I designed a two card credit card frame (keychain-wallet) that would hold two cards securely.
The first credit card slides (and or weaves) over a spring, under the centerpiece, and then over the other spring. You then click the credit card firmly into the frame. Pictures show how the credit card clicks in.
There is little (or no) tolerance within the interior of the frame. I printed at 100% scale and obtained a tight a click-in fit.
By printing on the long edge (pictured) the layers are being orientated to maximise the limited flex of PLA.The soft-flex of the credit card also contributes to the design.
One way or the other you are going to have to use support to print this model. I printed on one long edge and the default settings on simplify3d support peeled away easily. I also printed with very rough .35 resolution. The part printed cleanly, but you can see a support thread in one of the pictures. These threads are easily removed.
I used the rostock max V2 for printing but I may reprint this gadget on The Flashforge creator pro using PLA and Poly Support.
In one of the photographs you will also see some great models that will share the keychain;
1) A great keychain container http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1692698
2) An V29 emergency whistle http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1179160
