Thin Wallet, ID Visible

thingiverse

I printed http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:123670 folding wallet casette and used it as a wallet for a few weeks. During this time, I added a rubber band to hold in my cash and I also thought it would be nice to be able to see my ID without opening my wallet. I dusted off my Blender skills and made some modifications. I added the window for my ID and I put a couple slits in the side for the rubber band. The rubber band without these modifications was encouraging the wallet to pop open on its own. This modified version still holds 4 cards in one side and the option of cash or additional cards on the other. The hinge prints in place and is flexible immediately. I printed this in PLA in high quality this time. For me, High Quality is 0.1mm layer height. You can see some of the lettering on the blue tape that transferred to the printed wallet in the pictures. This wallet should probably be printed in ABS. I gave a friend a print and she left it in the car dashboard on a hot day. The plastic deformed and it's no longer usable. I've not had this problem because I leave it in my pocket or on my nightstand. When this is printed in PLA, it is very tight for the first few days. I've been using a key to shove in and twist to open the wallet. After a few days, it is easy enough to open with your hands.
