Mini Wallet (flexible filament)
Mini Wallet (flexible filament)

There are already a lot of great mini wallets out there. This one is not particularly new or innovative, but I just wanted one that exactly fits my needs: Sometimes, all I carry is a single card and some cash, and I wanted to have a flexible case for that. In additon, I've included a little personal element in the form of a graph that reflects my monthly spending habits. The money/coin compartment is a bit tapered towards the top, so that it does not open too much and the money doesn't falls out by accident. Due to the flexible filament, you can stretch it a bit, and get out whatever you have in there.
It prints out fairly well: I used the Ultimaker TPU 95A filament, on an Ultimaker 2+. No supports required, as long as you print it upright. I've used the Ultimaker adhesion sheets, because I was a little afraid that it would fall over, due to the upright position. Please note that Ultimaker expicitely states one should not use these with TPU 95, because you won't get it off. Well, I didn't get it off, but that wasn't really a problem for me - I just left it on.
An experienced user will surely be able to get this to work on most printers that print flexible filament, but here I can only tell you how I was able to print it:
Print settings (back when I printed it, it was Cura 2.6.1):
Nozzle: 0.25
Material: TPU 95A
Layer height: 0.2mm
Infill: 20%
Support: No
Raft: No (for the print on the images, a brim was used)
