This is very much version 1. I definitely didn’t forget to design in the notches at the bottom and use a box cutter to cut them out by hand.
I’ll update this once I get to it. I ran out of the board material which is just picture frame matte. The cards just slide in and out and are held in place by a small overhang of the top layer. Sized it for dragon shield sleeves.
There is a market for it, I think Pokedreamer stopped producing them.
@SolemnStar The template looks great so far, I could certainly see a use for it once finished.
@jaws I purchased a slab template from Pokedreamer, shame it may have been one of the last then, I find it really useful.
oh, interesting. I could make that ez pz.
The holder for loose cards will still need the more complex design I think. It might not. I made a single and a quad holder to scan up polaroid photos. The reason why is that you need to hold the photos off the actual surface of the scanning bed. If you don’t, even on the best scanners, you get something called newton rings.

Interesting that since encapsulated cards have a ridge on them it holds them above the surface, this won’t happen! How interesting.
@jaws I don’t know anything aboutwho that is and what they did. But if I get a solid design I’d be happy to help anyone here who wants a design to fit their use case. But if its this thing frosty puppy is showing off to align graded cards, I can whip this up easy. I have some spare acrylic.
I should know this, as I helped my dad develop film in our dark room (shed lol) in the 90’s!
Very cool! I’m assuming the use case is to make make scanning and listing cards easier?
How do you like the glowforge btw?
no, going to use it for all the documentation scans I need to do for my Uzumaster set, and the FRLG and TRR reverse holo swirl articles. Just makes cropping and saving multiple images faster. But can definitely work for anyone who sells cards on electronic bay, or other places.
Ahh ok that makes more sense to me. My initial thought was for listing but I was confused how you would scan the back 
Neat idea!
update. I just added thumb slots. I printed just the main layer. It appears that I absolutely nailed it for my measurements for dragon shield sleeves. And yes, Dragonshield sleeves are 92mm NOT 88mm tall. Shown is why you have to customize it per sleeve type. I have cards in both shown ultimate guard sleeves. One is shorter, and one is both shorter AND narrower. Penny sleeves are larger. But that’s easy enough to change.
And for the actual scan test. These looks pretty awesome. Setting up a cropping template on silverfast you can churn these out fast and consistent.
This is exactly what I need to give clean images for my articles. As you can see, I found some freaking rad TRR rev holos with swirls for the project.
Ugh such beautiful card. Nice work
