Card sorter tray with slope

thingiverse

Sorting trading cards isn't always a walk in the park, especially when they're all sleeved up. I've checked out some of those sorter tray things around here, but what I really wanted was something that lets gravity do its thing to keep them aligned perfectly. The truth is, I don't need to cram multiple cards together tightly, so I'd rather have a sorted pile that's easy to take somewhere else without getting in the way. While test printing the first version of this idea, I started thinking about how to stack these sorters so they don't hog all the space when I'm not sorting. That's when it hit me - why not slope the sides so there's no need for a whole wall on one side? This makes several of them stackable, which is a huge bonus. And as an added benefit, it saves filament and print time too! Since I don't think I'd be stacking multiple sorters behind each other anyway, and we can get away with not printing the whole first card on the plate for the slope, I went ahead and designed a shorter version to save even more filament and print time. Both versions come in left and right sloped designs - take your pick! I hope this helps you out with sorting your cards too. Have a great Friday night!
