Toucan wallet

Update: I redesigned the money clip so that it holds bills firmly now. Some users were complaining that the bills fell out even after "locking," which is no longer an issue with this new design. The material used (nylon) should last for a long time, and I added an alternate thumb cap as an option. Another wallet with a money clip and card holder has been designed, inspired by my Kingfisher Wallet but with a revamped money clip. This clip should last much longer than conventional curved plastic clips, which are prone to weakening after use. The slider on this wallet is also updated for better performance. The rest of the design should be familiar territory if you know my work. I have some orders already, so I'm sharing this design with you so you can use it or sell it. To assemble this wallet, slide the cap to the right to show cards. Print Settings: * Printer Brand: Printrbot * Printer: Printrbot Simple Metal * Rafts: No * Supports: Yes * Infill: 30% * Notes: I used nylon to print the entire wallet. Nylon proved best for the money clip's longevity, and I love printing with it (Taulman Alloy). You will also need some form of flexible filament like Ninjaflex or Poly Flex, or you can use a thick rubber band. Some glue is required but it's straightforward. After printing all the parts, place the swivel and slider as shown in the photo into the body. Make sure the slider is all the way to the left and that the swivel is horizontal. Next are the stoppers for the cards so they won't fall out. If you use TPU filament, print a strip 5mm wide and 0.7mm thick (experiment with how your printer prints the thickness), or you can use a wide rubber band. Once they are cut to look like the photo, test your cards. If they are too hard to push up with the swivel, cut off pieces of one of the rubbers and keep testing and cutting till you get the perfect balance of smooth motion and cards not falling out easily. That's the hardest part done! Next, slide over the cover onto the body till the slot at the bottom of the cover is directly over the opening in the slider. The cap should be able to be stuck into the slider and "lock" the cover on. Put a little crazy glue on the extruded part of the cap so that it stays in when you place it. The front is done! The money clip is easy to assemble. Simply orient it the way it looks in the picture and use a piece of filament as a hinge and melt the sides of the filament to flatten and lock it into place. Finally, use some 3M transfer tape or strong glue to attach the two together (the body and money clip section – make sure you don't do it upside down). And voila! You're done. If you have questions, ask away and if you make one, upload it!
