Gift Card Caddy

thingiverse

I created this slider box out of necessity after stumbling upon several forgotten gift cards. The box holds around eight gift cards and has room for more. Increasing accessibility for a few extra cards might be worth exploring. I may add the blend file to improve functionality in the future. My initial print was made with PLA black, but I later realized that the letters were reversed - an obvious mistake. For my next print, I used PET Maroon at the same temperature as PLA. However, when I tried printing with PET at a higher temperature, it resulted in more curl, so I reverted back to PLA settings. The images are printed with default PLA and low resolution. To enhance functionality, I might need to add width to the side rails, but they seem to work well and slide smoothly for now. Given its thin design, this slider box wouldn't make a suitable pocket carrier, as the lid may come loose. I designed it specifically for use on my sun visor, so an update with a visor clip is likely in the works soon.
