Dominion Card Sleds

Dominion Card Sleds by bhigenaka Inspired by Stackable Catan Card Holder by chzhed. I had been looking for quite a while for a solution to hold my sleeved Dominion cards. There were are some good options out there for those who have access to lasercutters, but for those of us looking to 3D print our solution really didn’t have many choices. In addition, I wanted something modular that could be taken apart for storage as well as something that would allow for flexible assembly based on the expansions being used. (I still haven’t made a specific card holder for Adventures or the new Empires cards that collect tokens - but it is on my to-do list!). I was also interested in making sure that taking the top card of the stack would be as easy as possible. My games are often slowed down when I can’t get the card off the stack without knocking it into other stacks! I apologize for the crappy photo, but here are the features that this solution provides: Cards are contained so they may not slide around on a sled designed to hold sleeved Dominion cards Modular approach for flexibility in setup Tabs connect sleds together in a row for stability Small tabs can be used to connect rows together into one large unit Cards are held at an angle, so they may be easily taken one at a time from the right-hand side Sled supports the cards from below on the top, bottom, and left sides, so that the entire stack may be easily picked up from the right side and swapped when setting up a new game This solution allows you to print as many as you want of just what you want. Some people will find that only having the 10 Supply cards in sleds will do the trick. Others will want to have holders for all their cards in play. Hopefully, there is a combination here that will work for everyone. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: High Infill: 20% Notes: You might have to adjust the size of the tabs (or, do as I did, and shave them down slightly after printing). I set them up to provide a lot of wiggle room, but when I printed them, I found them to be so tightly fitting that they risk breaking off when taken back apart. I bought tiny plastic adhesive feet from Amazon. They were very cheap and once they are in place, they stay in place. This keeps the sled from moving around on the table, and when all the sleds have feet, the setup sticks firmly in place. It was a huge improvement to the sleds for a very minimal investment. A key to the files: DCS.1.Standard: A sled for one set of 10-12 sleeved cards (usually Supply cards or Victory cards). This sled is designed to be a "top row" sled, and doesn't have a bottom wall. The bottom is designed to be supported by the sled underneath it. DCS.1.StandardBottomRow: A sled for one set of 10-12 sleeved cards (usually Supply cards or Victory cards). This sled is designed to serve as the "bottom row" of the setup, as it includes a bottom wall to support the cards independently. This may come in handy for those who would like to set up their Victory cards in a separated row. DCS.3.Copper: Designed to hold a ton of Copper cards in sleeves. The design includes a bottom wall to give the option for the Treasure row to be independent. DCS.3.Silver.Platinum.Spoils: As the name describes, this sled is designed to hold Treasure cards other than Copper. The design includes a bottom wall as well as the walls are higher than the standard sled. DCS.Cornercap.Bottom1 (Bottom2, Top1, Top2): These are designed to cover up the protruding tabs on the outside corners of a setup. I never got much past designing these and don't use them regularly myself. They may need some work. DCS.Peg: These pieces are designed to lock together the rows by fitting into the sleds top to bottom. I haven't glued them in yet, and without glue they tend to fall out anytime the sleds are moved. I provided a photo of what they look like in place underneath. DCS.Endcap: This piece will cover up the exposed tabs on the lefthand side of a setup as well as provide stability by locking the ends of the rows together. Endcaps can also be used on the righthand side by using pegs.
