Description

With the Witcher Netflix series, I recently got back into the games and rediscovered Gwent. I wanted to play with friends (as opposed to the AI) and didn't like the changes made to the standalone game. While CD Projekt Red did release some IRL Gwent cards, they are relatively hard to find (at least in the US), so wound up with some very professional looking fanmade reproductions. While satisfying my urge, I now had ~400 physical cards to store. I assumed it would be easy to find 5 inexpensive ~80 card deck cases that were color-coded or otherwise easy to differentiate for each faction. I was wrong, and most everything in the space was extremely expensive, with multiple downsides like potentially not fitting my cards, being bulky, etc.

So... I decided to roll my own.

Please post your makes, remixes, and criticisms. This is one of my first ground-up projects, and know I probably messed up half a dozen ways I don't even realize.

The above is printed in a variety of color PLAs (mostly Overture and Hatchbox) with the boxes at .15mm off my modified Prusa MK3 inside a reinforced LACK enclosure v1 with default PrusaSlicer PLA settings. They are finished with light sanding at 220 then 400 grit. Each top takes ~6 hours, and each bottom ~5. The dividers are printed at 0.10mm ~45 minutes each. These should be relatively easy prints, the biggest printing issue I had was first layer adhesion.

While there are various versions of the Gwent faction logos - I couldn't find a set of vector art that I liked - yes, you're probably sensing a pattern. ;) For example, I like the original Northern Reals and Scoia'tail and not the redesign for the standalone game. Skellige is also difficult since it wasn't designed to be flat like the other 4 but raised. I scanned the backs from my cards and traced them in Inkscape to get my set. I also did a fair bit of editing and used artistic license to get something that met my aesthetics and I knew would print well.

The deck holder was designed in OpenSCAD and should be extensible to any CCG by altering the card size and swapping (or disabling) the artwork, just make sure the card size and thickness on both .scad files are the same or they won't fit together. If being printed on a machine with poor tolerances, and the boxes are hard to open, some slop may need to be added to the card size for the top. If the artwork used has a cutout (like Nilfgaard) it is possible to print the top divider and glue. I liked the look, so I used this on all of mine. Just a note, to use SVGs, OpenSCAD 2019.05 or newer is needed. With PLA, I found a thickness of 2mm was sufficient to survive a drop test from table height (~1m), but higher drops would crack the edges of the top and cause the holder to come apart. The height can be adjusted based on the size of the target deck and single sleeved versus double-sleeved cards.
