Nearly every 3d printed wallet is a hardcase wassel or card holder; thats okay but I'm not a fan of it and I also need space for cash and the change.

So lets break down a simple normal wallet:

• its foldable
• space for cards
• space for bills
• and a coin pocket

Alright lets take these four topics to design the perfect 3D printed wallet.

I don't want a hardcase wallet and it should be foldable?

• Only solution here is, flexible material. so I choose TPU with a shore hardness of 95A

Space for Cards and for Bills aren't that challenging.

I just need to create small pockets which dont fuse together while printing. Thats how I came up with the design and Print orientation like it is. Closed and standing up.

There are 3 Slots for 3-4 Cards each! so up to 12 Cards in total!

The most challenging part to design was the coin pocket.

I don't wanted to change the orientation of the model so I needed to fit it in like the model was set.
I designed it so it can be enlarged by itself after printing. And also the lash ist coming down perfect so the holes for the buttons will just allign perfectly.
I use this push buttons for the coinpocket, you can find it on Amazon.

Since then I used it as my regular wallet and it survived without any damage. It just got a little bit dirty over the time while i tested it by using it every day!

Print it standing up, like it’s orientated in the file.
Use a brim to get better bed adhesion!
Use 2 Perimeter and Infill around 30%, no Support and ofcourse use TPU
