LeatherMint on Nostr: Fixed? ...

Fixed?



New cardholder was bending the cards quite a lot (1)

So I used oversized 3d printed cards to stretch them (2)

To get this result (3)

The only thing bothering me now is I won't be sending them absolutely brand new. They'll be pre-stretched.

I'm looking back at the picture and I can barely see the difference myself. It can mostly be felt. There's no strong tension on the cards in #3.

I made a lot of very Important cardholders and when I'm nearing the end I'm seeing how grave of a mistake I made.

Usually I use less stiff leathers. But I used a new one for these and it is pretty stiff. Before starting production, I'm not dumb, I did some testing. I saw I had to do them larger than usual to compensate for stiffness because it was bendingthe cards. So I did them slightly larger. "Slightly* because I was worrying about making them too large. But that was an horrible mistake.

I'm nearing the end and I can't see anything but the cards bending when they are in. I will be attempting to loosen the leather with fake cards before sending them but I don't know if that will be enough.

It's eating me inside. It should be better. It should be better but it is like this, I can't go back and I must accept the results.
