When do we get to see the 3D printed deck tray / rack?

This one is the Universal Rack Spacer. Show some love to those worn out wobbly chips.

I just ordered a photon resin printer. Unfortunately it won’t likely print large enough for chip racks. I do plan to print some poker related items. I’ve already created a workstation to include venting and a UV resin curing box. I’m excited as the resin printers appear to print much greater detail than filament printers.

Very cool! I'd like to get a resin printer next for doing D&D minis with better detail. For big prints though, FDM is still the best option.

yeah, that would be cool, and that was one of the comments on the site. i'd love to get back into d&d, i haven't played in the better part of 20 years

I just got back in with 5e last year. 2 of the guys in my group had not played since 2nd ed. It's great! Check out the D&D thread that @Trihonda started.

i have, i've been luring in there! @Trihonda i love the table top/screen tou built for your campaigns!

I completed the model for one of the main things that I wanted to make when I set out to do this (but don't worry, I'm not quitting making designs). Now I need to print 12 of these for my 8V china clay limit set! That's gonna take a while.

Here is the link to the model for 8V CC racks:

I'm curious about durability compared to traditional acrylic racks? Have you done drop test yet?

Following this thread. Awesome project!

They seem very strong. I've dropped empty racks on carpet with no damage. I'm thinking about dropping one full of dice chips on my driveway to see what happens to a loaded rack hitting concrete. I'll take video!

New design posted: a lid for Paulson racks. I'm going to make a wider version for the 8V CC racks too. I'm also planning to play around with stuff like putting recessed designs in the lid.

FWIW, I like these low profile trays better than racks. And a 43mm is around the same footprint as a traditional 39mm rack... I have no doubt a 43mm tray would fit in a standard birdcage... In fact I bet they'd even stack 6-high in a 1000-count birdcage.

They have "tabs" and "grooves" to lock in place and are therefore sturdy (not sure if they are sturdier than traditional racks with a fair amount of overlap...)

You just need a lip and you basically have the deck/button carrier that @justsomedude asked about!

I modified the lid design to fit the 8V china clay chips.

What are these racks?

 

[WedgeRock]

Bud Jones trays.

My test print just finished. To start with I just copied the card tray that I have. Next I'm going to do some remixes of it for different variations like storing a dealer button under the cards. Teaser photo (this one warped up from the bed a bit so it isn't perfect):

 

[One Eyed Dollar]

Here are some shots of the test print. The bottom walls did not print well, I think because I skimped too much on the support underneath. I decided to thicken the walls on the bottom part slightly too, and I'm running another test print with more support. Still working on some remixes with a recess for dealer buttons and other variations.

Here's a shot of the original for comparison and to show how it stacks:

I think I know someone with a printer I can use to try make some of these!

What I would love is a rack for oversized Paulsons 43mm chips and a rack for regular 39mm chips that can stack on top of each other and preferably all fit in a birdcage. Do you have any idea on how to make that? Would it be possible to make some 43/39mm racks that are stackable with each other and still all fit in a bird cage?

So sick @One Eyed Dollar!!! In for a bunch of these once your get your design dialed in!

I'm going to work on some 43mm racks soon, and @justsomedude has some bird cages I can borrow to experiment with what will fit. I'll see what can be done.

 

[One Eyed Dollar]

This one's for you @stonker! Hopefully you can find someone to print it for you, or I can make you some eventually when I get through printing all my prototypes or get a second printer. I figured it might come in handy for others that have shallow drawers too, and it was easy to make from my other model.

My second print of the card tray turned out much better so I went ahead and posted the files here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/oeds-models-for-3d-printing-poker-stuff.50673/#post-966630

I'm currently printing a test of my first variation on this, so you might want to wait and see which version you like best before printing one.

I love it when the support pops out easily in one piece!

 

[One Eyed Dollar]

I'm pretty happy with how this card tray turned out!
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/oeds-models-for-3d-printing-poker-stuff.50673/#post-967604

I modeled an unusual creation of my own design which I will be printing and testing next. Hopefully it works like I think it will.

Super cool!

How does the Paulson rack fit on top? Is there some flange pieces to "lock it in" or it just sits on top?

The top of the card tray is sized to fit just inside the bottom of the Paulson rack. The inside of the Paulson rack has two little "fingers" on each end that protrude out, and those rest on top of the card tray. It's probably not the most stable because there isn't a whole lot of overlap and all the weight is on those little fingers, but it's possible. If you have a tall stack, it's probably best to put the cards on top of the stack.

Maybe this angle shows the stacking better:

That angle explains it perfectly.
