My take on a Honeycomb cutout style wallet card for Apple Airtags. Â
Once or twice a year I tend to misplace my wallet somewhere. It usually winds up turning up somewhere in the garage or in the car, under the seat! Â An Apple Air Tag would be a great way to help mitigate some of the stress associated with this seemingly recurring phenomenon.
This model is not just a simple infill hack (the infill-hack AirTag Card version was born on ThingVerse btw), or a simple SolidWorks fill-pattern cutout. This model took quality time to get the cutout pattern symmetrical, getting the star pattern around the AIrTag cutout in the middle just right, while maintaining a proper strength to density ratio. Â Â
Features:
Aesthetically pleasing, filament-saving honeycomb cutout, with a neat star pattern surrounding the middle cutout.
Though testing, it's a perfect balance between ultralightweight (flimsy) and structural integrity (strength). Â My testing showed that thinner honeycomb walls takes a hit in the durability department, while walls thicker than the walls used in the is model (or smaller cutouts) made it bulky and unnecessarily dense in my opinion. Â Smaller cutout are also more prone to collect debris.
Printing and use:
Super-Simple print, I decided to keep the cutout faces clean & flat (no bevels or fillets on them) so it would keep things simple & sharp when printing. Â Slices & Prints clean as a whistle!
Tolerance issues / The Airtag Fits too tight or too loose on my printer - Tolerances and accuracy are slightly different in every printer. I've intentionally created the cutout a bit on the tighter side.
TIP- for PETG & PLA, give your print a quick dip in hot water to soften it up for AirTag insertion.Â
Fun with advanced Printing Features:
If you never have played with the ironing feature in Prusa Slicer, this would be a good time, basically ironing makes for a super smooth top surface. Â Since this model has two smooth surfaces it's the perfect opportunity to try it out! Â More about ironing here - https://help.prusa3d.com/article/ironing_177488 :)
Enjoy!
