@MaxPaxWax was there any setting adjustments you had to do to get your chrome cards to look so nice in the scans? I just got the fi-8040 and my chrome cards are so dark they’re unusable. I’ve been looking around but can’t find any info on how to fix the dark scans. If the fi-8170 images are that clean I may have to return and upgrade. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
Good morning. I will be placing the STL file on my web page if you want to download and print it. I will continue to update it as well and make other modifications for other features that we can utilize from the 8170 and similar scanners. The files and other 3D prints etc will be located here starting tomorrow. maxwaxpax.com/blogs/scanning-help/3d-printed-parts-and-files-from-maxwaxpax
This looks amazing! How does it hold up to non sleeved cards? I have a ton of bulk I want to send through the scanner, but not sleeve them all. Thank you!
David, I tested it on raw cards without sleeves and it worked well. Let me know if you have issues as there is always room to modify the part here and there as needed.
Thank you for the reply! Order has been placed. I've tried all kinds of tape and messing with that part, taking it in and out with not a lot of success. I was super excited when I stumbled on this video. Looking forward to giving it a go!
You are the man! Awesome job. Ordered one and look forward to using it.
Wow very cool! I just placed my order! Thank you for a wonderful design and only charging for the cost of the material!!!

@@maxwaxpax Unfortunately, I don't have a 3D printer or CAD. Can I just pay you for the part and instructions?
I will be setting that up on the site tomorrow and will get this taken care of for you. I will post back here when it is ready with the link.
Wow! What sorcery is this. How do I get one of these parts?
Waiting for this part to drop. Just got my scanner. Can’t wait to order.

I scan exactly as you do sideways and I get 2 lines indented across the card on the back. That is a different issue from this right?
This is that exact problem
Anyone know how to go about getting new springs?
I have a contact at Ricoh and will reach out tomorrow to see if I can get some sent
I’ll take 5! I DMd you on IG
