2 piece moneyclip
Description
This money clip is the latest evolution of my earlier work which has found difficulty with print orientation and has needed much support. The money clip itself is a sprint and must be printed vertically, however printing the card holder in this manner leaves it weak and requires support through the window. The card holder does not benefit being made from advanced materials the same way as the money clip. My latest money clip functioned great for 10 months until it was overstuffed and cracked on the clip. Mo money mo problems. This clip can be made with both parts in optimal orientation and no support. Step 1. Print the clip first in the vertical orientation and remove any elephant's foot on the bottom before pausing the card holder to insert. My current clip is ASA, this is the component that will take the most stress and benefit the most from advanced materials. Step 2. Slice the money clip body with a pause or color change at the first layer past 16. When I print at 0.2 layer height it's 16.2 for me. Step 3. Insert clip into body during pause, I was able to do this with a firm push with my thumb, no hammer required, if it's difficult, sand or file the money clip a bit. Make sure the elephants foot is gone off the bed side of the clip as this will interfere with insertion, and be harder to address later on the rest of the clip. Please share your make, I'm still testing this myself. Ask if you want an unbranded version.
