RE: Video Update - Card Feeder Prototype - Building process
Nice project!
Would also be nice to have a model to be 3d printing it :-D

Wouldn't it be better adapted for laser cutting ?
Given we're talking near-exclusively flat pieces
Plus with Laser Cutting you could engrave a cool design on each side of the Card Feeder XD
3D printing could be used to extend the design's sides to make an awesomely shaped version that's much more stable, though, so there's probably potential with both Laser Cutting and 3D printing !
Hey pbock,
yes you're right.
One problem, I don't have a laser. :)
But, I own a CNC. I could cut the shapes with it.
cu
Sure Laster cutting would speed up some parts and would give you the option to use different materials. But its not so big that you could not print it and 3d printer are more spread...did you get yours by now ? I still haven't got my price from MyMiniFactory.
nope... they've gone silent since I found that update on their indiegogo page saying they had a 1 month delay (so technically delivery date would have been mid/end October). Tried sending MakeX's MIGO team an email but no answer yet, and it's been more than a month since the liaison from MyMiniFactory has answered my emails X/
have they at least been keeping you updated on the prize, or have thye just gone silent too ?
True, 3D printers are easier to acquire and more widespread, so 3D printing adaptation would probably be the easiest to go with first.
What I think the 3D printed version would excel at would be to have sculpted parts on the exterior parts, like having it look like an actual old tower that spews cards or something XD
Yea good idea with the tower :-D
Just send out an email to myminifactory asking if they have any updates for me.
Hi drmake, thanks.
When the scanner and the sorter is finished I will think about the final design and material. 3d printing is one option, because I have created already the 3d model in Fusion360.
Yea would be a interesting machine to print !
