Metal Card Jigs, Carriers and Bot Rigs: STL Files

«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.
