Casette tape wallet with slider

Remix of the print-in-place "Wallette" by ANOROC. Please also check out their original design. 

The Cassette Wallet is put together with a print-in-place 2 identical top and bottom plates, a middle plate, 2 spindle plates, and 4 spindles which are glued together. I wanted to add a slider to the model in order to make the process of removing cards easier and more fun.

All parts have been rescaled from the original and the middle plate has been modified to fit and accommodate a slider. Main modifications were to the middle plate to which had design changes to accommodate the slider. I added a hole on the left side of the middle plate for a slider and a small protrusion on the right side to lock the slider in place which requires some force (applied to the slider) to move past. The slider is an original design which holds the cards in place. 

The slider reduced the capacity to hold cards from 5 to 4 but hopefully added more fun in the removal process :)

Notes:

• Do not glue the spindles and slider in the middle to allow for movement. Be careful gluing around them to prevent glue from accidentally sticking to it. 

• Everything was printed with a layer height of 0.1mm as the moving and locking mechanism for the slider are very small

• Be careful not to bend the slider when removing it (a brim can help with this)

Issues with my iteration:

• Having a handle on the left side and block on the right side creates an asymmetry which can cause the right side of the slider to get stuck.

• Fixes for this are to bend the right side of the slider a little to free it (going up) and pushing it down from the top (going down).

• Making the design symmetrical by having the handle (slider) and small block (slider and middle plate) on both sides may prevent this issue
