Description

FEATURES

Besides the eye-catching locking mechanism, there are also further features, wich make this deck box unique. There are two storage compartments for small dice or tokens. And the door also acts as command zone. Just slide your commander in from the bottom and you're good to go. This updated version of the box can now hold up to 100 sleeved Magic The Gathering, Pokemon or other trading cards comfortably.

PRINTING

Material

I used 3DJakes magicPLA and ecoPLA Refill.

Supports

Only the Bolts need some supports. Although printing the files Door and Body presupposes some bridging. If you are printing very hot or some less suitable material for bridging like PETG, you might want to support these parts as well.

Orientation

I'd recommend printing all files in the orientation, they are uploaded.

ASSEMBLY

Take the Center Part 1 and insert the 10 Bolts.
Put the Center Part 2 onto the first part and press them together pretty hard.
Now, stack all of this onto the Top 2 part. Make sure that the side with the depressions in the corners is facing downwards. Then put the Top 1 onto it.
Try to rotate the Center Part while holding the top in place.
If the Bolts go in and out well, take off the Top 2 and pour some glue into the pentagonal hole in the middle.
Put the removed part back on again and make sure that the Center Part is still able to rotate!
Now, take the Body part and slide the door into it.
Finally, insert the Top with all the bolts retracted. Rotate the upper part of the box counter clockwise until it is locked.

Is there a video of the assembly somewhere? I just cannot get the center to twist at all, reprinted twice now, with the profile provided. I feel like the error is on my end though

Hi, i've just uploaded a gif that shows how the lid is assembled. I hope that solves your problem. If not, you could check whether your tolerances are correct. You should be able to slide the bolts back and forth easily without the top part assembled.

Replying to @gimpelginster :

I'm in the same boat as yesferro, it feels like there's not enough clearance and it's binding on something. If I heavily force it, it clicks over, but it's there's a lot of friction.

@gimpelginster

@rhysistance I am sorry to hear that. My versions are moving freely, so I don’t know what the problem might be. One thing you could try is to determine the source of the friction by assembling the part step by step and continuously checking wether it still moves. Maybe the bolts are a little over extruded? If that still doesn’t work, could you perhaps post a picture of te mechanism. Maybe I’ve overlooked something.

Im currently having a Issue with plate 5, about 30% through the machine keeps increasing travel speed and causing weak infill walls as well as holes in the outer walls.

The designer has replied

@gimpelginster

I’m sorry you’re having issues with the print profile. In the files upload, I left the speed settings untouched, thus I don’t know where the speed increases comes from. You could try to slice the stl yourself and see if that works.

Replying to @gimpelginster :

I figured it out, it wasnt the settings, the filiment i purchased was faulty. it doesnt have a consistient melt rate resulting in thin walls and brittle structures. sorry for the confusion.

@gimpelginster

No problem! I’m glad I worked in the end

@Rhysistance

Any chance of a double sleeved box?

The designer has replied

@gimpelginster

The next iteration will definitely come with a larger compartment since many people have requested compatibility with double sleeved decks. But I can’t say when it will be ready.

@gimpelginster

My new v4 Deck Box has a much wider storage compartment (75mm), enough to fit a double sleeved commander deck. You can find the model here https://makerworld.com/en/models/506783?from=search
