Two low stands hold the card at a chosen angle, allowing repeatable placement without attaching anything to a camera or relying on printed color accuracy.","category":"Photography","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["Reference card width, height and thickness.","Desired viewing angle relative to the tabletop.","Space available beside the photographed object.","Maximum stand width that stays out of the frame."],"prompt":"Create a pair of small photo-card stands with card_thickness, slot_clearance, slot_depth, card_angle, foot_length and foot_width. Ask for missing dimensions and whether the card has a sleeve. Make broad low feet with a loose angled slot and a finger relief. Include a slot coupon. The printed part positions an existing card; it is not itself a calibrated color or exposure reference.","steps":[{"title":"Mock up the card angle","detail":"Use folded paper to hold the actual card in the intended photograph. Record the angle and mark positions where the stands will remain outside the composition."},{"title":"Model the locating slot","detail":"Create a short slot around the actual card thickness. Add a rounded entry and keep the contact region below the card's visible reference area."},{"title":"Review the feet","detail":"Extend the base around the leaning card in side view. Keep both stands identical and leave room to adjust their spacing along the lower edge."}],"checks":["Review a slot coupon before choosing final clearance.","Check that the stand does not obscure the reference area's usable surface.","Compare the footprint and card angle with the paper mockup."],"pitfall":"Using the printed plastic as the reference surface confuses a positioning accessory with a calibrated photographic reference.","scope":"An untested holder for a small lightweight card, not a lighting stand or camera support.","materialNotes":"PLA is an indoor prototype option. PETG is another candidate, but surface color is not a measurement standard.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/photo-white-card-stand","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/photo-white-card-stand/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/photo-white-card-stand/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=photo-white-card-stand#workspace","agent_handoff":"https://partsforagents.com/guides/cad-to-print#connect","full_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/mcp","free_advice_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/advice/mcp","tool_schemas":"https://partsforagents.com/tools.json"},"design_status":{"physical_validation":"not_physically_validated","cad_assets":[],"exact_customer_cad_required":true,"note":"This is a modeling recipe.
