Flex Wallet (Flexible TPU Wallet)

thingiverse

The original design is not mine, but when I try to access the source (youmagine link) it returns errors. Here's the original and anything else I could find on the "XYZ Ultimater Wallet": https://www.instructables.com/3D-Printable-Mens-Wallet-and-Womens-Clutch/ https://www.youmagine.com/designs/men-s-wallets-by-xyz-workshop# https://www.youmagine.com/designs/wallet https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:335757 I have uploaded all of the original designer's files as well as the ones I modified. The only one I've printed though is "MOIRE-_Wallet_Blank.stl". I've also uploaded the original instructions, but below is basically what I did... 1. Print in TPU (I used Zyltech's black TPU) 2. Starting with the bottom half... 3. Fold the parts and tabs 4. Create "creases" for the folds by applying heat (I covered the wallet with a thin towel and carefully used an iron). 5. Using very little adhesive (I used dimethylformamide), glue/bond each fold's point of contact 6. Clamp the glued locations to set the adhesive (I used clothes pins) 7. Wait for it to dry, remove the clamps and check that the folds were not over-glued. If so, cut away with a hobby knife. 7. Repeat the above steps for the top half of the wallet 8. Optional: Fold the completed wallet in half and soften the fold using heat 9. Optional: Print a couple of the SimpleCard files in PLA/PETG and insert in each half of the wallet for rigidity (I used PLA, embossed mine with my name and phone number, included a color change half way). Not my video, but I found this very helpful for TPU adhesive options https://youtu.be/Oqh01j7ZG_s
