Parametrized Dominion (or other card game) box

thingiverse

This was inspired by Miklbr's box, a Thingiverse project that seeks to achieve similar objectives with greater end-user customizability. It lacks the trays for base cards, but users can name and size their own slots, configure the size and depth of the slots, and control other aspects of the box's dimensions. The label-making process is a bit of a hack, I'm afraid. There are three different versions available, none of which are entirely satisfactory. One option prints labels directly on the side of the box, requiring extensive support and potentially resulting in poor quality output. Another approach involves producing a separate plate to be glued onto the box; however, my printer struggled with unacceptably lousy text, but others may find it works better. The last method requires copying and pasting SCAD output into a template. If the LaTeXLabels module is executed by OpenSCAD, it produces a substantial amount of TikZ code that can be copied and pasted into the attached .tex template (excluding "ECHO: " and quotation marks) to create custom labels. Those unfamiliar with LaTeX and TikZ may find this approach confusing, so they might want to design their own labels or explore alternative methods. If users prefer a different output format feasible from OpenSCAD's echo command, please let me know and I can add the functionality. Additionally, those who want Dominion-style price tags in the LaTeX output will need to install the Dominion Symbols font and use XeLaTeX; otherwise, they can remove lines 4 and 5 from boxtemplate.tex and every reference to the "\dominion" command from the code.
