Metal Card Jigs, Carriers and Bot Rigs: STL Files

This collection gathers 3D models built around metal cards: laser jigs and holders, carriers and boxes, costume rigs, frames and a few machine parts. It is useful if you own a laser engraver, keep a stack of metal cards, or want a poseable figure frame for 3D printing. Most files are small and print in a single run, so you can judge them quickly from the author's photos. Polyzon does not confirm whether models are free, their price, license, official status, affiliation, safety or fitness. Check the current terms at the source.

À propos de la catégorie

«Metal Card Jigs, Carriers and Bot Rigs: STL Files»

The models fall into a few groups. Laser jigs and holders position a card blank under the beam, usually as a flat plate with a recess or stop edges. Carriers and boxes are closed shapes with a lid or sliding fit, meant to hold one or several cards. Costume rigs are articulated or T-posed frames for a figure, and the remaining items are frames, novelty card shapes and small machine brackets.

When choosing a file, start with the dimensions the author lists: card size, thickness and the clearance left for it. Check how many parts there are and whether they assemble with screws, pins or glue. Look at whether supports are needed on overhangs, which material and layer height the author used, and photos of real prints rather than renders alone. A jig that fits one card format may not fit another.

To widen the search, try synonyms such as business card jig, laser jig, card holder, card carrier, credit card jig or engraving template. Related topics include laser engraver accessories, card storage, cosplay figure frames and printer upgrade brackets. Adding the machine type or the card format to the query usually narrows results faster than a single broad word.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

What is a metal card jig used for?
It holds a metal card blank in a fixed position while a laser engraver marks it. The recess or stop edges keep the card from shifting between passes.
What should I measure before printing a card holder?
Measure the card length, width and thickness, then compare them with the values on the model page. Allowance for fit varies, so check whether the author lists a clearance or a test print.
Do these models need supports?
It depends on the shape. Flat jigs and plates usually print without them, while boxes, rigs and frames may have overhangs that need support. The author's page often states this.
Can I scale a card jig to another card size?
Uniform scaling changes the card recess as well as the outer body, so the fit may drift. It is safer to look for a version made for that card format or to adjust the recess in the source file.
