Well executed! How deep would you say the engraves are? I love culture hustle’s products and philosophy, but I’ve only ever pulled the trigger on black 3.0… judging by what I see here I may have to try their glow acrylic.
Love the glowy effect!
Thanks!
The SD PG engrave seemed adequate from the first test. They felt pretty deep to endure a couple flood fill layers, probably around a millimeter. I’ll try to measure if I do another.
The green CH glow powder is a lot brighter than the blue. They are both much brighter and have more endurance than the (allegedly) top-rated pre-mixed stuff on Amazon. I was considering doing a controlled timelapse to quantify that.
Holy smokes that’s awesome
The question is, can it hold sleeved cards? Sleeved decks tend to be bulkier and double up on size.
Those look stunning! Love that glow on them.
That seems like a good thing to be aware of when designing deck boxes.
These are for three specific children for whom sleeved cards likely won’t be relevant, at least for now. I also sent them 1000 bulk cards (as recommended by someone with more M:tG experience than I have). They are learning to play.
The slop in the width is likely enough for the sleeves. It would be pretty easy to increase the depth if needed to accommodate a sleeved deck.
Some people have made deck boxes using box generators and, that likely works well. I like being able to micromanage my aesthetic preferences and, am doing them “by-hand” in Inkscape. I will likely make another box at some point soon. If it would be helpful, I can make a video walking through it, including the design process.
This would be helpful to me. For some reason, the last couple of times I tried to use boxes.py, the tabs are turning out super, super tiny, even though I haven’t done anything different than I always have when making a box. I’ve basically given up. And videos are greatly beneficial to me, as I’m more of a “see and learn” type person than reading and understanding.
That is just too cool!
I wish I was. Everything is on video and I just fall asleep. Give me text any day!
No promises on how quickly but, I will see what I can do!
I usually try to write up the same stuff I put in videos.
(Also, since I am not trying to win a fight with “the algorithm,” I try to get to the point quickly and, don’t pad for length.)
Oh, ok. But length doesn’t bother me. I learned to read before I was 2 and outpaced the speed reading program at 10.
I feel your pain with all the settings at boxes.py!
Have you seen this web page on Glowforge:
I wrote the instructions about a year ago. Some folks here found it useful.
Whoa… they are really cool.
So COOL! I love glow in the dark stuff
The boxes are wonderful, and that glowing powder is just incredible! I gave up on some of the cheap stuff a long time ago, might have to spring for the good stuff now.
Wow! These are pretty spectacular!
Love it!
I appreciate it. I can do written, but having it with video helps too! No rush of course.
@tracypaul.warrington, I believe I have seen that. Just forgot about it. I probably bookmarked it and forgot to check my bookmarks. I’ll bookmark it again just to be sure!
I had a few people ask me about making deck boxes that accommodate a sleeved 100-card deck. So, I bought a used M:tG deck with some sleeves and, made this one as a prototype.
The engrave on the front is a rune mark I came up with for myself in high school. Presumably, most people will want an initial or two there. I think I finally have the glow fill technique down.
