Description
This is a modification of the Maker Wallet by Agustin Arroyo, with some fixes that make it work much better in my opinion.
This remix adds holes designed for small magnets. 4mm in diameter and ~1.8mm thickness. These magnets help lock the lid in place, and allow me to more easily use the parts without glue, which makes it quite easy to swap any pieces quickly. I also wanted to hold more cards in my mod, so I used Joe Schmoe's 6 card remix as a strong starting point.
⚠Be careful with magnets and magstripe cards⚠
The magnetic strip on a credit card can be erased with a strong magnet. I placed all the magnets on the bottom of the wallet in order to (hopefully) prevent any issues here. Where I live, magstripes are rarely used, and so I am not personally very concerned. However, I recommend you be careful, and use your own judgement, to prevent issues there.
List of changes from Agustin's original design:
Things that could still use improvement: I'd like to experiment with slightly shrinking the base size, as mine is very roomy for my cards. I may redo the cash compartment a little, too, so that it more easily fits cash without having to align it just right. I also find that currently, the locking bump is a little too strong, (easy temporary fix is to slightly cut some of it off). I also would like to try changing the part of the lid which holds the cards in place, to extend down below the base, and lock in place, because mine sometimes allows one card to break free. In it's current state, however, I do find the wallet quite usable.
