Pluggable card holder

thingiverse

All the card holders I could find were pretty bulky, so if I wanted to bring all the ones required for e.g. Dominion, I needed a bag bigger than for the game and extensions. So I created something that consists of (mostly) flat parts and can be plugged together. Assemble the "border" first, then plug in the board for the cards - it will also lock the pieces in place. I'm not completely happy with the top part. I wanted the slit for the board so it doesn't slide out too easily, esp. if you need a bigger "gap tolerance". But sticks above the board would be in the way when sliding out cards on top. So I opted for this somewhat strange looking and slightly bulky variant with the "feet" holding the side plate in place. Feel free to experiment, if you've got better ideas. Multiple holders can be connected with simple connector pieces in slits on the side. I didn't implement ones on top/bottom so far, because usually people want a bit more distance here to better reach the cards. You can select which parts to print in the customizer. "all" doesn't include the connectors, as not everybody needs them, and surely not for the first one. I recommend printing without brim or raft, if your printer allows it. Supports might be necessary for the board slits in the top part. It's the only part I rotated upright for printing, because otherwise most of it would be on top of supports (due to the "feet"). Btw., it's been decades since I last had to work with all those triangle math to make everything work with the tilted card board. I hope no error slipped in there...
