Buy the finished piece

Want it printed?

Hang your best pulls on the wall in a clean frame built around a standard 3 x 4 in top loader. The card stays fully on show, and the frame hangs portrait or landscape on a single nail. This is the same Top Loader Card Frame we print and sell finished, now as a file for your own printer.

The details

This is a digital download. No physical item is shipped. It includes a Personal Use License for your own printing.

Why collectors love it
  • Fits one standard 3 x 4 in top loader
  • Alignment insert included: it sits inside the top loader to keep the card upright and centered
  • Hangs portrait or landscape on one nail or screw, with hanging points on the top edge and the side
  • Two parts, the frame and a back, with no supports
  • Bambu Studio .3mf with production settings and the brim ears already placed
  • Print the frame in any color and the back in black, like ours
What you'll receive
  • CDFORGE_TopLoaderCardFrame_STLs.zip (3 STL files: frame, back and alignment insert, already oriented)
  • CDFORGE_TopLoaderCardFrame.3mf (Bambu Studio project, 3 plates: one complete set, 3 frames, 6 backs)
  • 5-page guide PDF: what it holds, print settings, assembly, hanging and care
  • Personal Use License PDF
Print settings we use
  • Printer: Bambu Lab P1P, 0.4 mm nozzle
  • Layer height: 0.2 mm, first layer 0.22 mm
  • Walls: 2 loops, 5 top layers, 3 bottom layers
  • Infill: 10% grid
  • Supports: none
  • Brim: brim ears on the frame and the back (already placed in the .3mf). Slicing the STLs yourself? Add brim ears to the corners of both parts so they stay flat.
  • Orientation: frame face down, back flat with the hanging bar up (already oriented)
  • One complete set: about 2 hr 13 min and 60 g of PLA
  • Frame about 1 hr 10 min, 36 g. Back about 46 min, 21 g
Assembly and hanging
  • Lay the frame face down and place the card in its top loader, with the alignment insert inside the top loader, in the window
  • Set the back on top, text facing you, and press its tabs into the frame
  • Hang it on one small nail or screw at the top notch (portrait) or the side notch (landscape)
Size
  • Frame 3.67 x 5.83 x 0.59 in (93.3 x 148 x 15.1 mm)
  • Back 115.9 x 74.4 mm, sits inside the frame
  • Each part fits a 180 x 180 mm bed, so it prints on the Bambu A1 mini too. The .3mf plates are laid out for a 256 x 256 mm bed.
Important notes
  • Digital download only. No physical item, top loaders or cards are shipped.
  • STL files need a 3D printer and slicer software.
  • The CD.Forge logo is part of the model (a small tile on the back rim of the frame and the wordmark on the back).
  • Results depend on your printer, filament and settings. The person printing is responsible for the finished item.
