LED Lamp Kit Collection

Description

A custom-built solution for efficiently digitizing Magic: The Gathering card collections using the Manabox app, combining 3D printing technology with smart LED lighting.

Key Components

3D printed enclosure optimized for card dimensions
Bambulab Makersupply LED for consistent illumination
Smartphone mount for stable scanning

Features

Perfect card positioning for quick scanning (also with sleeves)
Controlled lighting environment to minimize reflections
Ergonomic design for extended scanning sessions
Compatible with most smartphone models

This DIY scanner solution significantly speeds up the process of digitizing Magic card collections into the Manabox app, making collection management more efficient and enjoyable.

Just some remarks from my testing experience. Sleeved cards are quite hard to scan due to some glare effects. To fit the sleeved cards, of course the unsleeved cards slide around a little bit when scanning (gently shaking the box helps though).

If you have ideas for improvement please reach out.

Made a small change to your model to use a battery LED light so I don't have to run wires, if its permitted I'd upload a remix (but basically its just removing the middle wall and thickening the outside a bit)

Great improvement 👍 No Problem from my perspective to upload it as a remix. 😊👍

Replying to @peter.erwig :

Cool stuff :) if you could activate the permissions for remixing I'll upload it~

Adding the spot for the light is genius, this one works SUPER well!

@eMitch

love the built in light idea. i was testing my own version of this and was thinking it would be nice to add a lift on the bottom which slants the whole unit to the top right corner. that way, whenever you drop a card in, it will always shift to the corner and properly align itself. of course, you’d have to add a couple of stopper to keep the phone from sliding off. would make the card drops more consistent though.

Thanks for your feedback. I came up with the lighting idea during our draft session. We used a second phones flashlight to light the scanner properly, which wasn’t that handy 😅 The lifting idea is interesting. It could maybe be solved by some kind of slope 🧐

This is an underrated model! if I may make a suggestion - have a pic showing the illumination as the main pic so people can see the benefit of this design

@peter.erwig

Thank you for the idea I will do that :-)

bit disappointed it doesn't fold into itself to be compact to store, but it works well

@Thomzd

hey can anyone show me an example of a card photographed with VS without light on please ? I'm wondering if it is really worth it ! thanks :)
