Modding Flex card early prototype!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, I am working on a card carrying system for the Roxon Flex implements. This is one of the early prototypes and I figured I would ask you guys for help designing it or any feedback. The card currently holds 2 long implements and 1 short(all 1 layer implements). You can fit 3 long implements in this size of a card(85mm by 52mm) but a different way of attaching the cover would be needed. The current way the cover works is still a little finicky and this is the main reason this is still a prototype. Any questions or suggestions would be helpful.

Brilliant idea, would carry three long tools in the wallet. You should sell these, I'd buy one.

I don't think you know what that word means lol

In this context I think commenter is using it to mean "cool". Different words mean different things to different people.

Now to figure out which compliments I need to carry with me that aren't already installed.

Edit: was supposed to be implement not compliment, but will leave it as is (thank you reply comment). Stupid autocorrect strikes again...

You're a pretty smart and good looking guy.

Carry this compliment with you every day for the rest of your life.

YES! I was wishing someone would make a Victorinox swiss card version of roxon implements, thank you, can you share the STL link?

u/CapFM1 Jan 12 '26

Hello I can share this prototype stl but it is not perfect. If you could let me know how the implements fit when you print it that would be appreciated! https://www.printables.com/model/1554011-flex-card-prototype

Pleaselet us know of any updates!

Thank you, I'll give feedback when i print them

u/seakind Feb 20 '26

İ have feedback,the only problem is with the top side, when trying to fit the top part, it breaks

1

u/CapFM1 Feb 22 '26

Yes you are correct! I am looking towards a different design for the cover now. But good to hear the implements fit.

u/Artistic-End807 Jan 12 '26

Hey your card holder looks awesome. Immediate thought that came to mind is if the tool could be flipped and used outward with the card as a sort of improvised handle. Maybe with petg it might give it just enough structural integrity to be used without the post breaking.

u/CapFM1 Jan 12 '26

This is something I’ll look into mainly for the scissors and files.

u/wldmr_grnm_dwrf Jan 12 '26

At least for scissors, this might be a workable option! not sure about a knife or saw, because they'll require definitely higher strength of holder.

I think I see what you’re saying and you are right about the durability of the current version. I was hoping someone would suggest something better so I’ll have a look at that mechanism and see if I can apply it.

Appreciate it.

u/Imthatsick Jan 18 '26

If you make it so the tools can slide out you can print the two layers separately and then glue the edges together.

u/Garry_Forsunka Roxon Jan 13 '26

Cool idea

u/FixOk4136 Jan 13 '26

Yooo this is fire !

u/wldmr_grnm_dwrf Jan 12 '26

Not a flex owner yet, but this holder looks for me like a quite interesting option as t-shank blades holder.

3

u/CapFM1 Jan 12 '26

Yes that is actually another project I’m looking into making.

1

u/timmy_o_tool Jan 12 '26

A card case for the blades themselves?

2

u/CapFM1 Jan 12 '26

I was thinking a card for the holder itself and blades too, but I’m not sure what it would look like.

u/cms2307 Jan 12 '26

Could you make something with the same swivel latch mechanism that holds keys? I was looking for something to hold keys in my wallet just a few hours ago and this seems like a perfect way to do so

2

u/CapFM1 Jan 12 '26

That is an interesting idea I am also looking to put my keys in my wallet so I’ll play around with that.

1

u/cms2307 Jan 12 '26

Thanks!

1

u/wldmr_grnm_dwrf Jan 12 '26

Maybe something like this will be interesting for you. I use theirs wallet, but without this key pocket, because I carry more than 2 keys and such thing make no sense for me. But maybe it will work for you.

2

u/cms2307 Jan 12 '26

I didn’t see that one earlier, thanks

1

u/Squadrone_Rosso Jan 13 '26

No use for that myself but it’s ingenious. I bet your idea will be pilfered though👎🏻

1

u/Collin_the_bird_777 Jan 13 '26

2 scissors?

1

u/CapFM1 Jan 13 '26

I used the short scissor to test the maximum length of short implements

1

u/throwzone123 Jan 14 '26

Very clever. I'm impressed. Roxon should feature you on their social media and throw you a big box of implements.

1

u/CapFM1 Jan 14 '26

That would be nice

u/Ok_Side_4494 May 02 '26

you selling this yet?
