My experimentation with Capri Sun pouch seems to provide a cheap and simple way to block RFID without having to purchase specialist material. Certainly blocks my car's keyless entry well enough. Bonus is that you get a drink too!
@@notanimposter I'd be interested to have confirmation that it works, it isn't something I've seen anyone else test. Feedback please!👍 For clarity, it doesn't prevent me pressing the fob buttons through the pouch, but I can be stood right by the door and the keyless entry doesn't know I'm there.
So glad to see you posting again. I've dipped my toes back into the hardware hacker space recently and you have been a big inspiration for me for years now. Going to have to run this off for a try as my own 3D printed wallet is starting to wear down now.
Yeah I always try to find this channel cause it's got some pretty neat and simple yet useful and great ideas. The videos are so satisfying as well. I hope you keep posting node. It's always difficult to find your channel though because the - in the name. When I can't remember it.
USB Hub idea: Use resin, or something similar, to enclose and secure the components. No need to change the design, just add a manufacturing process/step. Great work as always! 🙌✨
or as an alterntive just solder two pcbs on both sides, thinner ones obviously so the LED can shine through. should be easy with castellated holes and it can be accessed if necessary
Glad to see that you're still about. Love the idea of the USB hub and whilst it might not be great for long term use, it could definitely get someone out of a tricky spot.
Man I have been itching for another vid - I was just scrubbing through the old vids to get my fix. This is going right into the print queue to get knocked out - love this setup - its so practical and useful. Also - any useful links for that usb to sd kingston reader? I cannot find them any longer and cannot find anything remotely in that form factor.
I love this! Recently been getting my printer up and running again and this seems like a lovely thing to do. Had this video saved in a bookmark since the upload and just never got around to it.
Cool concept! I would love a more in depth guide on all the different charging port options. Have you made them your self or can they be bought? These seem really interesting!
Wow, Excellent project (or projects I should say). I'll definitely be making a few for myself and for others I know. That USB Hub design especially looks spectacular, I could definitely use it quite regularly 😀
Wauw. This is some DIY stuff reminiscent of 2006 Instructables days. I remember back in the day, a popular DIY movement was starting and I was hoping it would look exactly like what you are doing with the magazine (next issue when pls) and these products. It turned out just to be an excuse to open IT coworking spaces (that were initially named DIY innovation hubs) and sell 3ds max classes and 3D printing services to guys printing anime figurines and VCs printing figurines of themselves, at a scale. It fills my heart with joy whenever you release something new.
Probably one of the better minimal wallets I've seen, especially with the multitool. The only thing I don't like about minimal wallets is that there's rarely any space for coins, which I still carry around with me. The best solution I've found are those pound coin organisers, which kind of resemble a fidget spinner and hold five £1 coins (or ten 20p coins if you put two in each slot). Its not perfect as I also want to carry a few other coins (mainly 10p's, but sometimes £2's too) so I should probably see if I can design something that suits my needs.
You could adjust one of the wallet plates to be a coin holder, so that the elastic strap holds the coins in holes in the wallet side plate against the cards inside
Welcome back! This wallet design is really cool. I still prefer softer fabric over hard(ish) plastic so it won’t scratch anything, but I really like the multi-tool card you came up with. I am probably going to make one with a few tweaks like a built in caliper to measure things accurately (especially if I make the card from steel in a CNC machine). By the way, removing the data from USB would certainly remove any kind of support for fast charging, so I wonder if there could be an adapter that will talk to the device and ask which standards it supports, and then talk to the charger and relay that information while keeping any other data from passing; allowing you to protect your device without sacrificing fast charging.
As far as I can tell, A communication protocol like this is built into every usb device as is but, the issue with relying on usb communication protocols is that devices don't usually have USB security in mind. (and usb killers can still get you) When you plug something into your system, not only should it prompt you on weather it should make the connection at all, but it should also tell you what the device is announcing itself as. When you plug in A keyboard, it should ask if you just plugged in A keyboard, and if you didn't and it was supposed to be A flash drive, then you know somethings fishy. The saddest part of all this is that if you have the will to, you can change these behaviors in almost every OS for both PC's and smartphones, but the people that need A protective measure the most get it disabled by default.

