Folding Bar Copper Wallet

Hello;

Would you know how to trace this type of " Wallet " fold?

The underlying idea is to be able to create a family of parts with several sizes of copper bars, and several types of bends.
(See table below):

I attach the example downloaded from the supplier, but of course it is a " dead " body...

Kind regards.

Good evening @Maclane ,

The connection is semi-cylindrical, with an oblique axis. At 45° if we want the directions of the two flat faces to be orthogonal.
So quickly doable with the sheet metal module and a single 180° fold...

The model is attached, in 2022 version.

Thank you @m.blt ... This is exactly what I was looking for. :grinning:

It just goes to show that on Fridays we don't always have clear ideas... I worked hard to create this fold with the smoothing functions with 3D sketches. :upside_down_face:
It just goes to show that we sometimes look far and wide for the solution that is right under our noses.

All I have to do now is create my family of pieces.
