Vertical Deck Stand

thingiverse

This is a vertical deck holder, designed to save table space for games that use many decks of cards (like Sentinels of the Multiverse). The holder take slightly less table space than a standard deck of cards, and holds both the deck and its associated discard pile. Aside from saving space, it's also just a way to make the table neat by keeping decks and discard piles together and cleanly away from everything else on the table. I'd suggest printing them in a variety of bold colours, so if you're playing a game where player pieces/boards are colour-coded, you can co-ordinate with these so they double as a nice visual reminder of which player is which colour. It's designed so that decks will naturally angle in towards the middle, but won't fall out if they're angled outwards. The front and back have DECK/DISCARD embossed to make it clear which is which, just in case someone loses track of which way around their holder is. The design is pretty simple, and should be printable without supports on basically anything. I've said to go for 0.2 resolution and 25% infill, but you can probably drop both of these further if you like - aside from the embossing, there aren't really any fine details to be lost here. At worst, there may be more visible "stepping" of the slight slopes. I'd advise having ironing turned on, if you have that option, so the flat surface at the bottom of the tray comes out a bit smoother. The internal and external edges are all rounded off in the design to minimise any potential damage to cards, but depending on how smooth your printer tends to get things, you may want to do some checks and perhaps sand things down a bit, just in case. That hasn't been necessary for my prints, despite how sloppy my printer got them!
