Credit card cover

thingiverse

I created this item to suit my personal requirements: I use a single credit card that is always in my pocket with keys, coins and other essentials. The card needed some added protection. **This project is currently in beta testing**. I'm putting it through its paces in the real world. So, while the model itself isn't a major challenge, figuring out how to print it proved to be a significant task :). I designed special supports for it, which you can see in the pictures. The cover model and the support models are separate, so you'll need to combine them using a slicer. In Cura and IdeaMaker, this is easily done by setting all position coordinates to zero. You should also allow the slicer to intersect with the models. That's all. Why not simply create a combined model? Well, these supports are version #3. With the first one, the slicer considered the supports as part of the main model and incorrectly prepared the walls. I decided against merging them in future versions. And it's not too difficult to load two models into the slicer directly. Here is the source code on Thinkercad: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/8ChGVlZn5sd #### Versions There are two versions, differing only in the thickness of the walls. I assume that 0.8mm will be sufficient for PETG and SBS, while PLA and ABS will require 1.2mm. As I've only printed one version so far (0.8mm), I can't confirm whether other versions will work as well.
