Customizable dividers for your card games (or other cards)

With this OpenSCAD script, you can create tabbed dividers with custom icons for any card size. It started out as a way to automate adding more expansions to my Arkham Horror dividers, now it is flexible enough to be used for any type of cards.

Parameters for Customizing

Card dimensions: The most important parameters are horizontal and vertical. Set these to the size of your cards. The longer side should be assigned to horizontal for sideways storage, or to vertical for upright storage.

Tabs: Depending on the size set for horizontal, the number and size of tabs must be configured:

• tab_width is the length of the top edge
• tab_height is the distance between the tab's top edge and the cards' top edge
• tab_angle sets the slope in degrees. Higher numbers mean wider slope. With 45 degrees, the slope will be as wide as tall, i.e.
• tab_height. With 0 degrees, there will be no slope.
• tabs sets the total number of tabs along the top edge. They will be spaced evenly, with the outer tabs only having a slope on the inner side.
• index sets the tab index for the current card. The index 0 will be the leftmost tab. Some recommended settings, based on Arkham Horror cards:

horizontal	tabs	tab_width	tab_angle	tab_height
87	4	16	45	10
61	3	14	30	10

To try out other values, you can set test_tabs to true. This will ignore the index setting and render as many dividers as there are tabs, put above each other, so you can see how much the tabs overlap.

Icons: Set icon to the path to an SVG file (or upload one if using the web interface). The icon will be scaled down to have a height of target_icon_height. You can additionally set the target_icon_width. If you leave that at 0, the icon will keep it's aspect ratio, which will cause it to be off center, if it isn't square. Also, if it is much wider than tall, it can cause it to spill over.
