Kartenmischer Kartenfach card shuffler wide remix for standard width "Bicycle" cards by Shmoee

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

This is a wider version of the "cut-out" remix of the "Spielkartenmischer / Card shuffler" to support wider cards such as standard width "Bicycle" branded playing cards. I've also included a slip-on ramp for each side table that significantly improves card feeding based on my testing. Thank you to all the developers.

The above designs I found were a little too narrow to allow standard sized "Bicycle" branded playing cards to lay flat so I widened the remixed cutout version of the Kartenfach to fit Bicycle cards. This modification should still bolt up to the original remixed Spielkartenmischer / Card shuffler front panel fine however a small lip will exist (which may benefit by retaining the cards in the card shuffler)
I have found that this update does not interfere with the roller wheels and the small lip is not a problem. I am still testing this design but have settled on using the original roller wheels printed at 92% scaled in the X and Y directions in order to use with 3.5mm thick o-rings. This makes the wheels as large as possible without hitting the original angled wall or the slot cutouts in the side tables (barely). Maximum sized wheels appear to be a necessity for proper functionality.
I also determined that for me, the angle of the pre-shuffled Bicycle cards should be increased and started with a single large metal binder clip clipped onto the middle of each of the original side tables to angle bicycle brand cards enough to work more consistently. I've since replaced the binder clips on the side tables with a slip on ramp. I've designed it so that it is perfect to align the pre-shuffled decks of standard "Bicycle" cards on the tables and does not interfere anything while reducing friction on the bottom card during feeding. For me, these side table ramps make the Bicycle cards feed much more reliably so I recommend you print out a couple to try as well. I've included the step file also for anyone interested in tweaking.
Disclaimer: Each side is reliable using Bicycle cards by itself but I think the shuffler design could be improved in order to reduce interference causing the cards from each side to bind during shuffling. I'm currently considering ways to improve even further.
Thank you!
