*** Thanks for checking out this model! ***

If you appreciate what I'm doing, buying me a coffee would be a wonderful show of support! Good quality designs take time, effort, and CAFFEINE! ;-)

And then check out my other models for something else you might like!

Now you have a great way to present your cards in a vault that fans out as you open it!

*** ATTENTION:  PLEASE READ the printing directions below before printing.  ***

PLEASE NOTE: 

1. This case is for 100 standard size cards with sleeves. 
2. Most sleeves will fit, but not guaranteed to fit ALL sleeve brands. 
3. A deck divider is also included.
4. If you want to print for a deck with fewer cards, a spacer is included to take up the extra space.  See below for more info.

Key Features:

1. Four layers of nested covers that open up like a fan.
2. The inner box is raised (floats) by the opening action by about 8mm.
3. Sits upright on the table when fully open.
4. No supports needed for printing.

Variants to be offered for the Inner Case:

1. Magic the Gathering Trading Card Game - this model.
2. Pokemon Trading Card Game - to be released based on interest.
3. One Piece Trading Card Game - to be released based on interest.
4. Yugioh - to be released based on interest.
5. Others - as by popular request.

Recommendations:

1. Perfect to print with PLA+ or PLA Pro.
2. Also works well with PC-CF or PLA-CF.
3. PLA also works but depending your print settings and your brand, it may be brittle.
4. Not recommended to print with ABS/ASA/PC due to high tendency to warp and/or peel off print bed.
5. The parts in this model require careful printing to minimize warpage from part corners lifting off the bed during printing - Use the .3mf file of the models provided for best results - they have painted seams and adhesion helpers that I've used for successful prints.
6. If you don't use the .3mf file, adhesion helpers and brims are still highly recommended.

Printing Quantities:

• 1x of the Inner Case
• 2x of the 1st Layer Cover
• 2x of the 2nd Layer Cover
• 2x of the 3rd Layer Cover
• 2x of the 4th Layer Outer Cover
• 1x of the Outer Bottom Case
• Print the spacer as needed
• Print the divider as needed

Assembly Instructions (do not assemble out of sequence!):

1. 1st set of covers: Start with the 4th Layer Outer Cover and >snap< in the 3rd Layer Cover, then the 2nd Layer Cover.
2. Then lastly, >snap< in the 1st Layer Cover.
3. At this point, you should be able to open and close the fan out covers (gently) by themselves.  This indicates that the hinge points are properly seated with each other.
4. Repeat for the other 4 covers.
5. See the last GIF in the pics section and follow directions below:
   1. Snap the nested covers into the Outer Bottom Case - one set at a time - as shown.
   2. Gently - fan out the covers as far as the covers will open without slipping out of their tabs and pockets. 
   3. Last step (do not do out of sequence): Gently open up the 1st Layer Cover (while fanned out) and tuck the Inner Case inside so that the tab and slots mate on both sides - you typically hear a >click< when they find their place.
6. Open and close the fan out case a few times to check that the hinges, tabs, and slots are fully seated.
7. Insert your favorite bare deck of playing cards and enjoy!

NOTE:  for the fan out mechanism to work smoothly, you'll need to exercise (open and close) the entire motion a few dozen times.  After that, it should work very smoothly.
