Side elevation

Looking at the wallet from the top edge, thickness ×4. The magnet ring reads as one continuous band across the phone face under its clear cover; the 16 segment joints show as fine lines. Numbers are true and follow the table.

Kick-off checklist

Everything to buy, then every build step in order. Tick as you go; the ticks stay saved in this browser.

What to buy

Build, in order

Laser files

Every file you need, generated live from the design above: the plates (both faces), and for the moulded hinge every mould part. Change any option and the files update. Enter your last measured cut to correct for your laser.

Cut a true-size file and measure it (designed 60 × 87 mm), then enter what you got:True size

Coupon test (cut this first)

A 20 × 30 mm slice of one hinge edge with every real feature, plus its own small mould. Prove the pockets, the fill and the bond on this before cutting full plates.

Plates are cut first (outer faces), then flipped for the inner-face recesses. Mould clamps are drill templates: print at 100%. The README in the zip has the job order and the MakeIt settings in panel order.

Build guide · moulded TPU hinge

Everything to make the moulded-hinge wallet, start to finish: what it is, what to buy, what to cut, how to build the mould, how to pour it and how to test it. The drawings below are generated from the same geometry as the 3D model and the laser files, so the numbers match.

1 · What it is and what it does

A strip of rubber is moulded round the top and bottom edges of the two titanium plates. On each plate it locks through a row of small holes (staggered between the plates, countersunk on the inside so each plug flares and can't pull out). The only rubber joining the two plates is the thin wrap round each edge: when cards go in, that wrap stretches; when they come out, it pulls the plates shut. No glue, no ends to peel, nothing to unravel.

Top plate, outer face: flush face bands and plugs
Base plate, phone side: back bands and mushroom heads

Mould in 3D

The mould now lives in the 3D model at the top of the page: switch the view from Wallet to Mould.

4 · Step by step

Do it on the coupon first (the coupon files are the same build at 20 × 30 mm, a slice of one edge). Once the coupon passes the tests in section 5, do the full wallet with the same steps.

5 · Tests: does it pass?

Do the coupon first if you have it, then the full wallet. If one fails, note which and what you saw; that tells us which part of the design to change.
