Slim card wallet (8 cards, multicolor)

prusaprinters

<p>After printing both the amazingly designed <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/246961-cascade-card-wallet-print-in-place">Cascade card wallet (Print-in-place) from Hugo</a><strong> </strong>and the remix for <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/261476-assemble-after-print-cascade-card-wallet-remix">multiple parts (Assemble after Print - Cascade Card Wallet Remix) by 815 Design</a>, I wanted to join in by creating a design for 8 cards.&nbsp;</p><p>Since I did not like the print-in-place mechanism of the original (too rough in daily use for me, as 815 design mentioned too) and would like some color added to my wallet, I based my design on that of 815 Design.</p><p>Now you can have both the benefits of stronger, more durable PETG for the body and smoother mechanics and more colors outside with PLA while having up to 8 cards on the inside!</p><p><strong>Gcode files</strong></p><p>Attention: I've added GCODE files for indication purposes (time, weight) only. I recommend you do the slicing yourself so its optimal for your machine and filament!<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Pictures</strong></p><p>A small note about the pictures: I've personalized the lever part in the pictures. The lever added here is fully textured without any text.<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printing the body</strong></p><ul><li>The body is best printed standing up.&nbsp;</li><li>I would recommend PETG for durability. It will work with PLA, but then my cards have the tendency to slide out more easily.&nbsp;</li><li>No supports are needed.</li><li>2 perimeters work just fine.</li><li>Be careful with the seams. For some odd reason my PrusaSlicer 2.5 made some real obvious seams at the front. Might be best to define them yourself.</li><li>0.4mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height with 15% gyroid infill<br><br><img class="image_resized" style="width:54.94%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/282245/rich_content/825909aa-b91f-47cf-be65-9f8942f76d34/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223d6fef66-644c-4bd3-b409-d43409c2cfe8%22%2C%22w%22%3A661%2C%22h%22%3A795%7D"></li></ul><p><strong>Printing the rest</strong></p><ul><li>I placed the <strong>lever </strong>horizontally for optimal strength characteristics and used 3 perimeters.</li><li>Other parts use 2 perimeters.</li><li>The cap can be printed on its face, but the slope causes a bad surface on my Prusa mini. Therefor I print it with the face up and a very snug support on the inside.</li><li>0.4mm nozzle, 0.15 mm layer height with 15% gyroid infill</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/282245/rich_content/bc9cdb2a-fc3f-46af-bba8-7b53be2fb62e/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%229ee1495d-653b-4e78-a390-bb8e93975725%22%2C%22w%22%3A1048%2C%22h%22%3A629%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Assembly</strong></p><p>The fun part is to assemble everything.&nbsp;</p><ol><li>Lay the body on its backside, so that the lever recess is facing up.</li><li>Slide the inner fan inside. Be sure that the part for the lever is on the correct side. The fully flat side should go in first so that the rounded parts face the (soon to be in there) cards.</li><li>Align the cross of the fan to the hole in the body. I used a little screwdriver for this.&nbsp;</li><li>Press the lever through the inner fan. It will be a tight fit!</li><li>Turn the body around and press the cap on. I used a little PVC glue to make sure it will not detach any time soon.</li><li>You are ready to add cards to your new wallet!</li></ol><p><br>I'm using the wallet only for a couple of weeks now and everything is still working smoothly. I might add extra models with some sort of card release mechanism so the cards can not slide out unwanted when there are less then 8 cards present.</p><p><br>If you appreciate my effort, go ahead and give this remix a like!</p>
