The Snap Deck is a modular playing card holder that I started developing to help my grandmother hold her cards on game night. It ended up growing into something much bigger with feedback from the community and a lot of time in CAD and printing test parts hahaπŸ˜„

------------------------------------------
This post includes all the main bodies currently developed.

Check out the side modules here:
β€” SnapDeck Side Attachments

Check out the back modules here:
β€” SnapDeck Back Attachments

If you have printed out components prior to July 30, 2025, the side module mounting points have changed for strength reasons. Shoot me a message if you have compatibility issues, and I will figure out how to get you whatever models you need for your build!
------------------------------------------

Important!

I'm still developing the project here and there, so if you find certain issues that are not easily fixable, or if you have any fun ideas, let me know!

Also, make sure to check out the back/side attachments just above to build out your ideal setup for game night.

Some Things You May Need For The β€” Main Body β€” \_(ツ)_/

Depending on how well the tolerances of the press-fit nubbins turn out on your attachments, you may want to secure them down with some M3 screw (~6-10mm) with the convenient mounting holes all around the main body.

You should definitely make the handle if you're already printing out the regular body, and you'll need two M3 screws to secure down the handle pins (use the holes closest to the handle so that you can use the other holes towards the outside for securing certain side modules).

Printing

None of the main bodies should require any support! 😁

I mostly printed everything in PLA at 0.2mm layer height and default 15-20% infill, but different filament types and infill values should work just fine. As for the precision, you could probably print it with lower layer heights but it's obviously going to take a bit longer and not provide much visual/structural benefit.

Every printer is different!!! I did my best to tune the tolerances to apply well for most users, but you may need to do a little bit of sanding on the attachment nubbins, mileage may vary… Also, remember those M3 mounting points are there should you end up sanding too far lol.

Some More Info

If you want to watch some of the videos on the project, you can check them out on my YouTube channel right here.

Everything is obviously completely free πŸ˜‰, but if you want to sell the SnapDeck yourself at a storefront or online, I will do my best to figure out some sort of commercial license situation.

Again, if you have any fun ideas or requests, you can always feel free to reach out or post a comment.

Happy printing and catch you later!
