Description

Introduction

I bring you something very simple and utilitarian. As with previous projects, there's already a proliferation of similar items on 3D printing websites. – This is a card wallet featuring a clip that can be used both to securely close the wallet and to hold a few banknotes.

I took this opportunity to use carbon fiber effect build plates. Although “faux finishes” aren't typically my favorite thing, the aesthetic result is interesting, and I was eager to experiment with some build plates that I have and this wallet project provided the perfect excuse.

I've used the Carbon Fiber Surface from Bambu 3D Effect Sheet

The assembly is straightforward and can accommodate five cards, with the option to adjust for more or fewer cards, at the moment you can use the scale tool at the correct axis on the slicer of you preference.

Inserting and removing cards clip

A larger version, for 10 cards will be made available in a couple of days.

I know it might seem like the cards are punctured, but that's not the case. Instead, "blisters" are used for each card, allowing for easy handling without the risk of them falling out.

Variations and Material used:

The dark material used is the fantastic "Lava Grey," which is PLA+CF from Bambu Lab. However, you can use any material of your preference (PLA).

I chose this one for its deep matte finish. On the other hand, I know I lost some of the three-dimensional effect offered by the 3D build plate. Nonetheless, I personally prefer the subdued effect. If you desire maximum impact, then use regular PLA (be careful, these build plates are not suitable for PETG). Any of the Bambu lab regular PLA with the color of your choice will do, this red if the Prusament.

Assembling

The assembly is quite simple. There is only one consideration, which may depend on your printer. In some cases, the nut might offer some resistance when being screwed in. However, it's just a matter of patience and applying a bit more tightening force. If it proves impossible, first check if the thread was printed correctly or if there's any filament out of place. If necessary, you can adjust the scale on the two lateral axes to widen it.

printed on Bambu A1 with .6mm nozzle on .18mm “fine” settings in generic grey and Bambu orange pla. everything went together fine. I had to barely run my knife on the edge of the nut to get a starter point but other than that, everything went perfect.

that was a risky move on the 0.6mm nozzle, the fit on the thread was calculated for the 0.4mm nozzle, you loose 0.1mm on each side of the diameter... try to increase a little the flow, to close does gaps on the first layer. Maybe calibrating the filament will do.

It looks great but I think it still needs some improvements. The screw/nut had to be printed again at 0.12mm, otherwise there wasn't a real thread in the nut. (Just one small line of filament going up) Furthermore, I don't like how loose the cards sit in the wallet. Would be nice to make it a bit bigger and add a small overhang to the card holders to secure them better in place. I like the idea with the overhangs to create a different texture!

@JorgeRui

thanks. it’s a very simple thing, the primary reason has to test the new 3D build plates from BL. If people like it I will make it better. btw it is a very simple and fast print

Nice. Thanks!

I like the idea of this wallet, however, the center of the outermost parts of the wallet seems weak. However I’m anxiously awaiting the 10 card holder.
