3D Printed Parts and Files from MaxWaxPax

I will be creating more and more 3D-printed designs for the fi-8170 and other scanners. I will also be working on ideas for stands, displays, and other items. If you think of something you would like me to design, please let me know.

fi-8170 feeder arm V3 (fix for tab sticking) - 06/10/24

  • Click here to purchase this item from us. If you wish to print the file, you can find all the printing information below.
  • Click here to download the STL
    • Note: The image is 10X the normal size. When printing, reduce to 1/10 or 10%.
    • Note: The V3 has been updated to address a potential issue where the piece may stick to the plastic tab in the enclosure on the fi-8170.
    • This fix works best with sleeved cards.
    • You will need a pushpin or something similar to feed through the hole to keep this in place.
    • Remove both original "feeder arms". Save them and the springs. You will use one spring for this print.
    • Insert the new printed piece and use the push pin to anchor it. Close it up, and you are good to go.

Scanning Supplies I Use from MaxWaxPax

Here is a list of items that I use when scanning cards. All the items are found on Amazon and are usually in stock. I will continue to add to this list as I acquire more items to assist with the scanning process. Please know that I do not have affiliate links attached to these items. These are standard reference links. Purchase what you like, when you like!
