My first attempt at creating a "kit card".
My design ended up being just a bit too large to fit on the bed of my Ender 3 Pro. I scaled it to 80% to make it fit.
Feel free to ask me about any question you have. Leave a comment and I will do my best to help you.
I'd love to see your prints. Post a make of it!

Depending on your layer height the fit might be a little too lose or too tight. I recommend testing small pieces first and adjusting either the z-scaling or the layer height to find a combination that works.
How I Designed This
Converting Files
The original model only provided PDF files of each model. In the past I've used easy, online converters to turn them into SVG files to import into Fusion360. But these files somehow always produced an error when converting straight from PDF to SVG and then importing. By first turning the PDFs into PNG files and then into SVGs I was able to finally import them into Fusion.
Adding the sprue
I arranged the imported files in a way that I liked. Then encompassed them with a rectangle frame and from there started adding the "sprue" to give it the classic kit card look.
