just press print and in a short while you'll be scanning your cards in your collection!

we recommend using a well lit room to help the cards get scanned

printing:

The walls for the cards need to be white for best results anything else seems to limit the scanning.

2-3 walls for the majority works and 3-4 for the phone stand holder

5 Top/Bottom layers

10% infill / 35% on the phone holder (gyroid or similar preferred)

Apps we used:

TCGplayer: ok but has issues

ManaBox: Works extremely well

Testing:

we used both sleeved and non sleeved most work perfectly occasionally it'll glitch and you might need to reposition the card to fake cover it with another to reset the apps camera for auto scanning.

we used a Pixel 8 and an iPhone 14 and both seemed to fit but be careful not to bump the stand and give the phone or stand the opportunity to tip

You'll need either a 3x12mm dowel or you can use a 3mm self tapping screw to hold the phone holder into its slider so you can move it back or forth. Its mirrorable so you can choose which side you'd like your scanner we have 2 different plates (only the holder needs to be printed if you choose to have both)

you can also use an LED light to help light up the box (just eliminate the glare for foils and sleeved cards)

Change Log:

Aug 12, 2025

added a version 2 that is a larger phone base with 2 options a full piece (Left or Right) or a dual piece

changed the v2 to a no supports print as the sliders were kind of useless and its easier to just pin the base to the phone holder

cleaned up the file locations

Trading Card Scanner Base and Phone Holder

0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill
