Description

VI-Wallet 66.6 - Optimizing Card Wallets

I have:

  • …slimmed down the back wall after realizing it was unnecessarily thick/rigid without compromising stability.
  • …completely overhauled the Safety Mechanism after extensive work on it.
  • …introduced a removable grip to the sides using modifiers in the slicer for those who prefer different aesthetics or tactile feel, available in Bambu studio.
  • …shortened the wallet slightly to prevent the cards from moving around. 

→A Smart version, featuring a drawer for cash and coins, will be released soon.

Due to issues with different printers and materials in the VI-Wallet 66 and VI-Wallet 66 Smart, I conducted tests with various materials this time.

Here's what I discovered:

  • Bambu Matte PLA is somewhat softer, which allows the cards to carve paths into the wallet, gradually reducing the mechanism's effectiveness. Update: I believe this issue has now been resolved by reinforcing the Safety.
  • Elegoo Basic PLA is very durable and provides an extremely high-quality feel, akin to nice injection molding more than any other filament I've encountered.
  • Basic PLA and PLA+ consistently yield the best printing results, leading to fewer print failures or unusable models.
    Avoid printing at high speeds. Stick to Quiet/- or Normal/-Mode.
  • In conclusion, I personally recommend using Basic black PLA and printing at normal speed for its aesthetic appeal and fewer complications.

The slider is stuck? Try this: 

Firstly, this is quite common with print-in-place mechanical parts, so don't worry.

Use your finger or a tool to gently separate the top of the slider-circle from the wallet body; this usually resolves the issue.

If necessary, apply some pressure to the internal piece at the bottom of the wallet.

Still unresolved?

Two possibilities remain:

The bottom of the wallet may be fused, which can be remedied by carefully inserting a knife between the external and internal part.

 

Cheers.

printed great and works great as well. the only thing I don’t like is where the profile placed the seam. it’s right in front smack dab in the middle. I’m not going to dock a star for this because it still printed decent and works. Form come second to function for me. very nice design!

Thank you for pointing this out, I really don´t know why it does that. I willl adjust the printprofile in a second:) Can you also tell me what filament you used?

Replying to @Wassmer_MBM :
you may need to just paint the seam in one of the back edges or on one of the thin sides. It probably didn’t see an optimal placement so it just continued up from where it was until it did hit a better spot. I used Bambu PLA-CF Matcha green. Probably not the best filament for this, but I’ll see how long it holds up. If it breaks I’ll reprint in PETG-CF.

Good idea, I just placed the seam to one of the edges on the back. And also thanks again for your rating, the booster, as well as the input on filament etc. !!! :)

Just another card holder lol it seems like everytime I find another file I print them. This one I tried that new Bambu lab PETG (I think it's HF PETG)¿ I think that's why it had a harder time near the top (see photo).

Print as intended. I needed to cut the bottom of the print to make the mechanism work.

it's a good print, work as intended. I had to cut the bottom part so it can move.

Standing tall! Was concerned that it would topple but nope, all's well. Works like a charm.
