OPEN FOLDER | DESKTOP INSTANT PHOTO ALBUM
UPDATE: April 5, 2026 I’ve added "WITH LESS TOLERANCE" files for those experiencing loose pages with the original design. This version features tighter fitments for a more secure hold. Tested and verified by the community!
This unique Instax Mini photo holder is designed to look like a classic OS folder; acting as a physical "directory" for your favorite moments.
Key Features:
-
Iconic Design: Styled like a Windows or Mac folder, this "book-style" case brings a touch of retro-tech to your desk or shelf.
-
Accordion-Style Display: Inside, discover 6 double-sided "pages" (connected in a zigzag/accordion fold) that hold up to 12 Instax Mini photos (86x54mm)
-
Magnetic Modularity: Equipped with powerful side magnets (10 x 2 mm), each folder snaps onto a customizable, expandable base. As your collection grows, simply add more base segments and "plug in" new folders
-
Fully Personalizable: Identify your "files" at a glance. Each folder can be customized with specific text, drawings, or logos to categorize your memories by date, event, or theme.

Hi, I've done some printing, but the "UNION.stl" come loose and no longer hold the structure in place. I used matte PLA could that be the problem? Do you have a file with larger locking tabs?
Hello! I released a new version yesterday (April 5) for anyone experiencing this issue! Please read the description and re download the design! Let me know if it works! Thank you so much Best regards ALFI
same encountered issue, good thing they uploaded new version, hoping the issue has been resolved. Have you tried printing the April 5 version? How was it?
Hi! It depends on your printer and the filament you're using.
If the first version comes off, I recommend printing the new April 5th version. It's already been printed and verified by the community, and it works perfectly!
Thank you so much ALFI
Hi ALFI, would definitely try printing the newly updated file version :) Thank you
Hello, I was having some difficulty attaching the connects between the photos as they seem to come off quite quickly, is there any troubleshooting tips you could recommend?

what are the print settings? any supports?
Standard setting, no support
How do I customize the text on the folder?
Click on the text and edit it. This is a basic slicer feature. I recommend watching a YouTube video to learn; it's very simple!
