Description
Curved, hollowed version uploaded that doesn't require any heating!
print at 50-65%, nylon or more flexible materials work better.
========================================================================
I've been working on a minimalist wallet design to get CNC cut, but haven't had much luck with my 3-axis nomad 883. 3d printing was a different story, and I was able make some designs that wouldn't work on my 3-axis CNC.
I figured I would upload the version I've been using as my daily wallet, since it was the most complete.
Should hold 9-10 cards (10 if they're flat-print, 9 if a few have raised numbers) or 6-8 cards and some cash.
Best printed from PLA, nylon or PLA-based specialty plastics (bronzefill, woodfill, proto-pasta, etc). The clip needs some spring tension and ABS tends to snap at stress points.
Printing:
Print at .1-.2mm layer height with supports, a brim is fine for the base if you also have scaffold supports enabled. Infill density should be between 80 and 100%, print at a scale of 102% for proper fit (printing at 100% means you get ~1 less card of space inside due to rounded corners on the top/bottom being slightly too narrow).
Post-Print:
Remove support material, heat the tab until pliable and form into a bent spoon shape, repeat if you don't get enough retention pressure on cards.
