Foldable PrintInPlace Card-/Token-/Resourcetray

<p>There are several great designs for cardholders or resource trays. Most of the time those are rather 'bulky'.</p><p>With this design, I tried to come from a different angle. I created the trays in such a way that during storage/transport, they can be stored flat.</p><p>They have a height of 4mm. In that way, they can even be stored in the game boxes for bringing them to the game night.</p><p>They can be transformed into card holders (front doors open) or resource/token trays (front doors closed).</p><p>With this initial release, I created two sizes: one for mini European card sleeves (47x70 sleeve size) and standard card sleeves (66x91 sleeve size).</p><p><strong>Printing:</strong><br>The models are full print-in-place files. Tolerances for the hinges should be manageable by a lot of printers (hopefully). After printing, it can be that some force is required to break all pieces from their counterparts.<br>The locking mechanism for the front and back walls is tight. But after a few closing and openings, they should get easier with still giving enough grip that the tray doesn't fall apart.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printer Settings:</strong></p><p>To save printing time and filament print with 0 solid top and bottom layer.</p><p>Regarding stability, I found that <i>Honeycomb </i>or <i>Grid </i>Infill looks best and provides enough stability. <i>10</i>% infill will be enough if you plan to use it mainly for cards or bigger tokens, otherwise, for the highest flexibility, I suggest printing with a <i>15</i>% infill.</p><p>The hinges and different locking mechanisms are designed to work with a layer height of 0.2.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Description of file naming:</strong></p><p>TolXX: Tolerance within the hinge</p><p>ClearXX: Tolerance between the different bodies (e.g. floor and the walls)</p><p>XXxYYxZZ: Dimension of the holder where fitting cards when the front doors open - I suggest selecting those that fit most of your playing cards as a resource tray there is more flexibility.</p><p><strong>Test prints:</strong></p><p>I created for each combination of tolerance and clearance a test print. Use this to identify which ones works best for you. It contains the hinge design as well as the locking mechanism. And you can see if you need (or even can) break the interlocking part of the front door.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Future:</strong></p><p>I plan to create further models (also with a lower wall size). The parametric design is still not so robust for a release to the public.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Update 17.11.2022:</strong></p><ul><li>Added different options for tolerance and clearance for the individual trays.</li><li>Added test prints to try which settings fits your printer / preferences</li><li>Added 2 additional card dimensions: 73x112 and 83x83.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have requests/ideas, please send them and help me improve this idea.<br>If you like my work, please leave a like or comment as well.</p><p>Happy printing</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p>
