Pathfinder Location Deck

thingiverse

My son and I are die-hard fans of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, and as a proud owner of a 3D Printer, I decided to design a simple little holder for location decks that can hold the deck and display the location card at the same time in a smaller space. The deck holder prints in two parts and then the top attaches to the bottom through basic pins and holes, which allows it to close fully and open up to a 110 degree angle. When you're finished with a location take the location card out, close the holder, and place the card on top with the closed side face up. My design is tailored specifically for 3D printing and as such doesn't include some features that I'd like to see but would make it hard to impossible to print or at least require supports, so simplicity is key. On my MendelMax 3 printer, these latest versions print perfectly and everything operates smoothly. However, on some printers you might have to lightly sand the sides of the bottom depending on your resolution and tolerances. I've added a .1 or .2 clearance here and there to keep it all tight but able to move freely. The objects pass STL checks and should slice without any problems. For my printer with my settings, it takes about 90 minutes to print both parts. You can speed up the process of course by increasing layer height and print speeds. You'll need one pair of parts for each location you normally have in play. Printer: MendelMax 3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 - .3 Infill: 20% Notes: Nothing special, they should print fine with the above settings in the orientation they import in. The top does have to small overhangs but I've ramped them and they print perfectly for me in PLA with cooling. You might have to clean those up if your printer has trouble with overhangs of 3mm or more. Using PVA or 3DEez, I've not had to use brims or rafts. With ABS or some filament prone to curling you might need to use a raft or brim. If it does curl unless it's truly awful curling it shouldn't impact the functionality of the parts.
