RE: [rp-ml] file for business card puzzle

Thanks Lino,
 
Well, a fair few people have asked for the files, so I have uploaded
them to my server, and will leave them there for a week, or so.
 
The Solidworks 2010 files is at:
http://www.ciri.org.nz/downloads/magic_card_SW.rar
and the single part STL file is at:
http://www.ciri.org.nz/downloads/magic_card_stl.rar
 
The file is just the generic folding card so you need to add your
logos, etc. I don't have a high enough resolution printer to make it
myself, so you may need to tweak the tolerances depending which machine
you are printing it on.
 
Note that the original design was not mine. I just thought it was
incredibly cool so figured out how it worked and CADed one up.
 
If anyone turns it into their own business card, fell free to send me
one. Always good to show students what is possible. :-)
 
Cheers
Olaf

Olaf, That is wonderful! I am not sure about the tolerances either…
Maybe someone here would know? But I am willing to experiment with it. I
would need it as a stl file. But if it is troublesome for you I can
convert it. I also went to your website! Your research on curved
printing it very intriguing!!

Hi Lino,

Yep. I've done a model of that. Any particular format do you want it
in? I created it in Solidworks.

Also, I'm not sure what tolerance you need in there to print it as a
single print. I currently have 0.1mm clearances

Might need a bit of tweaking to print properly. :-)

Best regards from New Zealand.

Olaf

Hello all,
 
EOS had these wonderful cards at the RAPID show that were printed on
their machines. They were hinged and could flip in any manner of ways.
Does anyone know of similar files for download? If not I’ll just start
building my own but I wanted to check first.
 
Thanks!
