"Thick Drip" Deck Box | Magic: the Gathering Case by Filament Owl MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models
Another day, another deck box concept! This time, I wanted to do something more artistic and colourful. It took me four trials re-modeling the same deck from scratch to get the perfect smooth curvature on the edges!CardsThis deck box fits 60 single-sleeved standard 88 mm x 63 mm cards. This is the default format for Magic: the Gathering and Pokemon cards.Looking for the 100 CARDS VERSION? Find it HERE.UpdateNew lid profiles (August 7th). After many feedbacks, I created a new profile with a more loose fitting lid. That should help people that previously had trouble with too much friction. It also helps with the installation of magnets.100 cards version (August 8th). It's now available here.Boost MePaint some colour on my work with a free boost! Printing instructionsChoose two of your favourite brightest colours and print each part separately! This deck box comes into two variants:Base variant (yellow and magenta in the sample pictures): only the top and bottom part.Droplets variant (blue and green in the sample pictures): top, bottom and the droplets. The bottom part has circular inserts to slot in the droplets after printing.Each variant comes with two fitting profiles:Tight. The lid fits tightly on the base. Magnets are not needed. Depending on your filament shrinkingproperties, this fit may be too tight. Loose. The lid fits loosely on the base. This fitting works best with magnets to keep the two halves in place.I found through my tests that both provide enough grip to remain closed, either by friction or by magnetism.

Smooth PEI (high-temperature)Suggest nozzle. 0.4mmSuggest layer height. 0.2 for a quick print; 0.12 to 0.16 (or adaptive) for more aesthetically pleasing circlesAssembly instructionsOriginally, I envisioned this deck as a snap-fit deck using eight 8x2 mm magnets. You can see each part has hidden magnet holes to install 8x2 mm magnets. However, after printing this twice, I noticed that the friction between top and bottom parts of the case are enough to hold the content firmly in place. Feel free to glue in the magnets for an extra strong closure, however, I don't think they are needed! Your choice of filament and the shrinkage property of your filament may anyway produce slightly looser parts. In that case, magnets will be useful. If you are not using magnets and you print using standard Bambu Lab filaments, you may find it useful to wiggle the lid left and right to close it instead of pushing and pulling it directly along the vertical axis.
