Minimalist Wallet

Description

Update (V2): I Made A Minor Update To The Shape Of The Slots To Help Keep The O-Rings In Place. In The First Iteration, I Found That They Would Sometimes Slip Off. This Is A Remix Of Guv'S Original Basic Wallet, Which I Can No Longer Find. The Original Basic Wallet Was, I Think, Very Well Designed And Was One Of My First Prints. After A Year Of Using It, A Couple Of Areas For Improvements Became Evident: * The Plates Were Bending - Raised Lettering On Credit Cards Caused The Middle To Bulge Slightly * The Band Slots Would Eventually Cause The O-Rings To Snap - Sharp Edges And A Wedge Shape Concentrated The Strain, Causing The Bands To Break After 8-10 Weeks Of Use. To Address Those, I'Ve Slightly Remixed Guv'S Original To Make The Plates Slightly Thicker And Used A Rounded Slot And Rounded The Outer Edges Of The Plates To Minimize Strain On The O-Rings. I Continued The Rounded Edges Around The Entire Piece To Make It More Pleasant To Hold In Your Hand. I'Ve Been Using 1/16" O-Rings From The Plumbing Section Of Any Hardware Store. I Find 3/8" Od X 1/4" Id To Be Much Too Small Unless You Only Carry 1 Or 2 Cards. My Preference Has Been To Use Either 7/16" Od X 5/16" Id (#206) Or 1/2" Od X 3/8" Id (#207) For 5+ Cards.
