What is Deck in a Box?
Deck in a Box is a small web app for board gamers who need somewhere to put cards and tokens. You enter your card size and deck thickness, pick a box style, and it generates a model that fits, either as 3D printable STL and STEP files or as a flat dieline for folding from card.
For 3D printing it offers a quick draw deck box and token trays, including a version tuned for FDM printers where you choose where the separators go. Standard card sizes are available as presets, so most games take only a few clicks. The paper and cardstock versions come out as DXF for cutting by hand or on a cutting machine.
It is free, needs no account and is supported by donations. The creator also builds the open source replicad CAD library that powers it. It suits tabletop players tidying up game boxes and anyone who wants a snug case for a card deck without measuring and modeling.
