Not sure I would ever use something like this, but thanks for sharing this with
us Olaf.

Subject: 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.

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!
Lino
