Description
BETA VERSION
The Dovetail Wallet was designed to be a modular (customizable) solution to fit different peoples EDC. The dovetail rail lets attachments click in and change the entire function. The mechanism driving the cards is a spring loaded trigger, designed to be pressed by the palm of your hand. On the top of the trigger is a card lock that keeps cards in place even when the wallet is turned upside down. There is an optional flexible strap that bolts on the back to hold cash.
Attachments
!!Press the trigger 100 times before use!! A drop of printer lubricant on the gears can help

Assembly Instructions
A little about me
I am a 5th grade teacher who spends his summer 3D modeling and printing for side income. This wallet stemmed out of the idea that 3D prints CAN be functional. Being in education, my routine and EDC change frequently, and so should the functionality of my wallet! I will be rolling out a ton of attachments that cater to my lifestyle, but also want to consider you or your customers. Let me know if their are any attachments that you desire and I will add them to the list.
