Credit card cover

Last crawled date: 5 years, 3 months ago

I made it for my personal needs: I use only one credit card that always in my pocket with keys, coins and etc. The card required some protection.
Now this thing in the beta test. I'm checking it in "the wild world".
So, make the model itself is not a big deal. But how to print it - that was a real task :)
I made a special supports for it, see on pictures.
The cover model and the supports model are separated, you'll need to combine them in the slicer. In Cura and IdeaMaker it is easy to make: just set all position coordinates to zero. And you should allow to slicer intersect models. That's all.
Why not just make a combined model? Well, these supports is a version #3. With the fisrt one the slicer considered the supports a part of the main model and incorrectly prepared the walls. I decided don't merge them in the the further versions. And it is not so difficult to pose two models in the slicer directly.
Here is the source in Thinkercad.
Versions
There are two versions that differ only in the thickness of the walls.
I'm assuming that for PETG and SBS will be good enough 0.8mm, for PLA and ABS - 1.2mm. As far as I printed only one version for now (0.8mm), I can't assert that other version will be fine too.
