MTG - Latching Deck Box - One Piece Print

thingiverse

I modify the design of the MTG box to print in one piece, without needing to snap anything together. Simply print and remove any supports from the outside. Note that the pictured print is an older model before updates. Please see below for what changes have been made, as preview images show the updated model. I was inspired by some latching boxes on Thingiverse and decided to turn it into a MTG box. I started with this box: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:82620. Unfortunately, my file had a wonky hinge, so I had to remake it from scratch and scale the latch. As a result, I ended up with a piece that barely fit on my printer - in fact, it didn't fit at all. Halfway through the print, it suddenly shifted about 1mm to one side. Edit Jan 17, 2016 I completed the first test print using LOW quality and was pleased with the result. The hinge and latch worked perfectly, thanks to the user anewsome for their contribution. However, I did notice some issues. Apart from my printer causing the model to shift, the top and bottom didn't exactly line up because I had never made a hinge before. I fixed this alignment problem. In addition, I liked the idea of using the area with various mana symbols as an exile zone, but when the box was closed and latched, the dice could roll around if flipped upside down. So, I removed the exile area and made sure the dice wouldn't roll even if the deck box was flipped over. I also added another finger hole at the far end of the library/graveyard for better usability - or rather, to use less filament and print faster.
