Magnetic Storage Boxes for Trading Card Games (e.g. SWU & MtG)

I created these boxes using my parametric design , customizing two types of boxes:

• shallow token boxes

• 1 double-deck box, designed to hold two 60-card decks (sleeved) of any trading card game (I use them for Magic the Gathering and Star Wars Unlimited).

I've customized the lids with some appropriately themed icons (for MtG and SWU), but you can of course customize these to your own tastes or your own favourite TCG.

• I use round 6mm magnets ( these ones ) which might not exactly match the ones you have, and your printer's tolerances might differ from mine, so you should print a small test print first (see the note below about the “magnet-test-stick”) before committing to printing all the boxes. In the worst case scenario, you might have to use the Fusion file provided on the original design page to customize the cutouts for the magnets (and possibly other things you might want to change).

• I have now included a small “magnet-test-print” model, as well as a taller “magnet-test-stick”: Use this to test if your magnets fits well - and as a bonus, you can then use the stick as a tool to more easily place your magnets, using the correct orientation: Mark one end of the stick as the “up” end, and use it as a reference for the future!

• I recommend using a bit of superglue to fix the magnets in place.

• This should go without saying, but just in case: Triple-check your magnets' orientation before glueing them in! (ask me how I know… O:-) )

• I recommend putting in magnets at the bottom even for boxes/trays you think might always stay at the bottom: That way you have the most flexibility and can swap the boxes around in any order you like.

Enjoy and share your makes or remixes!

• added a “magnet-test-print” and a taller “magnet-test-stick” which you can use to test the fit of your magnets before printing the full boxes. As a bonus, you can then use the stick as a tool to more easily place the magnets, with the correct orientation.
