Mana Press — screw press for Magic cards: flatten a bowed deck, brick a freshly sleeved one

A printed screw press for Magic cards. Two threaded posts, a yoke and two thumb nuts squeeze a stack flat overnight, or squeeze a freshly sleeved deck back into a brick that drops into its box. The posts ARE the screws — there is no hardware anywhere in the model, no screws, magnets or inserts. Height is set by stacking 12 mm pressure plates, which double as the WUBRG mana rainbow and each ship a named-solid 2-colour companion for AMS. An optional, experimental arc pair over-bends a curled foil past its set. 11 STLs, 6 printed parts, no supports, fully parametric OpenSCAD.
