Custom Cut Card (2 Viewers)

[MrMuffin]

Hello collectors,

some weeks ago I made my first custom chipset. Now I am interested how I can improve it and came to the point that I would like to have a custom cut card.

I found a condor here that does Metal cards but I would be interested in a classic Plastic one with a custom logo.

Does anyone here have an idea, where to get it and what I would have to pay for it?

Look in the group buy threads, there have been some group buys for cut cards

That is where I got mine

In group buys you are looking at approx $30 art set up fees plus approx $1.50/ plastic card. Individually your costs will be higher.

In my opinion, the plastic cut cards are not as nice as the metal ones.

In a group with solid dealers, the plastic ones are excellent, but there is a tendency with amateur dealer-players to accidently shuffle the plastic cards into the deck, resulting in a "where's the cut card", followed by a check on the second deck to see if they have both cut cards (and possibly revealing the bottom card of a live deck). There's a short search around the previous dealers (halting the game) before the shuffled deck gets spread out to find the card.

I'm still waiting to see if a 3d printer can make custom cut cards. @BearMetal @Sparkynutz @apchipper

I might have some, I made five different ones. Remind me when I get back to Iceland

@Buge has a custom cut card group buy last Feb. You can reach out to see if he is planning another soon.

These are the ones I had made with him. They are fantastic.

I think it would be possible to do something. But you would most likely need to replace the standard nozzle with a much smaller diameter nozzle, and print at a very fine layer height in order to make it thin enough but also provide some type of customized art.

There are a few multi-filament printers that are out there right now, which could potentially do something like this.

I’m looking to make some custom cut cards too! Some Taj Mahal to match my chips.

Indeed, it should be pretty easy to print a cut card with up to four colors in which filament is readily available. Printing at 0.2mm layer height, a 0.4mm cut card would be 2 layers thick.

I agree with this. anyone know where we can get custom metal cut cards (preferably with color printing for the logo)?

 

[digirati]

Found this place online: https://www.pokercutcards.com/

They do both metal and plastic.

Anyone have experience with using them?

No. They are closed for a few weeks due to illness from the staff. I could not get any info on pricing.

I had previously shared this place. https://www.pokercutcards.com/

Has anyone used them before who can say if they do a great job?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Buge's cut cards come out great. I'd highly recommend. Good for faux rewards cards and hotel room keys, too!

 

[Muckraker]

Strongly recommend @Potsie1 as well. He’s a trusted PCF vendor who produces first-rate work.

Has anyone who's bought metal cut cards got one of those damn invisible metal splinters that light up the nerves in your finger but you can't see it? I've had those whenever I build IKEA furniture and use their cheapo tools that come with everything. I like the idea of metal cut cards, but I definitely don't want them to cause those pain in the arse splinters.

At least the prototypes i have lasered werent sharp or left anything in my fingers

I've used the Potsie cut cards for one 5-hour game (over 3 tables) without incident. I've also used them for two 2-hour heads up games without a splinter, or even a burr.

I used the "Cuck Fancer" cut cards Friday night. 7 hour session without incident.

Keep in mind, I do not "cut" cards with it. I use it as a bottom card for our poker games.
I always wanted to have my own brand on it, matching my table, dealer button and chips. So, I decided to make my own.
1: Create the design
2: I used Sticker Mule to order Holographic stickers
3: I used thin cut card (plastic) and applied stickers on both sides. cut the corners and ... DONE
I hope this helps.

Holographic Stickers:

Plastic cut card

Final result

I love @Potsie1 metal cut cards! But with drunk players they can be dangerous to a deck. I had a player pretty much cut a card in half with one of them!

 

[EastCoastCali]

My fear 3D printing them is you’d need it to be thin to the point where it’s fragile across the print direction lines, there might be a material good enough for this with a print layer thin enough for better strength, but I’ve never used one that I think would even be half as good as the @Potsie1 metal cut cards. Cool idea in theory, just have my doubts it would be worth it.
