The Business Card that Assembles into a Dinosaur
I'm not sure exactly how this is a business card, but the designer calls it that. It is a 2 dimensional flat printout that can be taken apart and then assembled into a Velociraptor. What a unique idea. I know my son would love playing with these. I hope people take this idea and come up with additional designs.

I'm slicing it right now... It will be interesting to see how well it goes together.

And of course... I had to make some changes. Damn this thing takes a long time to slice!
I wanted the tail to look normal. But that extra weight for the big square section of the tail is needed to make it balance. So I changed the angle of the back bone, the tail and how the legs attach. And bigger is better:

Fire up Open_SCAD and run this script to get the above dinosaur:
scale([2,2,2]) edit();
module edit() {
difference() {
union() {
import("FinalCard.stl");
translate([15.5,-16.5,0]) cube([2,5,.87]); // So we can change the angle of backbone
translate([5,-20,0]) rotate([0,0,20]) cube([3,3,.87]); // So we can change the angle of hips off of legs
translate([13,-31,0]) rotate([0,0,25]) cube([3,3,.87]);
translate([21, 33,0]) rotate([0,0,15]) cube([5,3,.87]); // So we can change the angle of the tail
}
for( i=[90:15:300])
translate([6,57,-.1]) rotate([0,0,i+10]) cube([15,15,10]);
translate([-15,43,-.1]) rotate([0,0,-15]) cube([10,10,10]);
translate([16.5,-15.0,-.1]) rotate([0,0,35]) cube([1.05,6,10]); // backbone at 20 degrees more
translate([5,-19.5,-.1]) rotate([0,0,45]) cube([4.8,1.2,1.87]); // So we can change the angle of hips off of legs
translate([13,-31,-.1]) rotate([0,0,45]) cube([4.8,1.2,1.87]);
translate([21.5, 34,-.1]) rotate([0,0,35]) cube([4.8,1.2,1.87]); // So we can change the angle of the tail
}
translate([-15,43,0]) cube([39,.75,1]); // put back outside support line that got taken out

I might have to try again in ABS.... PLA just made it way too brittle, and not fit together right. I know I could have taken files and cleaned it up, but was just hoping for a nice quick learning experience for my step son.