I always have a power bank with me, and that basically does this, if you plug that in the wall, and your phone into it. It's going to provide the fast charging it is capable of. But then you probably don't need the wall :D (and it's overkill)
I really like the idea of a small pcb with the components inset in the board. Could make for a cool fun pcb project. Side firing leds could light up the inside of the board.
Cool, I've been tempted to do something like this, thanks for the inspiration. One material you didn't mention, PCB itself, like the USB hub could be integrated into one of the covers. Send off the file, open a box :-D
Great stuff. Your USB power-only adapter is interesting. Some 3D printers have a bug where they feed power back over USB, and people have to either open up a cable to cut the 5V conductor or cover the 5V pin with tape. A PCB data-only (2 data pins + ground) plug adapter might be very useful.
bonus is that it's SO simple, you could prolly just buy a thousand of them and give them out for like, free, or almost free (perhaps "first 2 for free, next ones for 10 cents per two")
I really like the customization options here. I wonder how well adding the metal into the print could work. Just put down a few layers, add a super flat piece of metal in there with a bit of glue, and then finish the print. I think that could be pretty cool.
I really like these kind of sandwich wallets. The idea of making a compact version of the classic wallet seems simple, but there are so many alternatives. And this one I really really like. I've been meaning to make it since I saw a very similar one some years ago in the "one minute workbench" channel, it was named wooden wallet diy or something similar, in case anyone wanted to check it out too
If the 3D files were converted to a format that could be used for PCB manufacturing, would it be possible to add a copper layer with a solder mask? Then you would have RFID protection and possibly better manufacturing tolerances.
:) I was just thinking about the same thing, this is great :) And it was said fast at the end but the laster cut metal is really great, especially for the two endplates. Something like sendcutsend, you could try a lot of different materials and different thickness of metal (even exotic like titanium) and it's very cheap. The only issue is it's hard to prototype or make fixes because each batch needs to be $30 (but it means you can try loads of materials) I'lll have to look into making these PCB's. As an example, you can make one of the sd cards a bootable usb, and since they're so thin, have a windows, a linux, etc. Why not :-)
Hi N-O-D-E, Thanks for all the videos, I've been a subscriber for a few years now and love the style. I recently made a version of your slim wallet in hardwood veneers on my channel - I won't put the link in here as I don't want to offend you with my poor editing and filming skills! Thanks for the idea.😀
Neat, really like the idea of embedding electronics in a PCB to make a low-profile project like that. I’ve been thinking it must be possible to get a 3.5mm headphone socket made of castellated vias in a similar way. Be it for audio, or for serial data like on the Pinephone.
@@rya3190 well it would be RS232 but at TTL logic levels, also known generically as “UART”. Lots of microcontrollers have dedicated hardware for it, you just need a MAX232 or equivalent IC to change it to RS232 logic levels.
@@Scrogan Yeah, I just picked up one of those MAX232 boards (it's already installed with pins, resisters, and the port), so I'll get to mess with those ports. I suppose the two data lines could run across 3.5mm mic/stereo lines and power can be received from somewhere else.
@@rya3190 generally RS232 doesn’t carry power to peripherals anyway, as unfortunate as that may be. I was definitely disappointed when I found that the Pinephone didn’t use a TRRS jack for a power rails also.
You could pot the exposed chips and coat the other side lightly in epoxy too, that should greatly improve reliability (something like hot glue or cyanoacrylate might work too)
I use those active RFID blocking cards instead of a super thin peice of metal. An RFID skimmer uses a much more powerful transmitter than a usual reader so you can't realy be sure that passive blocking will actually work unless you have one. The active cards on the other hand work like a normal RFID card where they're powered by the reader or skimmer but instead of exchanging data they transmit interference making reading a card impossible also a stronger transmitter just results in stronger interference.
My experimentation with Capri Sun pouch seems to provide a cheap and simple way to block RFID without having to purchase specialist material. Certainly blocks my car's keyless entry well enough. Bonus is that you get a drink too!
I'll have to try this for my purposes
We really are living in a dystopian sci fi movie

For clarity, it doesn't prevent me pressing the fob buttons through the pouch, but I can be stood right by the door and the keyless entry doesn't know I'm there.
Used to use anti static pouches to do similar, but both still make very poor faradays.
Respect the pouch. Respect it!
He's back with a project. 😄

The aesthetic of your videos is so enjoyable to watch! And the project ideas are always brilliant

Immediately my thought.. Just drown it in Resin!
or as an alterntive just solder two pcbs on both sides, thinner ones obviously so the LED can shine through. should be easy with castellated holes and it can be accessed if necessary
same thought. just fill up the empty spaces around components so the entire thing is just one solid piece
just in time for the holidays. have a good december mr n-o-d-e.
Wonderful to see you back, and with such a nice and straightforward project!
Thank you for your efforts man!
Thank you! Could you share some details on the microsd reader you used? I'm assuming you deshrouded it?
I would like to see that as well :)
Respect to all dudes like you, I realize how much R&D and fails you need to overcome to succeed.
5 of the coolest minutes of RUclips I've watched recently.
Bro you should try recording a podcast, the cyber dump series were amazing
Glad to see that you're still about. Love the idea of the USB hub and whilst it might not be great for long term use, it could definitely get someone out of a tricky spot.

Glad to see you back!
And with a new project I can feel confident attempting!
So glad you are back to making videos Cant wait to see what more fantastic open source tools the hive mind thinks up.
Very cool!
I love the versatility & amount of thought you put into this 👍
Thank you N-O-D-E, what a marvellous and useful little stocking filler. Cheers.
What a great Wallet. Love your Video/Designing Style
This is awesome! I really love the multi tool!

Welcome back Mr.Node
You, sir, have given me the motivation to set up my 3d printer again.
Great to have you back.

the return of the king
He’s really back this is amazing 😆
its so great job node as usual
I've been looking for a slim wallet I can print. Thanks for the great timeing!
Yo, you can fill holes with paint, clear lacquer. It will look awesome and you will make them waterproof. Love your style man. Stay safe
Wow a new video. Thank you so much.
Fantastic video and design as always
That usb hub is really neat! I would probably just fill the holes with epoxy resin so all the parts are held in place
Nailed it! EDC peeps eat your heart out.
