Dikke Week box

This 3D-printed box is specially designed for the Urk card game Dikke Week and serves as a compact, sturdy storage solution for playing cards. The design combines functional protection with a clear local and cultural appeal.

Shape and Construction

The box consists of a rectangular base with a hinged lid, executed as one cohesive mechanical design. The lid closes with two integrated snap closures at the front, ensuring reliable locking during transport and storage. The hinges are robust and suitable for repeated opening and closing without mechanical wear.

Inside, the box is precisely dimensioned for a deck of playing cards, with minimal clearance to prevent sliding or damage.

Visual Design

The exterior features a deep blue base color, with decorative accents in red and white, inspired by maritime and local Urk color schemes. On the top of the lid, a relief illustration of a fish is placed centrally above the text “Dikke week”.

These elements are modeled as recesses or raised features, making them suitable for multi-color 3D prints or filament changes without post-processing.
