I'm questioning if the walls will be flexible enough to hold about 1cm of bus- and credit cards between them? Do you have any insights about this?

Thanks a lot!!!!!

This will allow you to hold 1 card, up to approx. the width of the gap when full open.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-08-20T13:07:52-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52882&th=10586#msg_52882
Thanks a lot for taking time to reply!

I'm going to use a rubber band to hold the cards in. Are you saying the walls will be too inflexible to extend to about 1cm?

Cool idea with the clamp too! ]]> rune_kg 2012-08-20T14:29:25-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52883&th=10586#msg_52883 Youknowwho4eva 2012-08-20T14:31:41-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52884&th=10586#msg_52884
> It would probably still be better to have a radius on the inside to help if flex.

Trying to understand, am a bit new to talking about models. You mean to make the "connection" between the upper and lower part a halfcircle, thus making the connecting part thinner?

This I don't understand at all. Sorry! ]]> rune_kg 2012-08-20T14:41:19-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52885&th=10586#msg_52885

Thanks for explaining!!! Got it now. Will make the gap larger and use a radius instead as you explained!

Thanks a lot!!!
