Ricoh / Fujitsu fi-8170 3D Replacement Arm

Fujitsu / Ricoh fi-8170 – Replacement Pick Arm for TCG Cards (Scratch-Free)

If you digitize your trading cards (Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! & more) with the Fujitsu/Ricoh fi-8170, you know the issue: the original pick arm leaves fine scratches on the card surface as it feeds through – a real problem for valuable cards or cards you plan to grade.

This 3D-printed replacement arm fixes exactly that. The contact surface is designed so cards run through the feeder cleanly and scratch-free. Shape and mounting are a 1:1 match to the original – installs without tools and without modifying the scanner.

✅ Scratch-free card feeding ✅ Exact replacement for the OEM part ✅ Tool-free installation ✅ Perfect for collectors & grading prep

Print Settings

• Material: PETG (tougher and more abrasion-resistant than PLA, smooth-gliding surface)
• Layer height: 0.08 mm (Extra Fine – for an especially smooth contact surface)
• Print speed: 50% (slower = cleaner result, fewer ridges)
• Infill: 30–40%
• Supports: none / minimal (model-dependent)
• Orientation: keep the contact surface as smooth as possible (face up)
