3D Printed Wallet: 10 Curated Models to Keep Your Money Safe

After combing through dozens of 3D printable wallet designs, we’ve narrowed down our selections to just 10 of the best wallets that we could find. From classic bifolds to slim monoliths, there is almost certainly a wallet here for everyone.

What’s even better is that you can customize each of the shapes to better match your needs. Have an oddly-sized paper bill? Scale up the design. Want a slightly thicker wallet for more compartment space? Scale that model up a bit.

Without further ado, here are some of the coolest 3D printable wallet designs.

The Smart Wallet by b03tz is a head turner, and the dual-color effect allows for a lot of unique customization. As a wallet, it really begins to shine with some useful features:

• Storage for 5 plastic cards
• A lever that separates the cards as the wallet opens
• Secret storage area for keys, SD cards, and notes
• A slim profile at just 14 mm thick

These chainmail wallets by Thingiverse user Sunshine are really unique.  There are five different versions of the wallet, with the links here pointing to the ones with exposed magnets. The designs are fairly simple with print-in-place instructions and a simple side-click assembly process to fold together.

• Flexible design allowing it to fit in any pocket comfortably
• Holds a variety of objects securely
• Requires six 3-mm magnets for the clasps

When printing, try printing the zipper test STL file first so that horizontal expansion adjustments can be made for your specific printer.

This collection of designs from Frank Lumien is designed to be printed in flexible materials like TPE or Ninjaflex. Flexible 3D printed materials tend to feel better in the hand, as they bend, flex, and are easier to grip. In this case, the flexibility allows the wallet to grab and squeeze your cards and cash so they don’t fall out too easily.

• Squeezes and secures your cards when printed in flexible materials
• The Full stores 6 cards and paper money
• The Mini vertically stores 5 cards and has a central compartment

For a more natural feel, try printing this “Tiny Wallet” in a wood-filled material. Who doesn’t love the lightness and strength of wood?  Printing it in Corkfill would retain the wood feel but also give it more of a darker look.

• A bottom indent enables pushing the cards out.
• Rounded corners for a better pocket feel
• Stores 4 cards and has a central compartment
• Wood can be finished to achieve different colors and textures
