MTG Card Box and Tokens

When playing Magic: The Gathering with my friends, our table is constantly cluttered with dice, paper, cardboard, and really anything to help keep track of what is going on in our current game. That's when I got the idea to make some snazzy tokens to do just that. Wizards of the Coast does include cardboard tokens with certain bundles, but many consider these low-quality and not very useful during a real game. However, these plastic tokens are not only durable, but stackable! I didn't want to stop there, though, so I also developed a custom Magic themed card box to hold my decks.

Printing and Software:

• 3D Printer
• PLA 3D Printing Filament (1.75mm)
• CAD or other modeling software (Solidworks in this case)
• Ultimaker Cura

Create your 3D model for your token. Once the base of the token has been made, the words inside can simply be switched out to quickly make new versions! Resizing may be required in order to make the pieces fit together correctly. In my case, the inner octagon's diameter had to be shortened by a few hundredths of an inch.

Once your models have been made, save your files as a .stl file and upload it to Cura. Here are settings I found success with:

• 20% infill
• 58 mm/s print speed
• Supports enabled
• 200 Celsius

Everything else was left at default settings, so feel free to play around with them as needed. The files for the deck box were based on the design made by becks098 on Thingiverse. In my case, I had to optimize and change up the .stl meshes in Solidworks in order to get a solid print, but this may not be necessary. However, I do recommend separating the file into two separate pieces to print. This helps if you are using a particularly small build plate or just want to cut down on print time for individual parts.

This step may take some trial and error. I spent quite a bit of time scrapping prints and adjusting my printer, but I'm fairly happy with the final product! Patience is key, as the deck box can take quite some time to print in full, but I hope the end result is well worth it. Enjoy
