping down the other side - This can be a tight snap but this ensures that the top lid will not come off easily

Tolerances

• Different types of filament may yield different results - Ive tested and printed this deck box loads of times on different types of filament but results may still vary (different settings, humidity, ventilation, etc…)
• I generally print using Bambu Lab printers and Bambu Lab filaments (PLA, PLA Matte, PETG)
• If you use other filament types (different materials) or vendors (different brand), the result may differ. Before posting issues about tolerances / model tightness / looseness, please consider the filament you used for the print

Feedback & Suggestions

I appreciate any and all feedback, and will do my best to make the necessary adjustments and fixes as soon as possible. Please leave any comments, questions and/or suggestions!
