Yet Another Ridge-like Slim Minimalist Wallet

thingiverse

While I designed this myself, I did so with much inspiration from several models found on the web. Mainly I just wanted something like a Ridge, and the satisfaction of doing it myself.There's not a whole lot to say about assembly, really.... 1) Use 1" elastic band sewed into an "O" shape for the top to bottom strip, and sew another small "U" shaped piece to the side of that for the side strip. It will resemble a sumo wrestler's loincloth when complete. Use the printed parts to gauge the cuts to the elastic. 2) Install the elastic and glue the top to the top middle and the bottom to the bottom middle. Some sort of clamp is recommended. I used CA glue and two 1/2 pieces of wood with a C-clamp. 3) The screws are mainly for show. Get some old laptop screws and just heat set them into the plastic with a fine tip soldering iron. Alternatively, you could do this in a legitimate fashion if you drill appropriately sized pilot holes for whatever small screws you wish to use. There are "guide holes" baked into the model and counter- sunk funnels for the screw heads that will help. I've also added a revised version of this wallet that's thinner, a few mm taller, and includes a belt clip. It also eschews screws entirely and just glues together (say that 10 times fast!). To aid alignment, there are male and female tabs to at least get you in the ballpark. Only one piece of elastic is needed, sewn into an "O" shape, and the clip can be glued to the surface of "OUT B".
