Ultimate Card Box v4

thingiverse

The *NEW* Ultimate Card Box!!! Now with even more options vs the previous versions. But also easier than ever 3d printing and customization. The thingiverse listing here has single sleeve options for 75 card and 100 card tcg decks. For all options please visit the listing on pintables here: https://www.printables.com/model/253827-ultimate-card-box Thingiverse will not let me upload zip files anymore nor make folders and this box has over 120 unique versions/files. Assembly: Simply download and print a matching Box/Lid pair. Rather than a spring powered latch found in previous versions, v4 uses common 8x2mm "fridge" magnets that can be found at many craft stores, harbor freight, or amazon/AliExpress for very cheap. So after you print your files then super glue the magnets into their "U" shaped, easy to print homes noting polarity so it holds closed rather than open. The hinge is made from a piece of unprinted 1.75mm filament. Versions Available Trading Card Games (Tested with Magic the Gathering cards with Dragon shield sleeves, kmc perfect inner sleeves, should work fine for other TCGs) 40 card [MTG Drafts, YuGiOh] Variants available to hold standard Mtg Drafts/Pre-release decks and extra pulls 60 card [Standard Decks] 75 card [Standard with 15 card Sideboards] 100 card [MTG Commander] Pre-customized versions with mtg mana symbols: 6x single colors (including colorless) 10x two color guilds 10x classic three color wedges 5x four color WUBRG/Rainbow/5 Color 180 card* 2x100 card [2x Commander, "Battle of Wits" deck] 2x180 card* [Basic MTG Cube] UNO/Phase 10/alike (~100 small cards) *Untested as of 8/2/2022, made using math/estimates, may be too large for some printers/fragile in use Many boxes have similar dimensions (180 card no sleeve and 100 double sleeve are only 1mm apart) and may serve more purposes than listed. No sleeve and Uno/Card game box are smaller by 4mm in width and height. Counting the pre-customized and variants, the master file has 126 VERSIONS. I plan on updating this with customized version for Capenna 3 color combos, Catan resource cards, and maybe even normal playing cards. And posting some makes/photos. Version History: v0.1 ~2017: First successful print, but required sanding a lot of post print work to fit cards. The hinge on this one was paper/tape, no locking mechanism and held 60 single sleeved cards. v0.2 ~2017: I went for more of the ultra pro design adding an area for dice behind the cards, an idea for a latch system was made and entire box more than tripled in size. Hinge design used m4 screws as the "pins". I didn't spend enough time before printing this design and it was nonfunctional and still required a lot of internal cleaning and sanding but held 75 cards. v0.3 ~2018: Combining ideas from v2 with v1, I took the latch from v2 and put it onto a v1 with a simple paperclip hinge. v0.4 ~2018: Made walls a little thicker/stronger and simplified hinge to remove odd loop in paperclip, opting to just cut to length or bend the ends down. v1.0 2/18/2018: First Public release, also first >100 card version. Can still be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2793367 v2.0 4/17/2018: An update to v1 called the "Beefy" Box at the time, on the same Thingiverse link as above. Made the case walls excessively thick to hide imperfections in prints and accommodate the other change: a move from one latch at the bottom to one on each side to stop the box from opening if turned upside down. v3.0 5/07/2019: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3677555 Called the "Ultimate" at the time Honestly was a lot of v2 boxes of new varieties and sizes. The new v3 box only came in a few flavors and was a little easier to print/assemble. At this time, I was losing interest in TCG and my first printer went down so much of it was untested and had many things that made some of the boxes unprintable. v3.1 8/01/2022: Went in and fixed the most common boxes in v3 so they could be printed. v4.0 8-05/2022: Re-made from the ground up and tested extensively on the Lottmax Shark 2 printer, v4 looks to fix issues I have with my old design. Changes since v3: Internal geometry free and manifold Tweaked angles and print orientation to print without supports Fixed inconsistencies in angles and slopes, and center points Removed curves in favor for bevels and beveled more edges like those on the lid Material usage has been reduced by ~60% (between v1 and v2/v3; roughly the same size as the Boulder by ultimate Guard) More consistent hinge assemble (old tolerances require almost perfect print to use filament piece) Original latch mechanism is now depreciated, in favor for 8x2mm magnets in the lid & body.
