Based on the Hardcase wallet (and the use of it) and a pre-assembled hinge, I designed this "Folding wallet cassette". The idea is that cards go in one side and cards + money goes on the other side. Just printed version 4 and I'm getting real proud of it! Some features:
* Holds 4 cards on one side (2 in slim version)
* Holds cards, money, small change and other things on the other side
* Looks great
* Great usability with minimalistic design
The design goal is minimalism as well as usability. When I first saw a printable hardcase wallet I instantly had the urge to print it. So small, yet it can contain cards, small change and paper money. I decided to make my own parametric version in OpenSCAD and started using one.
I tend to have about 5 cards and small change + paper money. It was soon clear that my 5 cards were impractical, especially when having loose money too. After fiddling with it I decided to make a foldable version with cards on one side, while having the money on the other side. I saw the preassembled hinge and also fell in love with that.
The first version has two holes on the top. The cards slide in sideways. The body was cut in half, except for the long side - on one half it has the closing lid while the other side has an opening to slide the cards out. It looks like a cassette tape hence the name.
Problems with v1 is that you could not easily find the card you need. Also small change tend to fall out because the side is divided…
