Modular Board Game Card/Piece Stand ver 1.0

myminifactory

Inspired by this modular card and piece holder I found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1510222, I created my own design from scratch in FreeCAD with several key differences. First, I designed much larger pins for a better friction fit. Second, I angled the modules at 15 degrees away from vertical when one is mounted on the face of another. The examples pictured were printed on a Prusa i3 Mk3 using default PLA settings and a 5mm brim. I strongly recommend using the brim because without it, prints tend to warp in the corners, ending up curved - although they still fit together just fine. To remove the small supports included in the design, follow these steps: score them where they meet the part with side cutters, then remove them with a box cutter and finish with a dremel. When testing for fit, be careful not to apply too much force - if you feel resistance, stop immediately and remove a bit more material from the support side of the pins. Also uploaded to Thingiverse.
