Magic Sorter Sorting Success…kinda! 

I do like the action of how it picks up the cards. I will try your light diffusion idea. We’re waiting for a new part to arrive it appears that the camera assembly is the whole issue due to manufacturing issues not Magic Sorter.

I would love to do this on the new machine I’ve ordered. I think a review on a used one wouldn’t be fair to the manufacturer or anyone who wants information about it. I can say so far I like it, but I’m a bit of a tinkerer who loves challenges.

I’m aware of the pricing difference but I haven’t seen a Roca in person. I’m sure each of these types of machines have their own issues. The reasoning behind my choice is that I can own 8 Magic Sorters for the same price and do more volume of sorting in the long run. Also if one or two need service I’d still have 6 running. If one Roca went down nothing is getting sorted. But then again I like to run decks with cheap creatures that can go wide. This is by far not a diss to Roca I’m just a fanatic of multiplicity.

@@RenaissanceGameSupply The only argument is with all the time wasted fixing or adjusting the magic sorter. You’d 100% be 1000s of cards deeper with the roca. I’m sure someone has a farm of magic sorters, and has it down to a science though. Owned the roca for about 2-3 months. The only issue it really has is more within the card reading its self (reading non stamped cards as stamped cards). I’m 100% Pokémon right now, and they seem to really appeal more to magic.

@@Walkerresell I can see that. My goal with this used one is to see if the upfront investment of time will pay off down the road. I can sort by hand faster than this machine. I knew this when I started researching card sorters. However, I can’t sort if I’m not home. I’m also ready to gain my time back from being spent on sorting. My favorite hobby is to tinker and build things.

Hello, the firmware is not mine. I do plan to swap out the towers at some point once this machine starts sorting continuously without issue. Then I’ll do the same with the brand new one when it arrives. Any useful modification or tweak I’ll learn from this will be applied to the second one. My goal with these are to help them along with being as efficient as possible while not reverse engineering them. So far I like them.

I’m not going to thumbs up this comment because your experience with these hasn’t been very positive. I’m sorry it’s a paperweight at the time being. I’m hoping to find some answers for folks who can avoid the situation you mentioned. That’s super unfortunate that you can’t use yours. This motivates me more now to keep dialing it in. If you want to share the reason or reasons you can’t use yours. FYI, there’s a Facebook group dedicated to just this machine if you’re not a member yet. Folks are sharing their experiences and ideas to help others.

@@RenaissanceGameSupply I'd really love to join the group as so far I've also received nothing but negative feedback from other users. I'll do a write up of our issues as soon as I can.
