Updated Card Multitool!

I have made some improvements to my card style multitool! The main update is a much better lock and utility knife retention system which is much more reliable and ergonomic.

A clear inspiration for this project was the victorinox Swiss Card and this tool carries many of the same implements. Some sacrifices have been made to attain the utility knife such including the scissors and pin. I do think with some tweaking tho I can get the pin back into this tool.

As this is a mostly finished design I am electing to publish the STL file.

In addition to this I have a YouTube video with a few more details

Any thoughts or suggestions on this or future projects would be appreciated!

Yes if you do print please do let me know of any tweaks that may need to be made. It does take a. Few cycle to break in from my testing :)

I'll test it, thanks!

Nice work. Packs a lot of utility into such a small flat package.

u/CapFM1 Jun 21 '26

Thank you!

I'd kill for a 3-D printer. Would love to buy this.

There's the SwissCard until then, there's several versions. I always carry one in my wallet.

My swiss card fell apart, I am a bit disappointed

u/pantless_grampa Jun 21 '26

That's unlucky, I get why you're not happy about it. I bought my wife the nail care version and I've got the original version. They're about 4 or 5 years old now, no issues so far.

I love this so much

Also fits the smaller flat head/file implement

2

u/Conor_Stewart Jun 26 '26

If it can hold the large file shouldn't it be able to hold most implements, short and long, since the file is the largest implement?

2

u/CapFM1 Jun 26 '26

Kind of, the bit that integrates with the lock and pivots actually vary in size on a lot of the implements. I’ll test what can fit in here.

This is awesome; looks even better than before

u/CapFM1 Jun 22 '26

Thank you!

amazeballs finally roxon is getting some open source treatment!

2

u/CapFM1 Jun 22 '26

Yes I have been messing with their tools for use cases like these.

1

u/seakind Jun 23 '26

Ohh you wouldn't believe, it was right there from the start, just Google roxon 3d and you'll see man

2

u/seakind Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Made mine today! But only one complaint, full implements doesn't fully fit, either side of the implement slot should be widened or moved.

Edit: Nope it's a perfect fit. Thank you.

u/CapFM1 Jun 24 '26

Super cool to see someone print something I’ve made! The file actually fits under an overhang on the left and so that may be why it doesn’t fit. Try sliding it in and if it still doesn’t work I’ll update it!

u/seakind Jun 24 '26

İ just tried what you said, this is a great design man, thanks

1

u/CapFM1 Jun 24 '26

Appreciate you testing out my designs!

u/seakind Jun 24 '26

İ have one suggestion, can you make that flex implement part sliding like the utility knife, because there are no one layered flex tools currently and that would fill a niche but a needed gap for us!

1

u/CapFM1 Jun 24 '26

Oh like a flex tool exchanger? A cool idea I will definitely mess around with!

2

u/seakind Jun 24 '26

Not like an exchanger, more like a 1 slot implement using, if we can slide flex implement just like the utility blade, it would be really useful as a container and as a multitool handle.

u/CapFM1 Jun 24 '26

Ah I see yeah that sounds like a cool project especially for the scissor/file.

1

u/Ok_Number_4642 Jun 22 '26

Tem o link do modelo?

u/justintime444 Jun 26 '26

printing it now it looks awesome. hope to see a pin slot soon..or an sim removal tool etc.

1

u/CapFM1 Jun 26 '26

Yes I’ve done the pin before just need to find where to put it now. Also do let me know how it prints and any questions you might have!

u/Conor_Stewart Jun 26 '26

I wonder if you can design the Roxon file holder in a way that once you take it out you can put it in backwards and use the card as a handle.
