Slim Rupee Styled Wallet for Sliding Cards

thingiverse

Sliding Card Wallet\nSwag in style with the subtle Hylian accent brandishing your wallet. This wallet features two slots that can comfortably hold 4* of your most prized cards close at hand. You can easily select your card with one hand by rotating and sliding it into place. Features one easy open slot for quick access, and one tighter slot to keep your cards from slipping away.\nInspired by a beautiful design, I crafted this with openSCAD, so you can easily modify it to fit your unique style.\n*Depending on your print settings\nStory\nI've been using dadhoc's Another Slim Wallet with MetroCard Slot for over a year now, and it's served me well. My cards loved the comfort it provided, but after months of use, they started feeling cooped up. The old cards were replaced with new ones, and the new cards began to resent the wallet, viewing it as more of a confinement than a convenience. The stresses of life and my pocket took their toll on the little PLA child, causing it to creak under pressure. Due to poor layer bonding, the 'bars' of the cage cracked, and later snapped away. A new design was urgently needed.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n RepRap\n \n Printer: \n Prusa i3\n \n Rafts: \n No\n \n Supports: \n No\n \n Resolution: \n .2\n \n Infill: \n 100\n \n Notes: \n I used a 0.5 nozzle, and if you're not getting success printing 1mm walls, I recommend adjusting the wall thickness to match your nozzle size for better results. I printed using a brim to avoid any spaghetti-like mess.\nPost-Printing\nDepending on your print settings, you may need to scrape away some of the plastic at the bottom slot before inserting any cards. I used an exacto knife to remove the rest of the brim from the slot.\nHow I Designed This\nWhy settle for three slots when one will do? I added the "Bubble" windows first, aligning them perfectly with the slot. Due to printer settings, my initial print suffered from poor bridging, giving the 'bubbles' a rough appearance. I decided to correct this by incorporating diagonally rotated squares. The squares looked acceptable, but not quite right. After some tweaking, I arrived at a rupee design.
