TCG deck box with print in place hinge

TCG deck box featuring a print in place hinge for easy assembly.
Box is designed to hold 100+ sleeved cards, accommodates Magic the Gathering cards.

Some features of the box:

  • space for 100+ sleeved cards
  • internal hinge guards to prevent cards getting chewed up by the hinges
  • flaps on cover to prevent cards falling out when deckbox is closed and held upside down

There are a good number of deckboxes available on Thingiverse. I wanted to create a version that takes full advantage of 3D printing, leading to this design which incorporates a hinge that is assembled on printing.

3D hinge design was adapted from the instructable by gzumwalt

Please see print section for details on printing the box.

2 further items needed for assembly:

  • super glue
  • magnetic tape or velcro tape (example of magnetic tape in images)

Assembly:
After supergluing the front (Deckbox w printable hinge front.stl) to the body (Deckbox w printable hinge body.stl), paste magnetic tape as shown in photos.
Between the cover of the body and the front, there is a 2.5 mm thick space to accommodate 2 layers of magnetic tape, assuming tape is ~1 mm thick per layer.

After the glue dries, enjoy. I would like to see how this turns out for people printing this, so if it is convenient, do share your finished products!
