This box is designed to store a set of up to seven dice and one ore multiple decks of cards. Moreover it functions as a dice tower.

Cards compartment:
The cards compartment measures 70x70x92mm, which means it can take most playing cards as well as sleeved cards.
The cards compartment can also be divided by inserting up to six card dividers.

Card display:
The contains three different versions of the box, with two of them offering the option to display a commander card on the outside:
- sleeved or double sleeved card (max. 67x92x1,2mm).
- Mini Snap Holder hard shell sleeve (max. 69x95x5mm)

Dice compartment:
Under the iris lid hides a small dice tray, which can be removed to use the box as a dice tower.
The lid has a clever two stage mechanism, which first releases the clicking lock before opening the actual iris leafs. This makes it possible to fully open and close the lid without any friction when used as a dice tower, but also provides the option to lock the iris leafs when the lid is rotatet back all the way to secure the dice for transport.

Dice tower:
When the card deck and the dice tray is removed, the door on the bottom can be pulled out, which also moves a flap inside the box to ensure, that the dice roll out of the box. The dice door also clicks in the closed position, so it will not fall out by its own.

Assembly:
To assemble the box, the only thing needed are two pieces of 1,75mm filament which act as the hinge of the lid and the lid flap, you can then also secure the filament pieces with a small drop of CA glue.

If you decide to print the multicolor variant with seperately printed color accents, you will also need to glue the different colored pieces together.

Minimum printbed size:
160x160x160mm

-2025.05.06 - V3:
- added a new version of the design, which now allows to use a mini snap card holder (hard shell sleeve) for the display card
It was tested with Ultra Pro Mini Snap Holders. The holder must not exceed the following dimensions in order to fit:
95x69x5mm

-2025.05.11 - V4:
- slightly increased the tolerances of the snap card holder compartment to make it easier to print

These settings can be applied to every part:

• Print orientation is already correct and should not be changed
• Recommended layer height up to 0.25mm (0.2mm for best details)
• s: the only part which needs s is the main box. This part is already preed, so you do not need to add additional s in the slicer. However if you prefer to, there is also a non ed STL included, if you wish to use your own s
• 20% infill
• 0.4mm nozzle
