Cascade card wallet (Print in place)
Description
Presenting this pop-up card wallet creation, featuring a convenient front swipe mechanism for accessing cards effortlessly. Designed for seamless printing in-place, this wallet is hassle-free and ready for immediate use straight from your printer.
Emphasizing simplicity and minimalism, the design prioritizes user-friendly functionality. While it's a print-in-place creation, a bit of gentle pressure may be required to ensure smooth movement.
The cards securely stay in position thanks to the two front slots leveraging the plastic's elasticity, preventing them from slipping out even when the wallet is upside down. To enhance stability, I divided the retention mechanism into two parts, incorporating a non-straight groove on one side to avoid overstretching the plastic and inadvertently releasing other cards.
Printing
I recommend printing in PETG (PLA tends to lose the tension with the cards over time)
Nozzle : 0.4mm
layer height : 0.2mm
no support
Print the model upright.
