Hi.

Does anyone know the radius for the small (item, classes) cards? I'm not sure if is 2mm or 3mm maybe one of you know better.

Thanks!

Do you mean thickness? I am assuming that based on the dimensions you suggested. I don't think they're even a mm thick, as a stack of 10 of them is not a cm.

No no, I mean the radius, you know they have rounded corners right? So I'm looking for a corner trimmer and I'm not sure if I have to buy a 3mm or a 2mm one.

Oh, see that makes much more sense now. The radius is pretty close to 2 mm. I'm just going off of a picture like this where the whole top of the card is 41mm and 250 pixels. The radius of the corner circle looks to be 12-14 pixels, which would make it about 2mm. Unit conversion is fun, kids!

I have two master's degrees and I have never felt more stupid than this moment right now. What the heck is a card trimmer and why would you want to trim the cards? :wacko:

It may be why you did not understand !

Hahaha, thanks guys. Looking to other pictures is true that it looks like a 2mm radius. This is a corner trimmer used for scrap booking for example:

You basically insert the picture and it rounds the corner but those are bigger than what I need. The 2mm or 3mm trimmers are more expensive and look like this:

And basicalle yes, is to create my own items and to print my own class

Small card radius?
