Jack of plate

Post by Ian Mac D »

Just finished my first attempt at a jack of plate. Not perfected but overall a decent attempt (and it stands up on its own!).

Went with plastic since it was my first attempt and the plastic was free. It also means I can throw the entire thing in a washer and clean it when I need to.

Primarily Flat sheets of ABS plastic and some curved ABS plastic. I lost count but I estimate around 500 1.5"x2.5" plates. The shapes were rectangular with the corners cut of into an elongated octagon, with a hole punched through the center.
