Emergency Money Capsule

October 18, 2024
Description
When you are traveling it is always a good idea to have some spare money - just in case. But where to put it?
Therefore I designed the Emergency Money Capsule that can be attached to your keychain.
It fits a single 50€ note (140x77mm). The model can be scaled in the slicer to match larger banknotes.
Print preparation:
Make sure that your print bed is clean and grease-free and use a quality brand filament.
Print settings:
Use the 0.2mm standard settings. Support is not necessary but a brim and glue on your bed is recommended. Though it should not be needed, setting the z-hop to 0.8mm in the printer settings of your slicer can be a good idea. This helps to prevent that the model is knocked over by the nozzle while printing.
If you are having problems to roll the banknote really tight, just scale the model in the slicer a little bit larger. Same if you have notes that are larger than 140x77mm.
Assembly:
- Roll your 50€ note - roll it very tight, you might even need more than one try
- Insert the note into the caspule
- Make sure the note is sitting completely in the caspule like the photo shows
- Press the conical plug into the bottom end (press fit - push hard)
- Add it to your keychain
- If you need the money simple break the capsule in half
This is quite an old model I made more than five years ago. Since then I have the prototype on my keychain - and never opened it…
